Okay the funny part of writing this out was reading it back to myself, a person who has spent a not insignificant amount of time studying the brain, and going "yeah that's textbook depression that you are describing" so I guess I have to figure out how to deal with that now

I have been writing a little each day and daydreaming about my stories and still enjoying all of that, but I also can't stop thinking, "Why am I doing this?"

I have no idea what's up with me this past week (err two weeks maybe), but I just keep thinking "what is the point of this?"

And I can answer the question. I enjoy writing. I spend time enjoying myself writing down a story, and then ten people read the story and maybe say something nice to me, and then I do it again. That's the point. That's all it is.

And I just keep thinking... why?

my introductory paragraph insisting upon my sanity and denouncing all those who would insinuate my madness is raising a lot of questions in the reader already answered by my paragraph

Feron, using oil brushes by Manero Brushes in Procreate. Timelapse of the process under the cut, warning for flashing images

I'm not sure why it suddenly jumps at the end there, maybe because I resized the canvas (and maybe because procreate saw me agonise over the background for an hour and decided to give me a break lol)

whenever you see a post on this website don't forget to ask yourself: why is op the worst human being that has ever walked upon the earth, how does this post target me specifically, and what are the hateful implications hidden between the lines ???

odysseus absolutely does present a threat to penelope if he perceives her as at all unfaithful, and i feel the unfairness of this, and i think people tend to undersell how much tension at least potentially exists between odysseus and penelope. but i'm also like. his reaction, all speculation aside, his actual reaction in the odyssey to her flirting with the suitors is delight, because he immediately ascertains that she is running a con. sorry that they're so in-sync in spite of the forces that try to drive a wedge between them, including their own misgiving hearts. sorry that they invented homophrosyne ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the biggest tragedy about classical education is that people think it's meant to make you become a pretentious snob that quotes plato or seneca unprompted when in truth it's meant to make you a freak who cries and shakes profusely thinking about the fucked up family dynamics from 2000 year old plays

re-reading my own fic because the author has exactly my taste in tropes, ships the same ships in the right way, and also shares my sense of humour. what a find, what a revelation. i hope they write more of this sort of thing.
