If you're lamenting the fact that you used to be able to shoot through a 500-page novel in like a day when you were in middle school and now you can't, it's worth bearing in mind that a big part of that is because when you were in middle school, your reading comprehension sucked. Yes, mental health and the stresses of adult life can definitely be factors, but it's also the case that reading is typically more effortful as an adult because you've learned to Ponder The Implications. The material isn't just skimming over the surface of your brain anymore, and some of the spoons you used to spend on maximising your daily page count are now spent on actually thinking about what you're reading!
You know when people add a lot of tags for no reason? That obviously have NOTHING TO DO with the post?
Wherever you see this, wherever it finds you. It has found you. No one is safe.
Have a nice 24 hours.
haven't painted a mini in a hot minute so I decided to pick one up while I was at the shop and get back into it
meet Terry, the Brave, my new giant crocodile
~6-ish hours from starting base coat to setting him down, plus overnight to dry the silly pike I glued to the rocks
overall very fun to make, I experimented with some translucent swamp water I created for the clear base and it came out??? okay, but I have notes for the future
cannot wait to make a terrain around this big boye, and I'm 100% going to buy him a friend soon
the whole likes/reblogs shit has some like, I Get It We're Trying To Get More Eyes On Our Stuff All The Time nuance to it, but attributing malice or laziness or 'YOU DONT CARE ABOUT ME, YOU HATE ME' to people who only hit like on the work you make is the number one way to make your brain start screaming in pitches only known to black holes and never stop. Don't do it. That is a short slope to hell and brain gremlins the likes of which you have never seen before. Dont assign a Moral Value to likes or assume that you know or understand why people choose to reblog or like (or don't).
