So, I found out that at TV Tower P.B.'s toppins are quite standard. No, it’s not bad, actually it's cute, but I had a thought: “What would P.B.’s “toppins” look like if they were adapted to his profession as a mechanic?” 🤔
Therefore, I came up with something like fan characters in form of instruments (not all of them, of course, because there are too many of them).
Well, let this serve as inspiration to someone)

sentinel's intro to obsidian for cyberstudious' masterpost jam day 1
this week, i'm gonna help you get set up in obsidian! getting obsidian downloaded and starting to build out your vault is fairly straightforward, so i'll also touch on plugins and personal knowledge management (pkm) to help you organize your files to your liking. today, let's tackle the basics:
what's obsidian? obsidian is a notetaking app and personal knowledge base that uses markdown files to give you quick access to and full ownership of your files. vaults (what your database/file folder is called) can be fully customized through the use of plugins and themes and are stored locally, allowing for quick offline access.
what's markdown? markdown is a markup language that adds formatting to plaintext files. its a fancy (and super easy) way of adding styling to a text file without making the file size huge. it's easy to learn, and works great for notetaking.
what should i know? you'll need a quick primer on markdown! i recommend markdown guide's for the basics, and obsidian's syntax docs for obsidian-flavoured markdown—this comes in handy for linking files and images. you'll also need to know a bit about your computer to make sure you download the right version of obsidian.
should i use obsidian or notion? depends what you're using it for! i prefer obsidian over notion for a ton of reasons. the biggest being obsidian's offline capabilities, speed, and plugins that help with my studies (like quick LaTeX!). i also love the privacy that obsidian offers, i align greatly with the ceo's values, and i appreciate having full control over my files as well as the app's interface. i won't totally nerd out here, but for me, obsidian is the no brainer choice when i need to get some deep focus sessions in.

got a question? i tried to keep jargon out of this as much as possible, but i might've made a mistake! if you get stuck, or have a question about obsidian or markdown, let me know! i'm more than happy to help :)
what's next? tomorrow's theme is books! i'll be sharing my favourite pkm books that helped me organize my obsidian vault to become an academic weapon
No more work this week. we are going to use the tools for other funny things.

THE STRAW CART 202304161710148RT1
When passing along the road and crossing rural areas, we often see in the distance the straw rolls that the farmers make to feed the animals. Did you think they were that big?Location: Pyrenees, Ripollès, Catalonia, Southern Europe. Fine Art Prints

Woe, my passion project be upon ye-
And that's it! For Now!!
Thank you so much for reading and i hope it comes in handy for any of your wingies needs :3 This took me... a While, more than it should've, but is finally here! And maybe i've been slacking a little on the tagging for this blog specifically, but i recommend besides reading all of this, to go check my Guides tag, as i'm missing a few little things here and there that i couldn't for the life of me find a way to explain, and i've already re-done this Way too much for my liking o(-(
But you can also just go around this blog to get some inspiration :o I got a Lot of different wing styles here, and again i gotta go back to tagging (and fix my blog web theme, don't worry about it—) but other than that, you're free to explore this lil blog of mine
Two last things—First, i did all of this for free, i want it to reach as many people as possible (which is why soon-ish i'll translate the entirety of it to spanish and add image descriptions to both versions, i need a break....), but if you liked this enough and would like to leave a lil' tip on my kofi (@/rainbowpinyata), i would appreciate it a lot... Second, my inbox is always open if you or someone you know is in need of a more in-dept explanation on any of the parts of this, as i had to resume most of the info, or just needs a little bit of advice. I'm gonna explain wings Much more than i already have on the next part, but that... is going to take a bit, so...
Anyways, many thanks to my friends for always being there for me, i don't think i would've gone past the first draft or the many others after that without their encouragement, suggestions and general help with keeping me going. It means everything to me.
Also, click for better quality pls, the pages are pretty big but... this site....
Tips for writing those gala scenes, from someone who goes to them occasionally:
Generally you unbutton and re-button a suit coat when you sit down and stand up.
You’re supposed to hold wine or champagne glasses by the stem to avoid warming up the liquid inside. A character out of their depth might hold the glass around the sides instead.
When rich/important people forget your name and they’re drunk, they usually just tell you that they don’t remember or completely skip over any opportunity to use your name so they don’t look silly.
A good way to indicate you don’t want to shake someone’s hand at an event is to hold a drink in your right hand (and if you’re a woman, a purse in the other so you definitely can’t shift the glass to another hand and then shake)
Americans who still kiss cheeks as a welcome generally don’t press lips to cheeks, it’s more of a touch of cheek to cheek or even a hover (these days, mostly to avoid smudging a woman’s makeup)
The distinctions between dress codes (black tie, cocktail, etc) are very intricate but obvious to those who know how to look. If you wear a short skirt to a black tie event for example, people would clock that instantly even if the dress itself was very formal. Same thing goes for certain articles of men’s clothing.
Open bars / cash bars at events usually carry limited options. They’re meant to serve lots of people very quickly, so nobody is getting a cosmo or a Manhattan etc.
Members of the press generally aren’t allowed to freely circulate at nicer galas/events without a very good reason. When they do, they need to identify themselves before talking with someone.
O me estafaron en la primera o se equivocaron en la segunda 🤔
