#it was my creative escape

[sophsun1]

what new shows did you try? and yes you do need to go back to gif making you make wonderful gifs

Hey anon!

That's sweet of you to say 😊

I think I've had a sensory overload from all the new shows I've watched recently and tbf the ones I tried watching today on any other given day maybe I'd completely love. But I kinda went on a journey of watching Russian Doll for two episodes and I did relate to Nadia's complete love for her cat Oatmeal and risking death each time to find him. Then I somehow ended up watching the entire first season of Galavant even though I'm not into musicals and yet I kept watching and then half an episode of Parcs and Rec before I gave up. I'm probably experiencing some sort of breakdown 🙃

Ah gifmaking *sighs wistfully*

I'm basically like a fic writer who's got the plot of a new fic completely plotted out in their mind but never put a word down. I've got hundreds of unmade gifsets bouncing around my brain from past and new shows. But a combination of needing a new laptop and having to spend the said funds on the cost of living, an estranged parent turning up and making me relive my childhood trauma and general life shittiness we all experience has put it on hold. But I'm hopeful I can save up soon to get a new one and gif my pain away.

Welcome to the third installment @stick-weaponry Where you can submit and we rate/review sticks and talk about sticks.

Why?…Yes!

Now for todays stick, we got the heaviest one yet!

This one is bent at a nice angle and have a nice smoothness on one end. When using this, it reminded me of a Scythe in action. However it can be a unique sword or lightsaber.

Only downside is the angle feel a bit far off, and the smoother end seemed a bit too long. But still good to use.

9/10 This one is a keeper!

Feel free to submit pics of sticks you find to rate and review!

Manic Street Preachers and My Chemical Romance on defying gender and sexuality norms

#shh i know they are very different bands but they four guys from working class towns who used books and movies and creativity to escape #who were downright bored with the lack of glamour on the scene and explored gender and sexuality #who had an insane belief in their art and never shunned the idea of being a huge band #i had sooo many parallels i want to make a part two lmao #also tried to include as many sources as possible but its hard with older stuff and this has a target audience of like .. one person #mcr #my chemical romance #manic street preachers #msp #f slur #ps if anyone has any tips on how people actually find photographer credits hmu like my google skills are not what i thought

two sides of the same coin

#kris #deltarune #my art #Linktoo art #yallllll its so crazy that kris' weapon is a sword in the dark world #while it's actually their pencil irl... #something about deltarune's themes about escapism through creative freedom & friendship #something about it being the pencil and NOT the fucking knife they carry around...

you sit in your bed, turning the pages of a book you've been trying to finish for the longest time. this used to come so easy to you- reading. in a matter of days you'd gobble up hundreds of pages and not feel tired in the slightest.

getting to the end of a single one feels like a chore now.

you miss the middle school you. not in its entirety, but in the bits where you were the most productive you had ever been, where you had been relatively unscarred and full of naive hope. where you could read like it's the only thing in the world you could possibly do.

sometimes you think if reading is best enjoyed when engaged in as a form of escapism? is that why every time an exam or an important work task rolls around, the books abandoned on your nightstand suddenly look absolutely enticing? is that what you've done all of your childhood? escape?

I did these for instagram and I thought i could post them here too! I feel that the OFF one is not good enough, but I didn't know what to do with the background, sorry to the fans.

At the beginning I wanted to make the characters with cuter, chibilike proportions, but at the end I just drew what I felt looked better without thinking. That's why the corrupted soul's head is slightly bigger.

see, the problem of being a non-native speaker is that, even if i know the language, i can't tell if something is wrong unless i really focus on catching my mistakes

for example, i had "writes IN ao3", instead of "writes ON ao3" on my blog for almost a YEAR, and i KNOW what the correct preposition is, it's just that it doesnt sound wrong to me unless i think about it

my whole YouTube feed is filled with videos about the Stanley cup/Sephora kid thing and maybe bc I haven’t used tiktok in months but I’m so lost as to why everybody, including the kids themselves is being blamed for this problem lmao.

#there’s only one enemy and that’s capitalism/consumerism #not to mention the parents who think being an ‘ipad kid’ is cute and quirky bc they don’t want to raise their kids beyond the baby stage #like why are you mad at an influencer who’s job it is to sell a product for not monitoring if ur children are watching #that beauty influencer is not selling to them or for them #they’re a business + brand marketing to other ppl their age #people who can actually afford the products #not somebody who barely has lunch money less known 3 bands to drop on drunk elephant #like I have so many young cousins/kids in my neighborhood who are being brought up this way + it’s the internet’s fault always #not the fact that their parents don’t do anything #and what gets me is that somebody like me who’s made content online like cosplay/anime or even writing fanfic #has to worry about censoring myself for some brat I’m not even thinking abt #and it hurts creatives who are just looking for an escape #when I’m reality the only problem is that these parents are lazy and expect some random youtuber to teach their kids the things they refuse #it takes a village yes but at the end of the day that responsibility lies on the person who birthed them #I’m sorry #cherry chats 🍒

I like how everyone just universally agreed that Denny's is an art major with dyed hair

#monolawg #was trying to make myself feel better recently by thinking about how #there's a very popular furry artist ive had several mutuals rave over #whose art i think is straight up Sexless. too smooth and boringly attractive #so its fine if i think my art is sexless bc others seem to like it #but its not workinggg....i hate it so much idk how ppl find anything i draw hot #its an anatomical drawing. like in a medical textbook. sexless in the other direction #feeling bad w comms rn. #also while im here im struggling bc i once saw advice that said not to focus on things you DONT LIKE wrt art #bc thats too negative. so instead of saying ''i dont want my art to look like x'' you say ''i want my art to look like y'' #and idk. nothing inspires me so intensely bc im not creative #so im just hung up on how i dont want it to look. with no solution or escape. just self hatred. alas... #i dont want it to look like this... #AND FINALLY #my theory as to why i hate my furry art is #ppl put out epic human art that inspires me daily #and i take and steal and frankenstein it into my own #but 95% of furries copy that one same style and theres less inspiration #so im going off of Nothing im jst going off Myself which i Hate.

you ok ?

I'm all good :)

Planning to officially start posting again on Monday, my internet was a bit wonky for a few days which made writing a no-go, and online midterms nightmarish, but I've got a few tumblr posts/ask answers lined up and my brain is feeling much happier.

The joys of spring break and sleeping. Highly recommend alongside late-night tea and picnics on the beach. (´◡`)

Everyone say hi to my new hunter Aloysha lmao ✨️ She's a mercenary currently under Ruza's employ (Aloysha sweet-talked her into it), or at least that was the case until the two of them got tangled up and separated in the paleblood hunt. Aloysha has a pretty great time there to be honest.

#sin scribbles #bloodborne oc ; aloysha #(this was a great refresher after that rank af artblock smh) #(and my friend has a crush on her so i felt obliged to make and post this 😂😂😂) #(ruza is like...the oc i take very seriously. and aloysha is my full feral self indulgent tendencies coming out LOL) #(if ur noticing a pattern with me enjoying women with fangs and shaves no u AINT 💅) #(i said i wanted a kin-scourge beast electro werewolf hunter and boy did i treat myself!!!!!!) #(personally i think i DESERVE to be silly 😤 ) #(unlike the genteel and quiet ruza aloysha is Jumbo Big Spicy.) #(WILL bite/electrocute u if no belly rubs are provided confirmed) #(maybe a less 'serious' addition but in the same breath 😂 she was so vital 4 me to escape creative block) #(im v grateful she helped me consolidate a lot of ideas LOL) #(my electro wolf queen!!!!)

i love writing so much dude

#shout out to four swords for like single-handedly helping me rediscover this passion #and to motivate me into finding a way to incorporate creative writing joyfully and healthily into my adult life #used to be an escape thing for me as a teenager and to a degree it still is #but at the same time it’s so different too

I promised my mother I'd send her Ties when I finished it, and I have not finished it but I find myself in need of an outside opinion, so I just sent it anyway, with a feeback request.

And now I get to sit and wait until she finishes it and sends me thoughts. Which is terrifying because I don't think she'll like it -- it's a bit too sentimental for her, I think -- and neither of my parents have ever been shy about sharing their blunt feedback about my writing. And while, 'I mean, it's not the greatest thing I've ever read but for a teenager/college student/amateur it's pretty solid!' may sound like a compliment to give, it does not feel like one to receive!

But I am fully incapable of letting on to either of my parents that I am in any way emotionally vulnerable, so when she said she wanted to read all my LMM fanfiction I could only agree, lol.

#thoughts from the fire escape #(i am no longer either a teenager or a college student #but the memory of having my 14-year-old opuses judged against The Entirety Of Literature and judged mid was... formative) #(although amusingly my dad was playing with chatgpt a while ago #because he's a teacher so he wanted to get a sense of it in case his students started trying to do chatgpt plagiarism #and his verdict was 'it's about as good at creative writing as you were at 13!' #which he thought was pretty decent #i remember what i was writing at 13 though and i am dubious that this is any kind of seal of quality)
