being a hypochondriac in such a dismissive family SUCKS! i scraped my ankle pretty hard on the metal frame of my bed, which is very old and probably dirty/rusty. it really hurt, but i did all the proper steps ie. washed it with soap, then hydrogen peroxide, and put on neosporin. so yeah, like, 99.9% chance i'm perfectly fine and just being paranoid. but what if, in the very 0.1% chance, i actually end up getting tetanus?

i think the last time i got my vaccine was in sixth grade?like the mandatory period when you have to get it entering middle school or something...so it’s been more than 10 years. sigh, i just want to get the shot to be safe rather than sorry, you know? i do not want to get lockjaw and just suffer because i put off a stupid vaccine.

the problem is i can’t drive, so i’m planning to ask my brother to drop me off at a minuteclinic tmrw or tuesday so i can just get a walk-in tdap shot. but my sister is already completely dismissing me, saying i should just wait and see if it gets worse.(but that's the whole point i wanna get it..i don't want it to get worse!!) and my brother is so much worse about this stuff...he’s just gonna wave me off and say, “i’m sure you’ll be fine.” just ughhhhh.

like i'm the one gonna be fucked and affected if everyone turns out wrong and i actually did get the infection!!! so, it's easy for them to act like i'm crazy and dismiss me.

i think it just hurts too since i never ever go to the doctor, so they should know how anxious i am about this, and that it’s taking so much out of me to push past my severe anxiety/agoraphobia to go to a stupid clinic in a city i’m not familiar with at all.

i really don’t wanna get laughed at… like, i know that i’m being so paranoid, but every time i google it, it’s like, “you should get the booster just in case,” and it just reminds me of rabies, which i went down a dreadful rabbit hole about years ago, and i do not want that!!

Why this piece is awesome: Lovely piece of Ilya and Shane as competing medieval tournament knights. It definitely looks like it could be the cover of a historical/fantasy novel.

Hello Hello! After the trials of AO3 being down for a couple hours today (my suspicion is that Hap got a lil TOO excited about the new giant espresso machine), our assignments are OUT! Due to the same delay, the assignments are now going to be 24 hours later, on Monday, March 16th 2026 at 9:59 EDT. (Countdown)

Questions? Concerns? Need to change your assignment for a pinch hit? Please email the modmail at highadrenalinemod@gmail.com.

Eleven initial pinch hits are going to be arriving in the next couple minutes, but for now:

GO! GO! GO!

The little nerd show was good. Never really busy, but steady-ish. Mostly a Pokemon/card-heavy group, didn't move any of my animanga stuff, but sold a few TFs and some random other things. Sold video games, and at the end another vendor offered me half of what I had marked on my 'expensive' PS1 games which was still way more than double? triple? what I'd paid and I said "sure!" because, like, they are out of my sale box and I have cash in hand. Next show is in April and I suppose I'll be best served by picking out more games that I'm never going to play. (Also the vendor beside us kept coming over and looking at a couple of random PSP games but said he hadn't done well enough to justify buying them. He had Pokemon plushies and I said I'd trade for a couple of cool critters. I got a Pikachu and some sort of mushroom with tentacles that made me laugh.)

It's March, so I have communities to do things with and promote in general... I have a lot of stuff to do in general. While it is still chilly at the moment, the end of the week is supposed to be impressively warm and I will be able to hopefully do a quick garage-clean. Yay!

I suppose this week, if it's as quiet as it's looking like it might be, I can work on my Redacted III contest entry. That should be easy-ish to do? Hopefully? Just need to find momentum...

I do all these cheerful posts to keep my spirits up, and retain an outlet for conversation (which helps so much, believe me), but sometimes...

If year one was Denial and Bargaining, then year two is definitely shaping up to be Depression and Anger. I preferred the first two and would like to go back to those. Those were good.

Goes without saying, but I don't feel like saying anything else right now: Being a widow is absolutely awful.

Separated these from the Arcee & Carly batch because, um, it seemed kind of silly to do a post where more than two-thirds of the icons were from the same image.

( 10 icons )

sheliak

This week, I spent probably too much time making probably too many icons of the same image. These are the ones I ended up thinking were good enough to post.

The icons

[1-5]

[6-10]

[11-15]

[16-20]

[21-25]

Textures: bombay101, bourniio, colette, elwyn, jeanna-davis, kaelien, lookslikerain, shiruji, unreported, vitriolicism, youcallitwinter

Blather

Okay. I really, really like the cover to Transformers Skybound #10—Carly and Arcee stargazing together while Carly is sitting on the roof of her van. It's a pretty image, and I really love vengeful human teenager Carly and her quasi-familial relationships with giant robots from outer space.

It turns out it is really hard to icon that image. A simple wide crop (#1) works, but you lose the details and especially the expressions. A close crop is tough because getting both characters will also get awkward parts of Carly's car (#2 was the best I got in terms of a close crop).

So I thought of circular crops! (#11-15, #24) Which did work better... but I have very few circular frame textures, and some of those had a pretty small "frame". (One also has part of the circle spilling off of the icon, which was useful for hiding inconvenient lone headlights and things like that—#11—pity I didn't like the flame border that much.)

So I used those few (some with significant color manipulation, and with different circle crops because I wasn't sure how much to prioritize getting Arcee's hand in the frame—I do like the neon effect I ended up with in #12-13), and then it occurred to me I could make my own frames by just resizing circles of different colors, and set those on other backgrounds. More flexible! (#15-20, #24-25). For a most of these I just used a plain circle crop, but in a few I used the circle as a flat colored background, or a transparent one (#20 is my favorite of these).

Then it occurred to me that I didn't actually need to keep the whole background–I could just cut the characters out! This led to #5 and #10, where Carly is "sitting" on the frame. Then I wanted the starry sky back so I did some with the background in frames, and then I started playing with text (#6-10, #22-23). I like how some of these turned out a lot! Some of them do basically use the text as unreadable texture, though.

(Around here I forgot my original objective and made icon #3, which is actually a narrower version of the wide crop, using a recolored texture as a border.)

Then it occurred to me I could crop two separate circles, one for each character, and get some flexibility that way. Thus #16-20 and #25.

... And then I realized I'd done a solo icon of Arcee and not one of Carly, so I did #21 to make things even.

Anyway, I'm planning on inflicting it on

ic_animated for the Screencap Pool round, to see if anyone else has ideas about what to do with it.

Finally getting new glasses!
And man, it feels like my vision went into 4k now compared my old glasses, is this what good lenses feels like?
On other hand, my vision has been kinda sucked lately because I have to squint just to see object from far away maybe around 3-5 meter at best & I got dizzy. So I went to eye doctor to get new prescription, and I am quite surprised I got minus 3 on my right eye + cylindric 0.5 on my left eye.
Damn, guess looking at computer and phone too long ain't good huh...

Most of this was typed up Friday evening and is only somewhat coherent but that gives you a sense of how tired I was.

This became The Big Push to Get Shit Done for Maple Syrup. My whole body is sore. Wednesday was my first day on the mountain this week, replacing drops. We do maple syrup on a small/medium scale by tubes, around 600 taps. Smaller or more old fashioned producers do spouts and buckets where the buckets hang from the spouts or at the bottom of trees but that works best on flatter ground accessible by vehicle or horse drawn sleds. They also need to be emptied every day. We have a small mountain.

It is still a mountain. Actually, I think technically it is a ridge at the top of it, which isn’t where we are working, it’s further up and to the right of the below photo where my uncle’s orchard is. I don’t have a good sense of how high it is. In the view, we go up to the top of what is visible straight ahead and a little to the right.

A small hump of a mountain covered in trees and the sky is a clear beautiful blue.

... is a placeholder; apparently getting the bus to a hospital appointment today ate my entire brain, and I need to be up early tomorrow morning for a different medical appointment for a different body part in a different place. (Why am I being sent to get an ultrasound four stops down the Piccadilly line instead of five minutes up the road? A MYSTERY.)

Finally got my new credit card!
Had a great time with my friends at dinner last night except when I was trying to leave the restaurant and some man would not move his baby out of the way, it was a very narrow passage between two tables and I do not think he should be letting the baby block it like that.
Apparently at about 5 this morning I was dead asleep when L. texted me asking me to call before going over to their house. I called her a little after one in the afternoon and she never answered the phone so I assumed she was still asleep (I hadn't even known in advance that she was coming back today) and left a message and didn't go to her house. I have not heard back from her.
