LMAO ITS ALMOST BEEN A WHOLE YE A R since I've updated or been active here. Sorry but not sorry? I guess. I kid you not, I'm almost out every day of the week because of uni and my social life, I can't remember a single day when I've been able to sit down at my desk and been relaxed enough to play TEF lol.

I still think of you guys a lot though, I hope you haven't forgotten how dumb I am. <3

Wow, I have been really inactive everywhere online. I often come to TEFc to lurk briefly, but even then it's not to the same level of attachment I had a few years ago. I'm not active on skype anymore either - I've moved to Discord!
Pretty much every night since uni's started I've always gotten home pretty damn late compared to when I was in high school - I think it averages 6-9pm, so I barely have time to think about my online life when I need to attend to so many things outside of it. I hope that didn't come over sounding like an excuse.
I've talked with a few people about this but I've been feeling really, really detached from most things, mostly because I think university work doesn't allow much space for much else. Because of that though, my art production and inspiration has dropped to an all time low, haha. Even if I carry my sketchbook with me everywhere I go, I barely touch it and I doubt I've drawn digitally for a few months, save for a stale WIP. It's a little frightening, seeing that art has always been a constant passion of mine, despite everything else that's happened around me.

Erm. So I think that was a convoluted way of me saying that I've become distant to this community and its seriously genuine, awesome people the same way I've become distant with my art. I'm not sure whether I'll feel like picking up an art tool even if I have free time, and it's the same for talking and making friends. Thank you to the people who understand and continue to support me thoughout this, though. I'm surprised my lack of communication for weeks on end still doesn't discourage your heartwarming welcomes but I'm very grateful for them.

18/06/17
I haven't drawn digitally for what feels like so long, university is keeping me tight by its side like a noose. By Friday though I'll have finished all my assignments and handed them in, so perhaps you'll see more from me around that time.
But until then, I hope you are all staying healthy, keeping well, drinking lots of water and again, staying healthy. Take care of yourselves!

Guys guys, this is important I want a character which is super fluffy and puffy and also is half onion like if you hurt them you'll cry whether you want to or not

boy oh boy I've done it now guys.
FOr some unknown reason my tablet has stopped working. I.e, will not light up, won't respond. Legit I've tried every solution I've come across - changing usb ports, changing cables, uninstall and reinstall drivers, restart PC, waitING, even

Doesn't work. This is the pits, since art has always been a strong obsession of mine, hands down. Fair enough, I can work traditionally and if I'm desperate I'll use the mouse but the agony of not being able to create and experiment is starting to gnaw at me already.
Heck.

24/12/16
Hey guys, sorry for my almost 0 presence anywhere. I didn't realise moving house would be this exhausting, phew. We still don't have a fridge, pots and pans or eating utensils so right now we're limited to eating out or bringing back bread and stuff.
My PC isn't set up yet either so TEF activity is kept at a constant 0. Hopefully that'll change soon though!

sOoOOoOOO
GUYSS my atar came out today! (the atar, for those who are not australian is the rank that determines whether you can enter your applied university courses)
I got 92.35, which means I'm in the top 7.65% of the students in my state which is.. ok?? My preferred course 'Visual communications' has a cut off mark of 93 though. GOOD NEWS, if you get top marks in a subject relevant to the course you can gain bonus 5 points, which is what I did with visual art.

SO HOPEFULLY THIS MEANS
I got accepted into my preferred course/??? (fingers crossed I don't jinx anything)

15/12/16
So my final examinations results came out today!! I actually forgot they were sending them out today via text so when I woke up in the morning and looked at my phone I was casually like, oh sweet, somebody texted me I feel wanted, but it was not to be. Didn't do badly, didn't do well. Most of my subjects save Chemistry and Visual Art were in the high 80's. Chemistry was my worst at 81 and Art was my best at 95!

So far, a lot of things have been pointing me to continuing my artistic career so I've put as my first choice for university offers a course called 'visual communications'. It's kind of like graphic design but for a client/purpose. Things I'll learn over the three years include typography, web design and I think basic animations, so there's that. Hopefully I can find some ways to show you my future assignments and projects as well!!

I've also found a really close friend who wants to move out of her house very soon, and while I'm still pretty apprehensive about living so independently we've plans to earn enough money to buy a small apartment closer to the city where our universities within the next few years. Wish me luck, guys, I love you all!

2) No words, just pictures.
2-extra) Bats are mammals. Mammals lack scales (those that have 'scales' [such as pangolins, or porcupines with spines] actually have modified hairs), but have fur/hair. Feathers are (edit: possibly) modified scales (edit: or evolved alongside them, and at least share proteins with a reptilian ancestor) (I believe I read somewhere once upon a time Edit: I did but I'm a dinosaur so things have been updated). Therefore, they lack feathers and have fur.

Do you think you could describe the pictures in your own words? For me, 'river wolf' reminds me of Rose's 'wolf' in 'The Path', and a pond full of pike.

Question 1 Have you had a dream recently? If so, would you care to share?

Ugh I had this super weird dream that woke me up at about 1:30 this morning. I was with this other person, and we had to like... hide a rainbow from this creeper dude using portals. And he was stalking us. And there was something about old train paths through a forest and that was the best place to hide the rainbows because they wouldn't suspect them being there because that's where they were looking? idek. But I woke up when creeper dude walked through one of our portals and found us and we were like FUUUUU.

Yes.
I only remember the end. My dog was suddenly really scratched up and bloody and there was blood all over the floor and I woke up screaming.

Yep.

I am pretty sure its because I started to play Viscera Clean Up Detail the night before. e_____e




Question 2: Is there a song stuck in your head?

"Send me on my way" - Rusted Root

I blame Gassy Mexican and Seananners for this... they started singing it in one of their videos and uughgh......-.- It's been stuck in my head for like 3 days. And it brings back awesome memories of one of my favorite childhood movies, Matilda though. So I can't really complain. It's a good song ^^

HOW WAS I NOT TRACKING

HOW WAS I NOT TRACKING THIS
NIRIYA WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING WITH MY LIFE?

Question 4 - Have you ever made some kind of flower chain? With daisies, clover flowers..?
Well when we moved into my current house last summer I was 21 years old and had somehow avoided doing yardwork most of my life by pulling the "but I'm a helpless female oh god please don't ask me to carry heavy things" card because I'm a terrible person giving people with two x chromosomes a bad name. ANYWAY we moved in and the backyard was a mess of weeds. Like there were more weeds than grass. And my name was the only one on the lease out of the five of us in the house, so it was my neck on the line when the property manager rolled around to look at our yard. So I broke out the weedwhacker and murdered a ton of dandelions, and when I was done I took their cut off heads and I made a crown and went inside and proudly told all of my housemates that I was bathing in the blood of my foes.

Question 5 - If you had all the time in the world, what would you do with it? You could go anywhere, do anything and probably not get into trouble for it.
Realistically? I would probably just keep surfing the internet. But for argument's sake we can pretend I am not lazy and I can be idealistic and say that I'd use my time to master an art or something.

IM NOT QUITE SURE BREATHING,

IM NOT QUITE SURE
BREATHING, MAYBE?

or bathing in the sap of your fearsome stationary adversaries that barely reach the height of your fingers

Surfing the internet's a cool way to go. Don't forget to sunbathe in the pixels too. ;]

Thank you, Tuo and Kohva!

SoliloquyChryseis's picture

I think I missed question 3.

I think I missed question 3. I am good at this >_>

Question 4 - Have you ever made some kind of flower chain? With daisies, clover flowers..?


I think I tried with dandelions. Years ago. Over the years I have become less and less an outdoors person, though I love the outdoors. It's a really complex and stupid situation when you get down to it. It got kinda worse two weeks ago when I got a tick bite and freaked out at 2am when I noticed it. I'm still waiting to see if I develop a ring. If I do, I'm pretty screwed ;;

Question 5 - If you had all the time in the world, what would you do with it? You could go anywhere, do anything and probably not get into trouble for it.

Time =//= money, so likely the same I have been doing. I don't really have the money to go just anywhere, so if I take that into account, I'd probably just keep playing games x3

Now if money was no problem, heck, I'd go everywhere. Japan first and foremost, a guilty pleasure of mine and a culture that I so desperately want to absorb myself into. Its different just watching anime, you know? Theres only so much you can learn from them, no matter how historically accurate.

I also have a deep desire to go to Ireland, as well as England, Thailand, China and Egypt. I find places like France, Italy, and Germany to be too cliche (even though I am mostly Italian and German myself). And no offense to anyone on the comm but Russia doesn't seem to safe for someone as open minded like me ;; I would honestly love to visit everywhere just once, who doesn't really? History in classes is so boring, I could barely pay attention when I was younger. But to live and breath it would be a whole new thing entirely, and I could see myself learning far more in person.

And last but certainly not least, I would see every single Abney Park concert every because I would have the time to fly to the west coast, the money to pay them what they deserve, and enjoy myself!!! On a positive note, they are coming to NYC 3 days after my birthday this year, and I WILL NOT MISS IT. It will be the first time I have seen them in person ;; I'm so excited I COULD POP.

I got side tracked. >.> <3 (These are fun Niri!)
Waning-Sun's picture

Question 4) I have, though it

Question 4) I have, though it was when I was younger. I'd take clover flowers and make chains out of them, dandelions have a scent that I don't care for when they're broken. I'd also take wheat and the fluff from purple thistle to make little bird nests.

Question 5) If I had all the time in the world...well I'd probably keep doing what I've been doing: hobbies. Now if I had money, time and normal people skills I'd go all over the place. I'd hit everything in the USA, then wander down to Peru and see awesome things down there...heck I'd go just about everywhere. I've always wanted to go to Ireland and see the castles and waterfalls that flow upward, and Italy to see what's left of Ancient Rome. History has always been one of my favorite subjects so I've got a ton of things I need to see on my bucket list.

Hope you don`t mind if I bump

Hope you don`t mind if I bump this, but I saw your latest question and wanted to write up a little drabble really quickly. I basicially just attempted to describe the color without actually stating what it was. Also it`s after 1 AM here and I`m exhausted so I`m sorry if it isn`t that good :c

Question 6: The one in which I favor is one of subtle relief, one taken for granted in this sphere of chaos. A sign of health, it slinks through the softened children that sprout from the bark of the petrified giants, bleeding with the screech of life. It stands erect with the eroded spikes that coat the earth, constantly trampled by the feet of myriads. It is not noticed, it is taken for granted-the pulse of the planet`s heart.
In in times of mischief it becomes sickness, the thin line that taints the tender apricot skin, the sly pseudo-vein that spawns panic and fear. It is rot, it is death, it is the slow and sure over taker of the bread of life. It casts its filtered shadows onto forest beds, a disease creeping over the hapless and splintered wood.
It is, indeed, a great many things-the harbinger of life, and the precursor to rigor mortis. It need not be noticed, only admired hastily-for if it were ever to disappear, surely, the breath-starved inhabitants of this world would soon delve into the depths of hysteria. Life is a dull thing without its trademark tint.

(The color that was being described is light green, by the way. 8D)
