How do I describe a tired person? I got ‘dark circles under the eyes’ but it kind of stops there.

it takes 10 layers of the water filter to completely drown a tumblr screenshot if anyone was wondering

i don't care if it's nazis, mormons, or a bunch of misguided autistic people. if anyone ever tries to tell you your soul is from another planet and you're actually part of the class of impressive people that secretly did everything cool in the world but is now extinct and lives on through your broken genome, you RUN. YOU WILL RUN AWAY. YOU WILL SPRINT FULL SPEED AWAY FROM THAT.

survival cannibalism is treated like such a monstrous spectacle of lost humanity but I think the vast majority of people would want their loved ones to accept their flesh as a gift of life before starvation. I know if my friends chose to starve rather than eat me I’d come back to fucking haunt them.

Adult realization: you will make mistakes, you will act irrationally. You will commit some wrongs that cannot be fully righted. People will dislike you and misunderstand you for all sorts of reasons. None of these make you a bad person. All you can do is try your best to be kind and just to people, grow and learn.

Hello! I really like what you’ve written in the past regarding the PS AU, and I was wondering if you were ever going to pick it up again? Perfectly alright if not, just interested in knowing. I hope you’ve been doing alright! And I hope you have a good day :]

So many changes have happened in my life that have brought me to where I am now. My on and off scraps trying to blend the perfect subtle notes of dependency and need. The silly moments with friends. The fragile connection that, for now, feels solid and structural.

It's made of things I love. It holds pages in my notebooks. I run through conversations and happenings with these characters. Their story is one I want to continue and write.

When I've worked my way through the slog I have found myself meld with, I will write.

Thank you.

How do you draw so well on paper without getting frustrated with your own art? Bless me with a tip pls

I often draw very messily on paper. I just clean it up afterwards, either by erasing stray marks and guidelines and relining the drawing, or by scanning and doing digital touchups. Or I just leave some of the messiness there because sometimes that has more personality and charm than a pristine, polished drawing does. I am also in a near perpetual state of frustration with my art. I think that's normal for anyone doing any sort of creative work. Having to erase and redraw something, having to reconfigure your approach after trying and failing the first few times, having to relent and seek out some reference material - it's a confluence of frustration and challenge. As maddening as it can be, it's also part of what keeps things interesting. If it was all completely effortless, what satisfaction would there be in doing it?

I guess if there's a tip in here somewhere, it's to embrace frustration. If you're feeling frustrated, it's a good indication you have a critical eye for your own work and that you're venturing beyond your comfort zones. Both of those things are essential to improving. (That's not to say you should torture yourself. If you're so frustrated that your blood pressure is spiking, well, take a break, cool off, return after a refresh.)
