For the second gif assignment this week, I chose to do a sticky note animation. I have fun making little animations in the flipnote app on my 3DS, but it’s been a long time since I’ve actually made a real flipbook. I’m gonna go ahead and show you the finished product right away, because OH … Continue reading Cat: Portrait of a Troublemaker.

Today’s daily create was an ASCII selfie! I like it, because it hides the fact that I’m still in my pajamas and haven’t showered yet. in ascii, nobody knows you're greasy…✌️😥 #tdc1971 #ds106 pic.twitter.com/kM4SICcOCv — Rebecca S (@rivy3ds) June 2, 2017 It also reminds me of Pam’s summer project. Beesly!!!

It’s been a wild year. I think a lot of people would agree. Sometimes there’s so much going on it’s like being caught in a tornado of unending crappiness, and all the debris keeps hitting you in the face and saying, “you thought that was the worst it could get? Look at THIS!” Smack! I’d definitely … Continue reading In the eye of the storm. Wait, wrong weather metaphor

Someone is trying to pick a fight in today’s Daily Create! My girl isn’t into it though. She just wanted to see some dolphins, maybe get some ice cream. beach drama. no thanks. #tdc1970 #ds106 pic.twitter.com/7o66e4U75O — Rebecca S (@rivy3ds) June 1, 2017

I’m a person who loves scary stories – I like ghost stories, stories about weird creatures, and stories about hearing a tap-tap-tap on the window but no one is there. I love them even though they scare the living daylights out of me. Usually after a spooky-show-bender, I have to watch a few episodes of … Continue reading What the heck is that?!

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the best at video games. Sometimes I just play them the exact opposite of how they’re meant to be played, like taking a Mario Kart route backwards just to see how everything looks like going the wrong way. When there’s a boss fight, or any inkling … Continue reading Sorry Zelda, I’m busy. Cooking.

For my second ever gif (I really like making them, even if my computer doesn’t!) I went with the Goof Gif assignment. I love blooper reels and if I could, I’d buy box sets of all of my favorite shows just for blooper reels, deleted scenes, and commentary. I had a hard time choosing whether I wanted … Continue reading That’s not something that props can fix… that’s gonna be a little harder to fix!

The daily create today was all about pink appreciation and there are quite a few pink things in my life that I love. This morning one of my cats was sleeping and her tongue was hanging out of her mouth (shoutout to r/blep and other blep collections) but I wasn’t able to get a picture without … Continue reading Cat feet

Spoiler: I don’t think so. It’s been more like “I’ll show you a picture, and leave you confused.” Aaah! It’s been a long week. Setting up the blog itself and connecting everything was something of a logistical nightmare… I can’t remember the last time I’ve had so many tabs open. I was hesitant at first … Continue reading Week in review… did I live up to my blog title?

I think that of all the things this week, the photoblitz is what I was most nervous about doing. The time limit made me anxious, and rightly so. I didn’t finish in time! I began at 11:13am and went three minutes over the limit. I think I’d blame that on my location choice (way too … Continue reading Reflection on a photoblitz

I played this one with a handicap I think. I took an old Pikachu plush around as a prop and tried to tell a story through the safari. I definitely wish I had done it on the day I had intended to, because I wanted to use sunlight liberally. Huge mistake on my part for … Continue reading Fat Pikachu’s photo safari

I’ve been trying out the photography tips from this week’s ongoing assignment and yesterday I think I caught something really cool using some of the tips. I had gone outside with my dogs (both are very clingy and like company, even when doing their business… and one can’t be trusted not to jump the fence) and … Continue reading Photo op!

I got my first spam comment from a porn blog today, y’all. I was holding off on making a spubble because I just didn’t know what I would caption, but holy moly, this was nasty. The bot wasn’t even trying to hide it. It literally had “pornblog” in the URL. I got online and saw … Continue reading A horrified spubble.

Today’s daily create: an exercise in acceptance! Asked to clear up our life history as though it were browser history, I knew exactly where I’d start – high school. @ds106dc @ds106dc heavy yikes. Poor grandma had to put up with my edgy nonsense on Jesus' bday. DELETE! #tdc1965 #ds106 pic.twitter.com/XAnCbknIAa — Rebecca S (@rivy3ds) May … Continue reading Shame!

I really like pixel art, but I’m no pro. I decided to do 256 Points anyway. I used to spend a lot of time editing Pokemon sprites and making Frankenstein’s monster-esque trainers and Pokemon, but I thought I’d stick with today’s theme and go Animal Crossing. So here’s my boy Bob the cat.   Here … Continue reading Back to your roots, Bob

Someone’s been into Erik’s house and messed with all his stuff. They left a letter saying six things were changed, but in reality, they changed seven things just to drive him crazy. I wonder what he did that made him deserve such a thing. This is another one I’m particularly happy about because the only … Continue reading We Amélie the guy

For my second visual assignment, I chose to do “What a Crappy Font Will Do” not just because the title made me chuckle, but because I do get some sick kicks out of seeing serious companies use comic sans or papyrus. It’s always spas that use papyrus. What’s up with that? Here’s the first of two … Continue reading Would you buy this paper? Or join this hoity toity community?

Check it out!!   View post on imgur.com For my first visual assignment, I decided to Say it Like the Peanut Butter with Satoshi Kon’s 1997 thriller, Perfect Blue. It also just happens to be one of my favorite movies. This is the pivotal scene in which Mima (a pop idol who quit the music biz to … Continue reading Perfect Blue… and the imperfect path to that gif

This one took a long time, both in choosing my wishes and in cobbling them together. Here they are in all their glory. @ds106dc @ds106dc if I had 3 wishes.. 🤔🐪 .#tdc1962 #ds106 pic.twitter.com/iqw0CxpVzz — Rebecca Schaeffer (@rivy3ds) May 24, 2017 It definitely felt weird to throw full prescription bottles into the trash, but a … Continue reading I wish you would stop rubbing that lamp in that creepy way

Tuesday’s Daily Create asked that we talk about our favorite childhood toy and post a picture if we still had it. I was (and still am) one of those people who can’t look into the eyes of a stuffed animal without knowing in my heart that they’re alive and have souls, so I have had … Continue reading I stole my favorite childhood toy.

I think I must have spent more time customizing my blog’s appearance than actually posting anything. Even on my personal tumblr, which uses a pre-made css, I think I spent upwards of 6 hours tweaking it. It might also be because I’m flying blind and learning as I go. It also took me quite a … Continue reading a conglomeration of hellos
