#hobby resolution

[shaslajoel]

2023's painting output, 137 models in total. Slightly down from last year's 162, but last year I didn't paint an entire kill team board so I'm not gonna be too hard in myself. Didn't quite follow the hobby resolution plan either, got a bit distracted.

Hey guys, just to let you know i'm still alive, much to collective disappointment. Alive indeed, but that what cost - entirely exhausted and drained as you can see by poor output

I've been working on some irl improvement and it's taking everything from me. But fret not traveler, for that can't stop me for too long or rather as soon as i figure out the next life hack. You already know how it goes, i'm absolutely not going anywhere long term and we're stuck on this ship together probably forever by my estimation So, how have you been my fellow mutuals?

#wadanohara and the great blue sea #watgbs #doodle #syakesan #sal watgbs #sal wadanohara #fukami #every time i open my 3 interchangeable software with this i find new moment that irks me so i gave up #idk my mind is not in the right track right now #easily distracted by any small irl change #regardless im not backing down from my 2024 resolution to focus and study more for my hobbies #i mean profession too but that one was a given way back #i dont even know what i wanna subtract or add anymore #i changed style 3 times now

Remembering the toxic hellscape that was 2015-2019ish SU fandom and just how much hate the show got is really insane when you rewatch the show after it's been a while. Like the show is good what the hell were any of these people talking about

#do NOT quote me on those numbers i pulled them straight out of my ass #like the ending was rushed and the diamonds didnt get to be fully developed but liek #the whole reason that was the case is there was an entire 6th season planned #and then the show got axed early because rebecca sugar and crew refused the back down on the rupphire wedding. #and even rushedness aside like the point of the show was never that you should hug fascists and forgive people no matter what #the diamond were rose's (and his) dysfunctional family whose personal suffering became the basis for the cruelty of gem society #bismuth in The Real World would have been right to want to kill the diamonds as a force of revolution #but the point of the show is that even the most complicated people are still people who can change. even if you dont forgive them #even steven quartz universe the most loving boy in the world very obviously does not like being around the diamonds. but that is how it is #it was a children's show that emphasized compassion and communication and family as themes. of course steven didnt kill the diamonds lol #i really fully believe the stevenbomb format (which was not the crew's choice or fault) cooked peoples' brains #you had months between major arcs so every wrongdoing by a character had months to be warped and misinterpreted and so no resolution could #ever satisfy fans who were festering with their own opinions for way too long #like these arcs looking back are not that long and they resolve in fairly reasonable manners but they took fuckin forever in real time to #wrap up #and ppl on the internet with no other hobbies than arguing made the fandom suck to be in and gave su a bad name #even if you dont like steven universe i think the amount of vitriol thrown at the show is/was fucking INSANE for what it is lmaooo #people were so so jolly to accuse rebecca sugar (a jewish lady) of being a fascist/fash sympathizer and paint every writing shortcoming or #morally dubious character action as a sign of pure fuckin evil #ok that was a long ass fuckin rant in the tags i am so sorry i'm just kind of opinionated on this matter as i am all matters #i've been rewatching su with my dad lately and this very normal and well paced and fun watchthrough experience has been illuminating #just how insane and uncalled for the hellish discourse sphere around su was/is #i say was/is i have no idea what su discourse is like nowadays. i'm too scareds to look in the su crit tag

I haven’t touched my sketchbook wips in over two weeks. I can feel my hands shake. My mouth is dry, and I’m sweating. I don’t know how much longer I can live like this.

#that whole being hospitalized thing really messed with my study schedule #which subsequently messed with my hobby time schedule #to make matters worse I promised myself I’d focus more on college this year #Im not sure how long I’ll last #the resolution will because Im a stubborn bastard. but I’m going insane #not hilda #wife speaks

[fluent-in-lesbianism]

Hi! How was your day today? :)

I'm on call this weekend, plus my period started. I usually take a bunch of medicine to forcibly put myself into hibernation mode until it ends, but I can't bc *waves hands* I'm on call :\

#Anonymous #so long story short: i'm miserablé #but to find one positive thing to happen #i'm learning how to crochet #i've moved past knitting #knitting's fun but the long ass needles were not it for me #my tiny hands couldn't handle them. they were a burden #but also what else should i teach myself to do? #leave a comment or send me a message of some hobbies i need to teach myself #learning new things in my free time was one of my resolutions #alongside 1) be gayer and 2) drink more water #...guess which one i've chosen to ignore 👀😂

After 2 1/2 months, I'm finally done! I'm sorry, Mr. Redacted, but merch is expensive, and thread is cheap. I also like being able to control how subtle a reference I'm making, and some of your merch doesn't fit that vibe. This is about 3 in x 4.5 in across, centered over the left breast of a jacket I've decorated previously.

[Photo ID: cross stitch image of a constellation, the letter "Epsilon" underneath one of the stars, and a large needle & thread symbol /end ID]

(pleaee ignore the fluff. I don't have a lint roller)

I don't blame you if you don't immediately get the reference; constellations can be hard to identify. This one in particular is Carina, and the focus is on a particular star that makes up the constellation, Epsilon Carinae (that's the one above the fancy E)

[Photo ID: image of the constellation Carina matching the first image, with the names of the stars labeled /end ID]

The common name for that particular star, however, ought to be familiar (and not exactly surprising).

It's named Avior.

#i was thinking my thoughts and came up with this #redacted asmr #redacted avior #you would not believe how much blood and tears this took #or maybe you would. cross stitch and embroidery is a vicious hobby #it'll be a minute before I'm willing to take on another project like this #but i might not be opposed to showing the process of how i make my own patterns at some point #im sorry I messed up the spacing for Canopus too #but if I kept the actual resolution and dimensions #that star would literally be in my armpit. I'm calling it “creative license”

[bluejaywriter]

Anyway, I've been sitting on "The Five Times Queen Hippolyta Had Her Heart Broken (and the one time she didn't)" for about 2.5 years and 2024 seems like as good time as any to finally release it!

#Fanfiction #Hippolyta #Starting off the new year with some angst #fun fact: I started writing this in July 2021 #the word count is not reflective of the amount of time that has passed :P #Anyway my 2024 resolution is to focus less on work and more on hobbies so here's a thing #Also that says “monthly updates beginning 1/2/24” #my goal is to post the last chapter on 6/2 aka WW17's anniversary 😊

[badgal-noriri]

I already read 10 books this year 🫣

#that’s so crazy to me #lmao #last year I decided I wanted to read for fun #my New Year’s resolution was to read 12 books #I did exactly that #no more no less #and this year I’m clearly taking it up a notch?? #how exciting to have a new hobby #personal

[achubbydumpling]

hi y'all I'm back, am I back? maybe? idk how many people will read this but I want to get back into posting on this blog because I love this community so much and all the lovely people and I always feel so at home here and, uhh, yeah I guess I'll see you around :D

#working and studding full time is stressful #who would have thought #but other people do that too #and I enjoy posting on tumblr #and writing #I guess I'll make this my new year's resolution #get back into creating as a hobby #I've literally just been working/studying > watch some youtube at home > sleep > repeat #and time passes very quickly when you don't pay attention 😅 #rambles

[vermillioncrown]

i've seen a post about this before but it's not as common as those "i'm a creative that can't create rn" or "take rests so you don't burn out"

it's all true, but i think another one is...don't define yourself by one thing. you're not just what you do, and you don't just do one hobby. when people cling to a single facet of themselves for their identity, when that bit needs to rest for a bit, it's easy to fall into a feedback loop that continues to burn you out.

"i should be creating" -> "i can't create" -> "i'm a failure of a creative" -> so on and so forth

gotta go do other things for a bit, and for their own sake.

=

that being said, this is me telling myself i need to go do other things besides fanfic for a bit

#redglyphs #writing #i won't leave ppl hanging for the tim resolution but the following chs will be whenever #just don't feel like it. which sucks for everyone not in my brain bc all the stuff i have written is not ready for posting #between end of march til now i've prob written over 70k words? in which academic writing is a good 20% of that (dense too) #so i need to go percolate and chill. play video games. menace underclassmen. lift. actually experiment + defend my thesis lmao #any hobby in excess can be maladaptive and an addiction. escapism. #roz calls it 'percolating' and i absorbed it. gotta go percolate

[peachcitt]

normally i never make resolutions because im of the opinion that you can change your life whenever you want and technically speaking any day of the year can be the start of a new year. that being said. my past year was kind of garbage.

so! i have decided to be more keen on new years resolutions, especially making ones that will hopefully make me feel better if something i can't control affects me negatively. i actually made a huge list of resolutions, more than i put here, that all kind of boil down to trying out ways to make my life more comfortable and fulfilling for myself and the people around me.

happy new year everybody i hope this year treats us all kindly :)

#new year's resolutions #new year's resolutions 2023 #my art #peach stuff #also i know it's a scientific fact that if you write your goals down you're more likely to achieve them #have i ever written my goals down if i wasn't forced to before? no. and maybe that's why ive been so shit at reaching my goals<3 #also about the goal that's about finding a hobby that uses my hands: ive realized recently that both of my main hobbies #(reading and writing) are both very brain-heavy things to do. like those are both two things that require a lot Being Inside My Head #and you know! maybe ive realized that it's Not Good to be in my head so much! #so i want to find a more tactile hobby that won't require so much brain time and can connect me more with the physical world #also i drew this all in ms paint with my new laptop and laptop pen and maybe i just don't understand ms paint enough #but this was kind of a bitch to draw. where is the layer function. why was my laptop screen still registering my skin when i was using pen #but still i like how it looks. especially the peach and my hair. the peach just because it looks cute and peach-like #and i think this is the first time ive drawn/colored my hair since i died it this past summer so it was fun to experiment with #how to make it accurate but still cohesive with the colors i already had down #my hair is actually variations on an auburn sort of shade since its faded from a really shitty (self-done) red dye job #but the pink here is fun :) #anyway. that's all

21, 69, and 73 for the ask game. thank you for your time.

omg so formal. You are most certainly welcome, anon.

21. Who’s the optimist and who’s the pessimist?

Kyle’s deliberately optimistic. He’s naturally inclined to see the worst in people and situations, but because of his strong will and moral values, he fights against it and chooses to find what’s good and nurture it, in the hopes of inspiring better things.

Cartman… hm.. Cartman’s perception of the world is warped, no matter where he is on his own crooked scale of “health”. So… He’s optimistic if things are going his way and he’s getting what he wants. If not, he’s pessimistic. That's not exactly how it works, but that’s how Cartman works.

69. Who’s the most likely to hurt the other’s feelings unintentionally?

Cartman, and it’s mostly from him saying something completely out of pocket (see: bigoted as shit) or hyperbolic.

73. Whose hobbies/interests change every 2-5 business days?

Cartman’s doesn’t change every 2-5 business days, but to Kyle, it seems that way. In reality, Cartman cycles between things he’s already mastered (and if he hasn’t mastered it, he will in 2-5 business days) usually in accordance w/ whatever shit he’s cookin up that week. Kyle walks in one morning to find Cartman felting, of all things, and Cartman tells him he’s been doin it since he was seven. Whether he’s fucking w/ him and makin a wiseass comment doesn’t concern Kyle, it’s what Cartman felting has to do with the body he and Butters dragged in the night before.

#south park #kyman #asks #the way lil ficlets pop in my mind every time a kyman situation arises #wtf does felt have to do with some body? damn I wanna find out now #schemes aside ​ I also love the idea of Kyle indulging in Cartman’s hobby with him #read a moot’s ideas of how Kyle and Cartman process things and can unite to create cool shit inspired me #so like Cartman one month is rly into his music writing and Kyle doesn't know jack shit abt the creativity aspect but he picks #up on music theory quick #so Cartman’s in a slump and Kyle makes an offhand suggestion to freshen up the melody with incidentals or maybe not bring a phrase to #resolution and instead leave it hanging so that the next bar on the BIG chord has a greater impact #and suddenly Cartman’s tackling him and kissing him silly even tho Kyle doesn't feel like he did THAT much #Cartman’s spewing so many thank-you’s and looking at him like he’s the entire world so. Kyle ain't gonna question it

[bluestockingbaby]

Thinking this morning about how much time I spent as a kid on things I didn’t like and how important they probably seemed to other people on the outside, when I wasn’t engaging with them much on the inside— and how I was expected to be grateful for those things that my parents picked out for me. Some of the skills are valuable, sure, and I’ll take those with me, but others I didn’t connect with and never will. And it’s not like I didn’t ask to explore other things, I just never got to do them. I love having the freedom to try new things now, but the idea of having to ask permission for any of it, or try really hard at something I don’t want to do anymore is galling. I also wonder if I was really good at throwing myself so hard at things that it seemed like I loved them, or if people just weren’t paying attention. I talk about how much I love my life now on my own and I wonder if my parents could recognize how miserable I used to be. Maybe that’s not fair to ask of them when I was trying so hard not to be miserable.

#the harder thing to admit and discern is how much of this also isn’t just about hobbies #also religion #but honestly idk if I can unpack that right now #this is so weird #a lot of this thinking is a very natural trajectory for me #but it’s like a switch suddenly flipped when I turned 25 and now I’m making more personal posts and diving more deeply into who I am #and it’s not like I made that into a resolution or anything #idk I have to keep moving forward today #my posts
