For those who helped me with the design ideas,
here's what I came up with!

instead of roses, I ended up making a blue columbine flower for my coworker! Its a natural flower in colorado anyways, so it also represents where I'm living rn :vanora_smile:
what you think?

I'm gonna order one to see how the colors print >v>
teepublic is usually very good with their print quality, but this is a darker design than what I typically do


*edit
I forgot to make a pastel version! I'll try to remember to make one later x)

tuesday night was sports massage class.
At the end, we students partnered up and had to make up a sport scenario that we'd pretend we have to go do a tournament for soon. So we're put on a 20 minute timer to give an invigorating sports massage.
"Get creative, have fun with it"

We're all so conditioned to do slowwww paced, relaxation or rehabilitation massages that this was quite jarring.

well wednesday my instructor was like
"last night was so much fun to watch you guys. I felt like, for the first time probably, I got to see you guys for who you really are"

Which is nice, everyone laughed a lot and had fun with the challenge
but I
I screeched in panic through most of it

is that me? is that my true color? :vanora_xd: lmao

@q t e a p o n:
I'm on team sugar ;v;
and its okay if you dont make many! its a hard event to keep up with sometimes

@purpsy:
Oh I'm just going to draw this digitally and submit it to Teepublic. They deal with printing it onto the template :D
(the base of it doesn't have to be black either, the edges are the only thing that stays black)

I love all the ideas!!
I might do something with a mixture of them O:
geometric shapes, flowers, happy colors
galaxy textures but on light colors maybe...

maybe another version that fit galaxy color themes, making the rest of the design warm colors..
I think that'd look pretty cool if I could pull it off o vo
I'll show you all whenever I get it going!

@littlesnail:
Roses could be nice, I haven't actually tried to seriously draw a rose (with any ounce of effort) in a really long time!

@totalanimefan:
That'd be copyright infringement, since the designs belong to voltra O:
I'd have to ask them about it!

based on Teepublic's design templates.
The borders remain black but I can toss my art on the rest of it.
My coworker keeps saying I should make my own mask design but my brain too tired to think of ideas xD


Aside from like
lower face region of my OC's
but thats something only I would get, and then I'd have to answer the same question about it all day xD noty

@bioshock:
Lol right, I honestly think these kinds of people are either on something (the lady tonight most likely was) or something psychological going on that they can't help. But still, not paid enough to deal with them so I just try to avoid engaging with them much and getting them out as quickly as I can xD

@kitalpha hart:
Haha it wasn't alcohol for sure, I can usually recognize that kind of intoxication. She just had something off about her (aside from being a karen) so I bet there were some drugs going on xD meth is pretty big around here apparently.
I didn't look at her much though, I have a (bad?) habit of never looking customers in the face. That's usually where I can see if someone's on something crazy or not though, usually affects their skin, eyes or teeth in a way

@kitalpha hart:
she literally did, I had to turn it off before things got out of hand.
I wonder what substances she was on :vanora_xd:

@shark:
it seems worse recently
so many angry fussy people over the most... nonsensical things.
This one was just that certain kind of crazy that I couldn't get frustrated over it. Just lmao

"They should not be allowed to sell this drink if they take away our spoons!! What am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to eat this?"
//lady gestures at a tall cup with a straw in it//
"THIS IS WRONG, in fact I think it should be illegal! Starbucks is stealing from us and at a time like this. It's thievery, it is literally thievery, and there has been so much stealing from us lately I'm sick of it!"


This was my first customer of today, at my job
she was 10000000% seriously mad
that starbucks didn't have spoons out
because they aren't individually wrapped
and covid
so she bought a box of spoons and let everyone in the store along the way know
that Starbucks is a thief

:vanora_xd:
I can't.

Oh yeah, she also had a fight with my counter because the belt kept moving when she'd place her items on it.
thespoonsaremeanttomovesoIcanreachthem

Lmao
It sounds like he just doesn't want to deal with it. Any time someone comes back repeatedly with excuses like that to sound dumb, I find that its just laziness..

I get it though, I hate going out to deal with things like that too xD
but if it don't get done you wont get the benefit of a working phone again~

Thanks everyone <33
It's getting exciting the closer I get!
Although school work is getting harder this week cause I dont sleep enough, and I ran out of caffeine |D

@kitalpha hart:
46 hours = 46 people to massage. Thinking of it that way, its a lot more than it seems :vanora_sweat: its been almost impossible to get anyone to show up for bodywork. Especially with schedules being really tight for myself and most people I know xAx

But somehow I managed to get a schedule going with some people, so its really thanks to them! And my tired fingers xd

Thanks for the kindness <3 I haven't spoken to my friend since I posted this, he stopped responding after a bit so probably became busy. He did say that he was given time out of work to get through the shock of it. So for that I'm glad, and I know he lives with a supportive family and everyone at work adores him too (cause he's a super sweet kid). So he'll be alright. Got a good support system!

I'll most likely see him tomorrow so I can check on him again. I don't doubt he'll be back to giggles by that point, our staff is full of tough cookies lol
