if yall ever want like serious advice from me about how to solve burnout as a creative it's like...
literally ignore it. stop pushing. go do something else, enjoy your life, fill it with other things, do what brings you joy in the moment if you can.
go to the gym, take a walk to touch grass and look at dogs and smell flowers, cook dinner, watch tv with your friends, talk about your feelings as needed with ppl you trust, take a drive and blast your music, do the chores you need to do, the job hunting slog you need to do, read books that aren't for research, stop cordoning off your brain for The Craft or The Draft or whatever the fuck
forget about the project, stop thinking about it for as long as it takes to be excited again.
fuckin rest, basically

Monthly Luigi Sketches Pt. 2 (AUG-JAN)
Here's the rest of the Luigi sketches I drew the 21st of each month. With the January one, I've finally completed a full year of sketching Luigi once per month. I think here is where the change of how I draw him is more noticeable 💚
As you can see, the one from August is not Movie!Luigi, since at that moment I was still deciding if all my sketches had to be of that version especifically, or if I could draw any version (me and my own silly rules, hehe 😅). At the end, since I had been practicing a more cartoony style, I chose to draw Luigi like that.
This was such a fun project (and to think it all started by the biggest of the coincidences three times in a row). I won't be continuing this for now, at least not until the next movie gets announced.
Thank you so much for all the love you gave to my 12 Luigis 😄💖 Now that you've seen them all, which one did you like the most? 👀
You can find Part 1 here.

One thing I've noticed as I've gotten further into the DPxDC fandom is that people don't believe me anymore when I tell them I don't consume DC media.
Like, I'll be like, "Oh I don't really know much about the DC universe" which is true! Most of my knowledge is from fandom osmosis and various wiki dives I've done for the sake of my own fanfic. Even then, my knowledge tends to be very batman specific because that's the niche that I've found myself just cozying on up into.
But then I'll be talking with one of my irl friends and they'll mention something about batman or one of the robins and I go off about the things I've learned (like according to the batman wiki APPARENTLY Duke might be immortal????? Like what the fuck????) and they'll go, "Wow you know a lot about Batman, huh?"
and I have to sit there being like, none of this knowledge is knowledge I gained legitimately. I was just trying to enjoy some fanfic of my comfort media from when I was a child and suddenly I found a Danny Phantom/Batman crossover fic and now I've written over 100K words for a fandom in which I've never consumed content and whose other half I have not watched since I was a literal child.
My friends are out here being like, "Wow, Eli, you must be a fan of DC!" and like, I can't just TELL them that I only can bring myself to enjoy DC media in this very specific context because the fandom itches a particular area of my brain that has not been scratched in a long time. Like, I'm not MAD that I've ended up in these predicaments, I'm just constantly living in a state of wondering when do I stop denying that I know a lot about Batman and accept that I've become a fan of Batman media in the least legitimate possible way.
IDK if this makes any sense, it's just a thought I had while I was working on my one shot for day 6 of DP/DC Week. Also like, it feels very weird to just throw my thoughts out into the void like this when I've only really interacted with other DP/DC crossover fans via my own fanfics and other ao3 comment sections so like please excuse my general awkwardness as I shout into the void that is tumblr.

King Magnifico is such a selectively bred villain. And poorly done at that. It's like they looked at every individual trait that could make a compelling character and smashed them together without considering how to properly make it work as a whole

Imagine if Escape from Tomorrow was actually good, being an exploration of disillusionment with childhood and the saccharine nostalgia Disney sells you instead of edgy schlock that goes "What if Disney but FUCKED UP AND EVIL? Like PRINCESSES ARE PROSTITUTES? And FRENCH TEENAGERS SEDUCE MARRIED MAN? Don't forget DISNEY CONTROL EVERYTHING AND EXPERIMENT ON PEOPLE OOOOOOO SUBVERSION OF YOUR CHILDHOOD"
