A little insight into my mind...
What's crazy is that I used this blog to escape some issues I had (the issues I was tripping about a few months ago). And it was also so I could learn to interact better online as well as improve my art skills. The only mistake I made was trying to ignore my issues. Escape is fine but you have to confront them. So when I finally confronted my issues, it really made me lose motivation due to the pent up stress I was holding in for nearly 10 years (over 20 with other things). So that's why I would have to go on hiatus often. I was ignoring my issues until they became too much. But its all dealt with now. Sad how some things had to end tho.
And now, I've been training my mind to enjoy what I used to again. Like drawing. And also training my mind to enjoy things I didn't before so I can do the things I'd rather hire someone else to do for me. Its kinda neat how we can rewire our minds after stress. Different ways to do it & the best methods are when another helps you.
I want to draw today, but Idk if I will. So I think I should just start making myself draw like its a work schedule. Otherwise nothing will get done. Motivation is great but so are healthy habits. Healthy habits contribute to motivation. And I'm honestly tired of sitting on 4 or 5 unfinished comics... 😅 maybe even 6 or 7. I kinda lost track and forgot. But with less stress, I should be able to focus more and finish projects. That stress was really messing me up mentally and physically. I used to take medicine for my migraines, then I started feeling better when I got rid of some stress (be careful with getting off of medicine tho cause its different for everyone and you may need a doctor to help you so your health is okay). Then I wore shades all the time to stop my migraines, and I don't need those anymore either after I got rid of more stressful things in my life. I had a whole change in a year to where my health greatly improved once I let go of more and more stress. I sleep better too & my mood has become much more joyful.
That's it. Just felt like talkin

I think the reason why Naruto fans get so passionate and upset about the series is because of how real it can be. Naruto isn’t about paragon heroes outdoing dastardly villains. It’s about human beings fighting tooth and nail to survive in a world surrounded by death. It’s about broken systems made and perpetuated by broken people.
The Hyuga clan isn’t just antagonistic or pretentious, they practice slavery.
The Uchiha clan weren’t just killed by some raging psychopath, they were systematically massacred.
Itachi isn’t just cruel to Sasuke because he’s a bad brother, he’s cruel because he’d been told time and time again that you can only survive by being cruel and he wants nothing more than for Sasuke to survive.
Nagato isn’t trying to take over the world just for the sake of power, he’s trying to take over the world because it beat him down to the point of believing that the only chance at peace there is is the world being forced into compliance through fear.
Iruka isn’t hard on Naruto just because he’s a strict teacher, he’s hard on Naruto because he knows from experience how unforgiving the world is towards orphans.
Kakashi isn’t just some silly and slightly lazy teacher, he’s a contract killer still grieving his loved ones and struggling to do better without knowing how he’s supposed to.
Sakura isn’t just a fangirl, she’s a normal girl in a very dangerous and abnormal world constantly being made to choose between what she’s supposed to do and what she feels.
Sasuke isn’t just some edgelord, he’s a survivor who lost everything then gets repeatedly told that he has to choose between keeping what he’s gained and doing better than his brother.
Naruto isn’t just trying to be the best Hokage there ever was, he’s trying to prove his worth to a society that abandoned him just for existing and, in a way, confirm his worth to himself.
The Naruto story is about humans trying to force themselves into the role of weapons because that’s what they were told they had to be. It’s a story where everyone is a perpetrator but no one is trying to do wrong. It’s a story where everyone is a victim but no one is a perfect victim.
The world and the characters aren’t simple and trying to simplify them only takes away from them. So of course we get passionate about showing off all the reasons why they shouldn’t be simplified and all of the ways they’re complicated. Of course we get upset when we see others simplifying them or selling certain aspects of their characters short. Of course we get upset when the series itself simplifies them. Of course we get upset when the series chooses to abandon them. Because it not only feels like the characters are giving up, it feels like the series is betraying anyone who chose to get invested in its complexities.

Good morning sweetheart! How did you sleep? You sounded so pretty all night with your puppy cunt nice and stuffed. I'm surprised the battery lasted long enough for you to fall asleep. Did you make a mess all night baby? You made so many cute noises and I could feel the bed shake when your hips bucked. Come here puppy, let me feel how wet you are. Maybe I can have breakfast in bed and you can be rewarded for how long you've edged💕

GLaDOS's insults are interesting. Because they're so clearly prejudiced, right? She's making fun of Chell for being fat and adopted. These are scummy things to make fun of someone for, and things that would realistically be punching bags for prejudiced people interacting with this character.
But I don't think GLaDOS actually holds the sentiments she's expressing. Rather, they're a means to an end.
I get this mostly from her lines in co-op on the subject:
"Did you know humans frown on weight variances? If you want to upset a human, just say their weight variance is above or below the norm."
She calls Chell fat not because she thinks she's fat or that she personally finds anything wrong with weight variances, but because she knows calling humans fat makes them feel bad, and she's bitter about being killed and wants to make Chell feel bad.
Same goes with her being adopted. As soon as it doesn't emotionally or pragmatically benefit GLaDOS to make fun of Chell for being fat or adopted, she actively refutes Wheatley's attempt at bullying her for these things:
"And...? What, exactly, is wrong with being adopted?" "Also: Look at her, you moron. She's not fat."
She walks back her previous derogatory assertions as if they don't mean anything to her, because they don't. She never believed them in the first place.
She treats Rattmann's schizophrenia much the same way. She uses it to try and manipulate him, to make him doubt himself enough to come out of hiding where she can kill him, the same way she tries to make Chell doubt herself and turn back when she's escaping the facility back in Portal 1. The ableism she expresses is not a genuinely held belief, but a means to an end that she has no qualms about using.
Whether that makes it better or worse, I have no idea! I'd say worse on account of the intention to cause doubt or hurt to the target. But it's a very unique combination of values, isn't it? You're much more used to seeing the inverse: people being insulting, with no actual malicious intent, as a result of unchecked biases. Like, for instance, friendly little Wheatley unintentionally being super condescending about Chell's brain damage and muteness.

The desire to step out of my human form as some grotesque eldritch nightmare and scuttle away into the darkness is strong tonight 😮💨

can i just say that im honestly Loving the contrast and parallels between qbad and qtubbo’s deaths and resurrections like. its tubbo’s “you cant change the past” came back wrong vs bad’s “sometimes the only way to fix things is to start over” came back better. its tubbo’s “sometimes things will happen suddenly and theyll be out of your control and you have to accept it” vs bad’s “things can be a long time coming and you still cant stop them. hold on too tightly and you’ll stop yourself from healing” . Its creation vs rebirth . augh

the tiny, inside the walls, hyping themself up: It’s totally fine. Everything I’ve seen from this human shows that they’re kind, level headed, and normal. There’s utterly nothing wrong with this human, and I can totally befriend them! I shouldn’t be scared at all!
the tiny: *peeks out hole in the bathroom wall, looking up at the giant before them*
the giant, in front of the bathroom sink, obliviously doing their nightly routine: *removes their dentures*
the tiny, has no concept of what dentures are, who just saw this behemoth remove all the bones and flesh from its own mouth in one swift pull, without a flinch of pain: what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck
