#I'm usually very patient

[motherhenna]

So today was my first day teaching an after school elective theater class (10+ 2nd 3rd 4th grade girls) and holy shit y'all I have even more respect for teachers now than ever before because that was BRUTAL lmao it was like they could smell my fear and knew they could trample all over me. Maybe my viewpoint is skewed, seeing as I was a really meek, easygoing kid at that age, but I can't fathom just...blatantly ignoring the teacher when they tell you not to do something. I get theater is a bit more loosey goosey but damn I can't imagine treating any of my past theater teachers (or any adult for that matter) with such disregard. Hoping that they were just crazy because it was their first day back at school after summer break and they'll mellow out a tiny bit by next week.

There were two super sweet and responsible 4th graders that I'm probably going to have to lean on to get through to some of their classmates. Like appoint them "team leaders" or whatever.

Either way, no more Ms. Pushover next Wednesday--Miss Helen is gonna lay down the fucking LAW lol I'm going to print out a set of class rules and expectations and have the kids repeat them back to me, and I may invest in a fucking whistle to cut through how loud they can get. If any of y'all have a background in teaching or otherwise dealing with large groups of children, feel free to drop any tips or suggestions you might have to get a handle on a rowdy crowd of munchkins and gremlins without yelling or being overly strict.

#I lose almost all patience as soon as I can tell a child is fucking with me lol #like if they're genuinely confused or anxious #I'm usually very patient #but man there were a couple kids who are the physical embodiment of the worst traits of adhd #speaking as someone who has it #but not the physical part #I've never been physically hyper or restless #it's just my brain going at 100 miles an hour all the time #but cant relate to the whole bouncing off the walls thing #also that school has an insane amount of floors and the theater is in the basement level 5 floors down from the entrance #and since the elevator was in use I had to lead those kids up the most insane amount of stairs I've ever encountered #truly humbled me because I was not prepared to drag my entire 200+ lb fat ass up five stories #first time my legs have ever felt so close to just giving out entirely #and now I have exercise induced asthma which will go away in a couple hours but OOF #I literally whistle like wind through a car window when I breath rn] #euthanize me #put me down like old yeller #personal

T'Pel gets a pet while Tuvok's in the delta quadrant to help deal with his loss and after he gets back there's a mutual big show of not liking one another but after like a month she's his little buddy.

#Tuvok #T'Pel #bea art tag #st voyager #Ek'zer Bezhun look like birds but they have no wings and cannot fly. They're incredibly fast clever and patient and usually lie in wait #before chasing down their prey in a sprint (not long distance runners). Common pets on Vulcan for households that can't devote space to #a sehlat. Ek'zer Bezhun are very playful and need plenty of attention/mental stimulation! #Pi'kahm-kam is a rescue from a shelter. Plucked her feathers out poor thing...follows T'Pel around all the time wanting to be held. #Skittish around new people. Will bite!! But never T'Pel. #She was very good for T'Pel bc it gave her something to focus on and a reason to like...do things everyday when she was depressed about #Tuvok's disappearance. Dotes on Pi'kahm <3 #When Tuvok grumbles about the attention she gives Pi'kahm T'Pel's like 'hmm...jealous?? Bc you aren't being doted on??' #And Tuvok ha tesitHEHEHE he's like I' m not JEALOUS...of a LIZARD. I'm not jealous at all I'm VULCAN!! #Then he makes an effort to actually bond with Pi'kahm...that'll show T'Pel v_v #and that's how Tuvok & Pi'kahm become buds~! But she still likes T'Pel the most <3 but that's ok...Tuvok does too. #Tuvok is playing the lute 'for Pi-kahm' but as soon they hear T'Pel's footsteps they both turn towards the door. #T'Pel's here??? T'Pel's here!!!! #st voyager fanart

Hello! I have been watching your drawings for a long time, and I really like your work!

Can you draw Fancy tickles Stickler?^^

Cuphead

Thank you I really appreciate that!

I don't usually do requests, but I'll take any opportunity I can to draw FancyxStickler! (featuring their daughter Audri!)

Sometimes they have to really distract him to get the man to take a break, even after "work hours" 🤭

Reblogs are appreciated please don't repost

#My art #Mox's art #Mox answers #Fancy bow Imp #Stickler #Fancy x stickler #fancystickler #Cuphead OC #Stickler fankid #Just some family fluff for ya #Stickler doesn't take care of himself well so his family helps him out with that #IDK man this poor overworked demon needs love #ALSO as a side note; #this request was sent to me about 3 times in one week #please PLEASE don't do that. I don't usually do requests and I'm also a very busy person so spamming me with requests is overwhelming #and odds are i won't do them at all if you bug me about them like that #If I don't respond right away I could have chosen not to do it or I could be busy with C0mmissions or doing other personal work or #i could be working on it even #so please be patient and understand I'm not a drawing machine #I work a 40+ hour job take commissions and work on a comic #Thank you! I appreciate that you like my work but jst be mindful in the future! #Lots of love!

do you think there's some sort of intense isolation in being one of few kind variants of a mean character. and vice versa. bc i do

#xero says things #i am thinking about the very loose parallels between solar and lunara :( #i am thinking about the horrific fact that they are not only seen as 'other' by people in their own worlds #but by tons and tons of other universes #the bone-deep feeling of being /wrong/ is only made worse because—on a multiversal scale—they /are/ wrong #eclipses are usually bitter and cruel #lunars are usually patient and caring #so what are they supposed to do when they don't fit that bill? #how are they supposed to grapple with the fact that there are cosmically /wrong/ #sorry idk if this makes any sense. its 3 am and i'm mildly distraught abt this idea LOL #tsams #sams

hi! we don't share any fandoms (to my knowledge) but i just want you to know that your 'lise's aggressively bitchy opinions about irrelevant and unimportant matters' tag is EVERYTHING. so many things i've thought about fandom (and characterization, and the annoying things ppl in fandom say and do, fandom trends, etc), you've written so eloquently and understandably, and as someone who has had bad (and good! but loudly bad) experiences with fandom, it's nice to read your thoughts. thank you for sharing <3

man I do appreciate this. I mean I do consistent and thorough tagging for that one because I know not everyone wants to see me bitching about petty shit (which is most of what I bitch about on here) on their dash, but like. it's nice to know that my ventposting is helpful/resonant to some people. makes me feel better about spitting my bile onto the internet.

*slaps own head* this blogger can fit soooo much petty irritation in her

#conversating #anonymous #i would describe myself as easily annoyed #i am not the most patient of human beings generally speaking #but at least i can usually recognize when the thing i'm annoyed about is not objectively very important

[tvrningout]

if i'm honest, i'm having a bout of " am i being annoying? " so i might just see myself out till tomorrow. i hate to do that bc i really wanna get my drafts queued, but i also don't think it's good for me to force myself to do something if i'm feeling off. maybe i'll surprise myself and come back and write? but i'm not gonna stress about it too much -- or at least try not to :' )

please take care of yourselves and remember it's alright to take a break when you need one <3 in general ofc, but especially on this silly lil website bc this is a hobby -- not a job!!

#gotta remind myself constantly that most people are very kind and patient and so i should be that way to myself too #and truly no one's done anything!! to make me feel annoying!! it's just me questioning myself bc i tend to impulsively post memes #and get fixated on certain topics/ideas/etc. #and then i do take ages to write #so i worry and tonight's one of those days where i feel self conscious that maybe i'm doing too much #i do feel silly that i'm feeling down but i also just kinda don't wanna be here bc i've made myself uncomfortable #so maybe it's best that i head out and relax and focus on other things for a little bit #this is a rambling mess of tags asdfg but please have a good night for me friends <3 i'll be back tomorrow goofing off as usual <3 #get ready to ramble | ooc #tw negative

[tvrningout-a]

so a lil quick psa is in order, i feel. starting off, this might be a little tmi? but plainly speaking, my hormones sometimes make my time of the month very challenging emotionally and mentally. i haven't experienced this in quite a while, and i wish i knew what changed or if it's just a random thing i have no control over, but i have no idea sadly! all i know is that i become very prone to bad mood drops and sensitivity, so if i'm extra quiet or inactive, i apologize; i'm just trying to handle myself gently and avoid making this all worse.

with all of that said, thank you for being patient with me <3 it really does mean a lot that y'all put up with my snail-like pace!

#i hope this isn't too much to be talking about?? but i'm 90% sure this is why i've felt so off #and when i'm like this it's very easy to spiral into negativity and i really want to avoid that #which is why my activity might be more sporadic than usual #if i can't feel at ease being online then i shouldn't be here for my own good #so i'll be careful and i might try doing a lot of my writing offline? we'll see how things go #but really and truly thank you for being patient with me <3 and pls take care of yourselves!!! #get ready to ramble | ooc

Song of the Day: February 10

“Blues Run the Game” by Jackson C Frank

#song of the day #this song was mentioned in a fic I read today #('Hounds' by Xx_vergil_xX #fic rec #a Sandman fic so big and full of thoughts that I'm still digesting it. incredibly good work) #and I started the song playing in a little tester side tab as I usually do when I come across a new song mention #and as soon as it started up I was catapulted back a decade or more to night shift walking around the music building on campus #listening to someone in a distant room in the dark should-be-locked-and-empty building playing the song on loop #patiently picking their way through accompanying it on piano #very very fitting #'wherever I have gone--wherever I've been and gone--wherever I have gone / the blues are all the same'

#being a hermit is ever more attractive like every day honestly #listen. In theory I would love to be Informed and Involved in Discourse but in reality there are several problems #the first of which is me. I'm neither patient nor self aware enough especially recently #the second is other people and again its also maybe a me problem but I Do Not Wish to engage with angry people who can't have a discussion #rather than a full on fight. #then there's the problem of having opinions in general. I care very deeply about a (relative) few things and outside of that #I don't care strongly enough to come to an informed opinion. And sometimes this is Bad. #as someone who usually enjoys looking at a topic with other people who see it differently and forming an opinion and all that #I'm just very weary of discourse. #not just on tumblr or even mostly here. It's in my real life and somewhat unavoidable. But I think getting more comfortable with saying #“I don't have an opinion on that subject but I'm interested in your perspective anyway” #would be good. #that or leaving civilization forever.

hey. hey universe. hey fucker universe.

no one said you could bring back the Wednesday Curse, bitch. fuck off with this shit i didn't need any of this first thing today.

#the Wednesday Curse is related to a span of about... almost 10 years of every single wednesday having something major go wrong #''major'' is a strong word but it would always feel big and afterwards would be when i would notice it was wednesday #it was a lot and i got very tired of it very quickly but it eventually stopped and i stopped noticing wednesdays #because they stopped being bad every single week #i would wake up on a wednesday bracing for whatever terrible news i would learn or whatever horrible thing would happen inevitably #and i stopped having to do that #my dreams lately have been absolutely horrific and last nights/this mornings was.... worse than usual in a way i wasn't anticipating that's #made me very very worried about a dear friend i can't easily reach out to and i'm doing my best at waiting patiently for a response #but it's hard and then the tire on the car exploded *again* so we're scrambling to figure out how to fix that and we've got a plan #and at least 3 butches on the job and it's going to be okay in the end but i have extreme car anxiety and tires going out is one of the mai #triggers for that and i'm just #i'm also still dealing with the tail end (hopefully) of an upper respiratory infection which makes all the crying i keep doing difficult #because i keep needing to hack my lungs out because breathing sucks rn even though i've had all my meds for it #and i'm just... it's just... anyway #i'm having a rough morning #but i am surrounded by people who are very lovely and care a lot and are willing and able to help with whatever they can #and that's helped a lot and it's just... i know i gotta wait patiently for resolution on things and i'm gonna do my best #to calm myself down and try to be less anxious but i'm only able to do that because of the love that surrounds me and it's a lot #it's all a lot and idk man #the spectre of my dad is doing his best to ruin it but he doesn't exist here in this space it's just a bad memory and no one is at fault

Say I’m quite curious, if you’re commissioning an artist, how long are you willing to wait before asking them for an update (assuming it was one or two characters without background)?

#I'm usually very precise when it comes to commissions so I try to make it up by being patient #one time I waited for two months after the lineart was finished to see it fully colored #but before I message them I try to stalk their account to see if something is going on in their personal life #if so I would probably wait a couple weeks before DMing them #what about ya'll?

[watchmenanon]

mlvns are preaching on the byler tag about us properly tagging our stuff with the anti mileven tag but they are the first ones to come and comment on posts that are properly tagged with the intention of gaslighting and bothering us.

#i don't go to their posts and bother them #so why are they coming to my posts to bother me? #i'm usually very polite and patient but i don't guarantee that i'd respond with politeness and patience if they come to my blog #to try to gaslight me and bother me #byler #anti mileven

#spent most of today's shift sitting because i was with one of the 1.1s but i'm still exhausted imagine #the patient is on the smaller side #so we don't necessarily need the sliding sheet to move her #she's technically a few years younger than me but because of her intellectual disability her perception of the world is more childlike #but sis can put up a fight 😭😭 #she kept swinging at me because i wouldn't let her chew her fingers or bite her tambourine #or pull out her feeding tube #and i was like girl i'm doing this to protect u #she can be such a sweetheart usually but was very fighty today #she pulled my locs as well :/ #and the other HCA was laughing while she did it alll like omg she's so cute #and i was like girl she's literally yanking my hair rn this isn't cute of funny to me like help pull her hand off my hair or something #they got her a new spine brace tho and she's been using her chair more #which is good because it means she'll be able to go outside soon #not necessarily for long periods but still good #she'll love it

It's always the worst when you finally have some energy to spare and got the creativity flowing so you want to be productive and the internet stays out for over 24 hours. 🥲 Thankfully it has returned now (fingers crossed it stays that way). Hopefully I can dig some of that ambition back out to try and get things done this weekend. But I hope you've all been doing well. 💙

#; OOC || Bri ♟️ #//I wanted to work on some Sh///////uake week stuff (it's halfway over already and I'm very late as usual haaaaa) #//but it was just a frustrating and tiring yesterday so I got nothing done instead!!! Very much on brand for me. 🙃 #//This entire month has just been super overwhelming and draining and I'd really like August to be better. #//(Please universe I beg of you let me have this.) #//Hopefully things will calm down so I stop feeling like a husk because I miss writing and talking and gaming and all the things. ;3; #//Either way thanks for always being super patient with me. I'm gonna try to slowly get back into the swing of things. 💙
