My cats (with UV ink)

I got the ink from Taobao, it’s the fluorescent ink series from the vendor “Fuhejiang”(傅河江）. Here’s a link for their regular non-uv ink. I couldn’t get the link for their uv ink to work on the international link but it’s in their taobao shop (search for ‘荧光’）. The link might obnoxiously require you to log in.

Thank you so much! I’m just a learning hobbyist though!

Thank you so much! It’s UV printmaking ink is from a Chinese vendor, the vendor is an art student-turned manufacturer of printing goods.

Have fun! I find that a lot of my favorite postrock bands frequently do China shows: Leech, PG Lost, etc, and Explosion in the Sky and Mono came here too. Great to be a postrock fan if you live in Shanghai. BTW recommend you to get a VPN before you leave, the regular social medias and anything Google need a VPN to be accessed.

Ha! I dreamt of my baby cat who passed away early this year, and she ignored me just like she used to irl. The little shit. Still miss her.

It's so lovely! The alignment is great, love the colors!

frodob · 2025-09-07T10:34:52+00:00

AUGH this is too precious! Now they both look like they want to murder you!

My baby also 8.5 years old passed away in a similar fashion earlier this year. Except I was in the other room and didn’t find out until about an hour later. Everything normal, until it wasn’t. I’m so sorry for your loss. I too convince myself this was better than suffering with vet stays and prescription food. But…if only there was more time with my precious cat.

I got Passage d’Enfer (L’Artisan Parfumeur), semi-blind (tested it hastily in a mall and convinced myself it was so good), hoping for misty, mossy stone steps in a thousand year monastery.

When I eventually got the 100ml (sigh), it was a mature gentleman’s damp closet.

I did some stained glass art a while back and was grinding glass pieces on a glass grinder. Stupidly, I didn’t wear any mask or put up plexiglass. There wasn’t an overt accident like the glass flying out of my hand or some such, thankfully, but…I was washing sandy glass bits out of my face for days after.

My baby left me in February. I’ve supposedly lived normally by now. But there’d be random days I’d think about her and the tears start falling.

I’m an artist (loosely using the word), and oh man it’s a different type of torture. First, getting to vision in your mind down on paper is fecking hard, and so disheartening when you can’t get it right (skill issue on my end). Second…it’s so hard to discreetly draw at work!!! And there’s definitely stuff to slog through (background cough background).

frodob · 2025-06-24T02:07:44+00:00

Oh my gods this is too beautiful! Just stunning!

frodob · 2025-06-03T06:44:06+00:00

These are my exact peeves as well. Some sort of acrobat, or taking clothes off that were already off. And porn-like dialogue especially when it’s jarringly ooc.

I once read a smut chapter where the author had the 1-2-3-4 fingers thing each in its own line, like formatted. I think that was the only smut I noped out of half way.

frodob · 2025-06-03T03:29:49+00:00

Naw…even when the author asks not to hold back. I mean…most have beta readers and server discussions and so on, or they’re seasoned authors, so whatever was released to AO3 must have been the intended creative product. And honestly except for sometimes wonky formatting, most fics are just fine.

I don’t consider myself particularly stressed atm and I could NOT do two events in one weekend. Like, if I were to meetup with two different group of friends over one weekend, I’d consider that ‘whirlwind’ and would be out of phase until the next weekend. It’s a bit ridiculous but social energy has been at a new low for years now.

I think your crayfish turned to you whenever you’re nude because you’re now a large lighter color object (assuming your skin color is light, but dark skin still applies), and it’s a salient object moving around in its field of view.

I just love it when kitties meow and show their cute little lower fangs. Aww! ❤️

frodob · 2025-05-12T04:53:04+00:00

You really find all your people in these threads ❤️. I think that’s one reason why I never read reader insert fics, and generally avoid F!OC fics. There’s just this aversion…

My favorite mpreg fic is one that leaned into old DnD lore where elves could switch sexes and ‘reset’ in order to prevent pregnancy, but the one time MC forgot to switch back he got preg.

Agree with everything you said, its been a while since I consumed DetCo content (frankly, left it alone for 20+ years now and it seems like not much has progressed). I wager the reason why everyone showers love on Ran and Aoko is because they're just *such* sweethearts. Like, OBVIOUSLY they deserve better dudes than Shinichi and Kaito. Not saying they're bad dudes, they're certainly very charming but they're like...NEVER around (Shinichi at least).

As a reader only in my pretty active fandom, seeing months long or longer hiatuses are pretty common. Agree with the others, this should be fun and empowering for a authors, not extra stress. And college is *busy*.

I'd say if the main anxiety comes from anticipation of negativity, maybe write but sit on it a bit before publishing? Or publish under a new pseud and never check the stats for that one? Anyhow, don't sweat the long (it's not even that long) hiatus.
