#which in general has been the energy

[squeakadeeks]

very funny that one of my neighbors who lets his cats out frequently on a person-to-person basis doesnt seem to like me all that much, but his cats adore me and always flock to my apartment and let me pet them etc.

get fucked.

#like just today coming back both of his cats were at my door and he was standing there with them #so i smiled and waved and he just turned around and left #which in general has been the energy #haters will see me and be jealous of my ability to bond with animals #some of this is im sure its awkwardness #but he also 1000% has judgemental cali dude energy #and as someone who does not naturally click with judgemental cali energies im sure he just has no interest in interacting #despite his cats having a VERY HIGH interest

I'm honestly surprised I had something for every month, this year has been a Lot. Thank you to everyone who supported me with commissions, likes, reblogs and feral tags! ily 💜

#2023 summary of art #i mostly used personal art since i only did comms for half the year and the overall style/quality of everything varied so much #this year has been weird #i wasn't always proud of what i made? but i didn't have the energy to make it better #which doesn't make it bad! i did see improvement in places so i'm happy i managed to draw as much as i did #i want to make some more challenging art next year so we'll see <3 #also there was a lot more hien and calien art in general but i tried to make this somewhat diverse alsdkjfh

so how is it that i’ve barely been able to leave the bed for nearly two weeks yet when i actually WANT to sleep i’m suddenly too nervous or hot etc.

i have taken three naps in the last several days, which is more naps than i can typically take in a whole year. i’m lethargic and sleepy all day and wake up more often in the middle of the night. at first i didn’t mind it so much with me being on vacation and all, but it’s starting to get on my nerves

#like i have less energy to draw #and i’ve been feeling less inspired lately? #i really worry it’s bc of the new anxiety meds i started recently #my mom has chalked it up to me being anemic which is true. but i’ve been anemic before and this ? is weird #on the bright side i DO feel less anxious in general but. i also feel less present in some ways #i genuinely do not know how to tell what has actually changed or why #gear diary

#its crazy how much easier it is to do things when youre not completely miserable lol #this past week has been weird bc ive felt really really good and like normal in a way thats kinds unfathomable #im hoping its the medication but my mood was already on an upward tilt and i was told it would take like 6 weeks for the meds to work #property but like ive been sleeping way more than usual. and by that i literally just mean 8hrs a night lol which is weird for me #like that never ever ever happens multiple days in a row. so idk. when i feel better it makes the 0cd way easier to manage as well #and im just generally not as anxious. on the more worrisome side i kinda just give less of a fuck so like i have an exam im not ready for #Tuesday and im just kinda like hm fuck that lol. ill go thru lil fluctuations of having a lot of energy too #like: i could run around in circles rn. i dont have to but i could. like yesterday i was out with friends and i was like bouncing up and #down while standing and rocking from side to side while sitting. which i kinda do anyway while in crowds but it was more to expend energy #last night i also got like 5hrs of sleep. so like maaaaybe ive been on the bleeding edge of mood elevation but for the most part it just #feels good and not destructive. like if i felt like this all the time that would b fantastic. its like oh so this is y ppl dont long to b #put out of their misery lol. depression? who? i dont kno her. sounds fake. but as soon as i fucking say that ill b fucking slapped back #down to earth. ugh. annoying. no emotional object permanence. i hope its the meds. if this is the person i am under layers of misery then #that is fucking so insane. we shall see. im curious to hear what the psychiatrist thinks of my brain when i follow up with her #i gave her my full dys1exia assessment which gives a pretty good picture of how my head functions. oh fuck i bet i would do waaaayyy better #on thise test if i took it in this state of mind. but anyway she has that on top of like 3 assessment sheets i filled out #dispite everything i still want someone to categorize me into a discreet box. tell me doc. am i really bip0lar? really really? #ur sure??? like 1000% sure bc my brain wont let me accept that unless its beyond a reasonable doubt. i just doesn't seem that serious. #i mean. it is but like ya kno. its not that bad. ay. this glob of mush behind my eyes runs me in circles #but for now thats ok bc i feel like i could run up a mountain or punch someone in the face lol #unrelated

so the thing about finwe is that he really loves children. he wants to have a big family and he loves his son, but he also can’t deny that he’s always wanted more kids around. so he pleads his case to the valar, he wants to marry another woman that he loves and he wants a larger family. and he gets it! he remarries, has four more children, and everything should be fine.

except it just... doesn’t feel the same? finwe is acutely aware as to what it’s like to raise a child---he’s been raising feanor on his own for a while now---and he doesn’t get the same feeling with his other children. he doesn’t know if it’s because he’s not alone now, that these children have a mother to take care of them as well, or if something in him is just wrong. or if this is some kind of latent punishment, as if he can get these children, but he can’t muster the same deep love he had with feanor with them.

sometimes, in quieter moments, he wonders if it’s his price for raising feanor. miriel died to birth him, and perhaps finwe’s cost is him being so drained of love he has barely any to give to his other children and his second wife. the thing is that he does love indis, he loves all his children, but he is also so tired. so exhausted.

he knows that considering the huge struggle he put to marry indis, this result is a disappointment. so he does the best he can, but when indis and him drift apart, he lets her (she shouldn’t have to be burdened with the elf he’s become) and when his fluctuating parenting results in some children who stick too close and some children who decide to go afar, he doesn’t reach to change them.

finwe tries to build the family he’s always wanted, he really does, but he is simply so drained. sometimes he feels more like a husk than an actual elf and he can’t help but wonder if miriel didn’t have the right idea

#c.posts #kind of at least #silmarillion #finwe #the idea here that i mentioned to radium is that there's a cost to raising feanor #miriel was so exhausted from the birth and finwe raises feanor. there must be some price to that #it's also really funny to me that this man is like i want more children! i want a big family! but then he just very readily dumps the rest #of his family to live with feanor. it's interesting to me and of course i must come up with in verse explanations as to why #hence him being drained from raising feanor #it plays out in two main ways with his other children: once feanor was grown finwe just sort of. didn't have the same energy to attend to #his not grown children. he loved them he paid attention to them as much as he could but he was still always semi distant #the other way is that finwe is exhausted in general and it shows after he marries and has more children #feanor attributes his father's exhaustion and diminishing attention to the fact that he remarried has more children but that's not it #there's also the fact that finwe doesn't know how to do anything with someone else. he's a leader alone. he raised a child alone. he has no #siblings. he doesn't know what it's like to share responsibility and he's tired now which makes the process harder #so he fluctuates between distant and smothering #he's overbearing especially when he recognizes he's been distant and it's him trying to make up for it #in general i do think all his children have different relationships with their father #feanor is obviously very close to him; i think findis is close by being virtue of the first new child; fingolfin and lalwen aren't as close #to him but fingolfin really wants finwe's attention while for lalwen it doesn't matter as much #i think finarfin has the most distant relationship. finwe wanted to get it right with each new child and finarfin was a commitment (hence #arafinwe) but then whoops. distance happened more than the smothering #anyways wanted to put this out there before the art comes along

One thing ive been thinking about lately is that like

Its okay to only ever make bad art. Its okay to only paint "boring" things or only draw the same thing a million times or only be "okay" at sewing or crochet. Sometimes i think theres this idea that its okay to make bad art because its part of the process of making good art, but i think its fine to make art that is bad or just okay and not keep looking at it thinking about ways it is flawed or ways to make it better. If you want to improve and grow, thats great and you will through the process of just doing something over and over or looking for advice or other ways of learning.

But its also totally okay to only ever want to make bad art

#art #delete later #idk ive been thinking a lot about how like #for the last few years the vast majority of my art has been drawing d&d characters largely by tracing over refs #and just drawing the same things over and over #because it makes me happy! #and sometimes i just see this come off as like. a way to moralize taste/lack of satisfaction with how your work turned out #because that peice doesnt matter its just one step on the way to making better ones #but if you only ever make lumpy pottery thats fine! you made a lumpy pottery! #like my great aunts house is covered in paintings shes made #and theyre not to my taste they feel kinda generic and bland to me #but she is showing more of her art in her house than i am in mine and im like. which of us is happier as an artist #value your art where it is #especially if its a fucking hobby! jesus christ! #if its a hobby do you want to spend so much time and energy hating it you dont enjoy it anymore? fuck! #like i just finished a sweater and now a part of me wants to break fom knitting/crochet for a bit bc ive been working hard at it for a whil #and it turned out fine but with some fit issues i know to fix in future projects #but idk #i need to allow myself the freedom to let bad art be completed art #anyway this got weirdly sentimental #i should go paint some weird fish now #also from my own experience. it helps me appreciate other artists more #because it helps me stop going oh i could do that/could never do that #and i can just go. wow look at the cool art and technical skill on display

[thompsborn]

in other news: i have a new job! sort of!

as in, i signed the offer letter on tuesday and am waiting for my background check to clear, i have a start date for may 22, but i'm transitioning from my current job into my new job by going part time at my current job and doing part time hours while training for my new one. which is great and will help my brain transition for sure, but also means that i'll still technically be working split shift until my official last day at my current job, which is gonna be june 21st

so, basically, starting june 22nd my schedule is going to be a lot less hectic and exhausting and i'll be able to focus on writing more, so fuck yeah! great news! i'm very excited!

i'm gonna try to update homeward bound before then, but also my already limited free time is going to become more limited as i go through this transition period, so it might not be done until after the transition period is over? again, i'll try for earlier, but as always i promise nothing because the second i promise anything i end up not being able to update for like six months straight lmao

#very excited to write more fics in general tbh #almost all of my free time has been spent on homeward bound #and like partially to the diabetic peter fic (that i also need to update) and tbaf (which i also need to update) #and that's great! those fics are my main priorities so i don't mind! #but i miss having the time and energy to just throw together random one shots #while taking a break from main projects yk #i have so many unfinished one shots in my files that i would love to finish and post eventually #so hopefully after this transition i'll be able to do that again

Do you still draw Midam? I haven't seen any of your art come across my dash in a long while.

ah. well. it's been a while since i've drawn,,, anything tbh. my brain is being really mean to me lately and my art has been the unfortunate victim here. i'd love to draw midam! they're still my favorite guys! i just can't promise when so,,, sorry about that 😅

#hey i got an ask #Anonymous #actually im really sorry to everyone who followed me for my art #my mental health has been pretty bad lately and im barely getting by with my irl responsibilities so i haven't been.... very active #in fandom in general. just to put it in perspective i'm not even reading fanfic anymore 😅 #i was so sure i was gonna binge read the entire tag of a show i just watched and. i just. don't have the energy for it :') #so. yeah. sorry :(( #i really want to participate in midam week this year too but alas. i don't know if i'll be able to which. really sucks askldjal

and if all the people who told you one day it won't hurt all the time and there will be a sunny day and you will be able to notice how beautiful it is were right. what then.

#the number of times over the last week I've nearly burst into tears because I realized I was experiencing joy untempered by sadness! #for the first time in so so long! It's over two years since I've been this at peace! #only by the grace of God am I still here at all #and I don't know I guess I just got used to being miserable but now I'm getting reacquainted with joy. #she's a good and loyal friend and I've missed her dearly. #I think the most peace I've known was on Sunday #It was the two year anniversary of the single worst day of my life #And two years out....I didn't feel like mourning. There's still a sense of loss but what God has given me instead is so much better. #I'm in such a better place mentally and emotionally and even physically with just being safe and being in school and doing well in classes #And I have friends I trust and love and who love me and a balance of work and rest that I never thought I'd have #And in class today we were talking about generalized anxiety disorder which I believe I used to have and...probably don't anymore #Like I used to spend so much time and energy just worrying and then also trying to avoid anxiety attacks and I just...don't anymore #It's been such a slow process and there are of course good and bad days and weeks but overall my brain has healed so much #and realizing that was wild #on healing

meinnnn gott i was like boy this song can't be 8 & a half minutes....well the first 6 minutes of the video are phyllidia krampington loosing george salazar the krampus on everyone & their asshole (here her cousin, b/c although i swear on my life i have seen [phyllidia seducing the krampus via baby it's cold outside] photos, in this 2018 show that sequence is definitely about her trying to fuck melvin cooterstein in the ass. (note that she mentions the xmas villain's long-lost daughter harriet, as the [why are you so evil? / i don't kneauuraeaough....but it definitely doesn't have anything to do with xyz] but no long-lost presumed dead spouse, who would've been already mentioned in the 2019 show at this point though that's no incontrovertible evidence it's not relevant in this show. & my hypothesis is that if melvin is a long-lost anyone, phyllidia would be His long-lost daughter. but 50/50 could go either way! a beautiful relationship ft. the convenience of all these colonoscopies he keeps scheduling)) and then we meet the fancy tree! and don't get around to singing until phyllidia's exit & the krampus's partial sendoff to go feel better having some snacks (i.e., mingle & meander)

#it's GONGEOUS in here #fantastic delivery on ''until you all poo out of your butts'' #the krampus does seem to have a range of Half Demonic Half just some guy & fairly timid/sensitive really but glad to be here #of course doesn't Actually continually disrupt the show or strike anyone's asshole with birch reeds hence the need for a pickmeup tiramisu #that's tiramisu as a generic term which is something i'm making happen in my own vocabulary #& from there things can diverge lol...not being seduce in this year or 2019's so seems in that case: trying to fuck the fancy tree #who has a mwah line about this as exquisitely delivered as you see here. but i can't recall it exactly Need to be rehearing things #and Need this energy and delight and magic to go into [cyril krampus 2023 baby it's cold outside video PLEASE (please) PLEASE (please) #x 2 baby please. hit post....will do the Opposite of hitting your asshole with birch sticks. stand facing away from your ass wielding like #ostrich feathers & moving them in the gentlest patterns away from you. for being Great this year] #joe iconis christmas extravaganza #phyllidia krampington #apparently not always but here indeed with some relation to #the krampus #who based on knowledge & documentation does seem to have been frequently portrayed by george salazar #got that :3 little voice going lmao. she yelled at me....loud :'3 #krampus just wandering around peeing in bernedette peters' plaintain chips. maybe humping a tree's skirt (costuming not needle collecting) #you know how it is #Youtube

Do you guys ever think about how (as far as we know) c!Tubbo arguably made the right choice by deciding to never open up to c!Ranboo... Because c!Ranboo (when Enderwalking) retains all his memories and works alongside c!Dream anyway. So although c!Tubbo doesn't know it, his paranoia is actually keeping him safe, because the less info c!Ranboo knows the less he has the ability to tell c!Dream... Not that c!Ranboo necessarily would, but it sucks that like... c!Tubbo probably beats himself up for not wanting to share anything with his sweet and loyal husband, not even knowing that sharing the wrong stray detail about c!Tommy could have caused something disastrous. Like c!Tubbo was right to be a closed book and that shit hurts to think about!!!

#i need Ranboo to explain cRanboo so bad. #one of the only things i care about anymore. pls just tell me why a version of cRanboo with all his memories WHICH BTW #HIS MEMORIES WOULD INCLUDE THE DISC FINALE. Why that version of cRanboo would willingly help cDream. #Even IF cDream went ''oh i wasnt really gonna kill Tubbo it was staged also its good that New Lmanberg was exploded by me'' #and even IF cRanboo wasnt told why the prison tnt needed to be set off & therefore didnt know hed be hurting cTommy #how could he work with someone who he knows has hurt cTubbo like that. If he genuinely cared. #and i think about that a LOT a lot bc like. We see all these glimpses of cRanboo just... not listening to what cTubbo is saying. #the warning about cWilbur in ho16 is a good example but also just about history and Lmanberg in general... cRanboo sort of gives off the #vibe that he thinks he knows better than cTubbo does. That he thinks he knows what cTubbo needs and what's best for him #but also that he like... idk i just have thought about it a lot and worryingly i think he could become similar to c!Technoblade eventually. #Not in the ''violence is the only universal language'' way but in the way of like ''as soon as someone doesnt agree w my ideals and feels #differently than I do they have lost my respect and protection until they Prove themself and Earn it back'' type deal. not NOW i dont think #cRanboo is like that NOW but... Everyone always says ''cRanboo grow a backbone'' but he DID... While enderwalking. #ew!Ranboo is him with a backbone and apparently the him with a backbone does not care if he hurts his loved ones. #like cRanboo is part of the problem of people brushing aside cTubbo's grief and pain like it doesnt matter. cRanboo helping cDream has the #same energy as cJack trying to kill cTommy. this sort of ''he'll get over it'' mentality about cTubbo that assumes that just because he HAS #in the past been able to ''bounce back'' from indescribable loss that means things dont bother him or he can do it easily #so like. i do believe cRanboo isnt unsalvageable. i think the parts of him WE see are very much just misguided and not intentionally #hurtful. but sometimes i think abt Ranboo saying he was gonna make it so no one could be an apologist for cRanboo and I think like #what Memory does ew!Ranboo regaun that suddenly makes it fine for him to hurt his loved ones? for ''Dream Is The Reason'' to completely #disappear for him? is cDream offering him something he cant refuse or god forbid does ew!Ranboo just AGREE with him? #that to me is like. Once i know that i can be at peace. thats like one of the only things I'll be genuinely upset if it isnt explained #bc when i tell you it has been haunting me for like a year. #ok sorry for the rant and sorry boobers if i messed up some lore details lol #doodle.txt

Attempting some tablet weaving for the first time. I have essentially no idea what im doing--i did watch a few videos which mostly went in one ear and out the other, as well as look for some written guides which were completely indecipherable if for no other reason than Reading Hard.

The warping was fiddly but straightforward, and the first several inches are totally botched bc i wasnt really creating a clean warp shed bc i had no idea what belonged to what half, but after i figured that out it got way neater ! I'm not really concerned about how it looks though. This first attempt will serve its purpose either way, which is to be a bag handle so that i don't have to crochet or knit one. Yes i did finally try tablet weaving just to avoid knitting or crocheting more straps.

Also wow, these cards really arent going to last very long. I pulled them out of the 5 deck hand and foot set (hence why they're all 3s, since thats the worst card to get and i figured removing a few wouldnt be missed), but if id realized they deteriorate so fast i definitely would have just used something else. Oh well though.

Also, i had a feeling this would hurt my back, and indeed it does. I lasted about 10 minutes before it was too much. Might need to use a chair next time.

#was talking to my fiance about dyslexia earlier and have been thinking abt it a lot recently #was diagnosed as a teenager at the same time as the adhd #mostly dont think abt it and generally considered it not to affect me that badly #but i have a theory abt why i csnt read anymore and why written patterns are SO hard to follow #which is that i think reading for me takes a LOT of mental energy and focus #and if im low on that for whatever reason anything more than a few sentences is just utterly insurmountable and i can't read it #its even worse in any language other than english which baffled me for years #but ! my fiance was telling me how he has an easier time reading english than anything else bc he practiced SO MUCH trying to read normally #in english but didn't do the same in hindi or anything else #which like. oh. yeah. i also tried way harder with english bc that's what school was in and i was desperate to not be seen as stupid #which also explains why reading aloud in any language other than english is so so hard #reading hamlet aloud for english lit: god this sucks but i do love hamlet #reading dante's inferno (french translation) aloud in french lit: oh my god i hate every second of this and i think i will die from nerves #reading childrens poetry aloud in russian for my intro to russian class: if i dropped dead right now that would be preferable #and like my russian pronunciation was not the problem here #i could have a conversation with my teacher in russian okay #and i know cyrillic ! no problems there #but having to read it aloud ?? exhausting and miserable #anyway. all of this to say that i am not using patterns bc trying to mix reading with learning a new thing is just. not happening #backstrap weaving #tablet weaving

one of my fave things bout minedai is that daigo could do Literally Anything- even the most benign, innocuous thing yet it could unintentionally cause mine to short circuit for the next five hours

#snap chats #ive been having minedai brainrot all day but i dont have the energy or ideas to execute any ideas #so i will simply just ramble bout it until something comes to me #prob wont draw anythin for a bit tho- ive drawn a lot lately and im busy with stuff. Of Which Include Drawing LMAO #listen thats comm stuff its different but anyways let me continue my ramble #i think of a lot of silly lil comics and drawings but the punchline is inevitably Mine Has A Heart Attack Over Daigo Existing #i wouldnt mind drawing that all day but man i cant imagine it'd be fun to see over and over- i guess it depends on execution #but no fr i just keep thinkin of simple shit like. like idk maybe they're walkin in the street together #and just the way they have to shuffle around other people daigo has to press against him for a hot minute #And It Is A Hot Minute mine's screaming internally because daigo's so close and even if theyre in the middle of the city #he's all he can focus on somehow- the way his suit feels and the subtle ways the muscles /under/ his suit shift and move #meanwhile daigo's just I'm So Sorry Mine :( I Didn't Think It'd Be This Crowded Today :( #brb gotta reread some of my fave fics cause they capture this aspect i love so well #god i gotta start writing my own shit though i just love talking about and explorin this idea If Not Just Them In General #but im Not Good at writing <:) or at least it's hard for me to think of an idea idk #once i have an idea then i can pump something out but alas nothing's come to mind #ok i'ma wrap up this ramble because i went all over the place by accident oops </3 #i'll be back in one way or another

I should be able to get the Vash cosplay jacket done and figure out how to do some wig styling before Supanova in three weeks, but I unfortunately I don't think I'm likely to get the gun done and I especially won't get the arm done.

Stupid ventilation requiring glue means combined with living in the southern hemisphere means I have such a small window to work on the thing, since by the time I finish work it's already dark and even if I dragged a lamp outside it's COLD and I don't want to be out there.

Maaaaybe I'll be able to get the gun done on time for Smash and potentially will be able to make an arm for Oz Comic Con? Not sure

#also i sort of burnt out after like two weeks of nonstop cosplay progress #had to take a full week off and now i'm just sorta doing a little bit when i can #but not quite having the energy to do full progress sessions #work has been busy and its exhausting me #not sure when this would be. probably not in time to really help with my cosplay prep before cons #but my workplace is likely looking to downsize the office spaces and generally encourage people to work from home more #so i would HOPE that my boss/team would let me work from home more regularly which would leave more time and energy in general #the commute SUCKS #ramblings of a bystander #a bystander makes cosplay

One thing you need to know about me is that I will never reblog anything that has the addition "this should be reblogged by everyone" or anything of the like.

#unless it's like #really funny and not a guilt trippy kind of bullshit #i can agree 130% with a post and then see that comment and I'm like #yeah no. go fuck yourself. #(this point has been made so many times but people don't get why it's annoying apparently. people don't dislike your stupid addition #because they secretly disagree with the post but because now it seems like some weird social obligation to rb is #rb this or you're a bad person is a clever marketing strategy but it's quite stupid because it weakens the original point #oh you're saying everyone should rb this? well now it looks like the ppl rbing actually just do it out of some feeling #of social obligation. not because they really want to but because they want to fulfill the arbitrary standards you just made up for being #a good person #and don't get me wrong most certainly are most people rb these posts still out of agreement with the original statement #but it's still annoying as fuck and also you'd think ppl would know by now that people don't generally like being told what to do #so my hypothesis is (and i won't do any research to prove or disprove it (i might be very wrong and most people don't mind obviously)) bjt #but my hypothesis is that people who originally agree with the post but have a strong desire of being free in their choices #won't actually end up rbing bc it's just not that free of a choice anymore bc you just had to make it 'obligatory' but we all know #nothing is obligatory on a stupid webbed site like this so they scroll past while people who maybe would have scrolled past now feel #like they might actually be a bad person if they don't do as it says but without actually caring about the content. which diminishes #the positivity the post originally was supposed to spread bc how do you tell ppl actually mean it now when they rb these things #anyway. am i ranting about something completely asinine phenomenon on tumblr.com? yes. #would it be better to not dedicate my time and energy into making a 'hate' post? absolutely. but that will never stop me from doing so #(also works for things like 'you guys HAVE to do xyz [for your (mental) health/etc]'. literally the best advice phrased like this #is counterproductive. post something that doesn't sound like you're judging everyone who does otherwise and maybe ppl will be more inclined #to believe whatever your point or statement is) #ok I'll stop #shut up amy
