#But I'm perpetually frustrated

[heart-of-the-party]

I think I'm definitely going to feel frustrated in the near future for not being able to draw estinien well. Hope i pull through and keep drawing him despite everything 😔

[vaguely-concerned]

more for the garashir fairytale grab bag AU I am never going to actually write: garak knows exactly what would break his curse from the start, he just never tells anyone for the longest time b/c he's so sure it could never happen

(it's asking forgiveness, of course. he thinks it's tain's forgiveness he needs, and tain is fucking dead and knew he would be by the time garak woke up so it seems the perfect unbreakable parting fuck-you revenge curse. and garak would expect nothing less from his father than that, so he's resigned to dwindling away painfully. enter julian bashir and his fierce force-of-nature compassion (and also secret illicit immense magical powers) with a steel chair!!! to go 'OH YEAH??? we'll see about that', as you might expect. oh. OH necromancer-ish julian calling tain's ghost up to ask him about what the hell he did and how to undo it, ala his gambit to go see him the wire? and the knowledge he gains from that is what confirms garak's suspicions as to what is Up with this handsome young healer mage because it could be known only by those long dead. cue east of the sun west of the moon part of the narrative once julian understands his game is up and runs away??

anyway getting some true love's kissing in by the end of it all is just a nice bonus it's not needed like strictly magically for either of their situations lol)

Still kind of mad at Vince et al for the photo in chucks house of two babies clearly meant to be Chuck and Jimmy except that the two are canonically 14 years apart

how many times do we need to learn as people that irony and hyperbole can be harmful because 'jokes' aren't easily distinguished from genuine thoughts and feelings until we stop rewarding people for speaking or posting about violence

like even if you're joking/don't actually believe that/think whoever you are insulting is bad/immoral/fictional therefore deserves it - ad hominem attacks always do more harm to the people who share those characteristic then the individual you intend to cause harm to or discredit

............................................. I'm regretfully writing a fanfic.

It's not gonna be big, but dialogue has been running in my head 24/7 and if I don't write it down I'll explode. Writing is a fun break from drawing besides and I genuinely feel like slowly dissecting other characters is helping me revisit my original stories, and dissect my own characters and bring more continuity and subtlety into them.

HI SHY!!!!! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year!!!!

My mom gave me covid for Christmas

[circle-of-the-spores]

Ah yes late night depression how I missed you

[crystalkleure]

What they do not tell you about harassment is that if the people trying to get a rise out of you are not succeeding by prodding you directly, they will change tactics and try to get a rise out of you by harassing your friends

Even somebody who isn't particularly affected by verbal abuse being directed towards themself is likely to be very upset by their friends getting dragged into it and getting hurt

[tj-crochets]

You should definitely tell people that you have blood pressure issues that make you passout if they're being angry, but if that doesn't work, you are under no obligation to tell random angry people the truth, tell them you have hear issues and your heart will give out if you don't sit when you need to.

Your safety is more important than honesty to random mean angry people.

Oh I absolutely do tell them when people are being jerks. I mean, most of the time, I just say I have heart issues and don't clarify if I have to say anything at all, but if they are being especially awful I'll launch onto a medical jargon-filled explanation while looking as like small and sad as possible. Like "sorry, I have ideopathic tachycardia and postural orthostatic hypotension, and the cerebral salt wasting syndrome makes it worse."

It's really unfair I have to get dressed to go to a doctor's appointment that isn't even mine! I just want to be cozy and doodle silly things and think silly thoughts!

[joziokowalski]

"i hope death is like being carried to your bedroom when you were a child" fuck you. fuck that post and the person who came up with it why would you come up with something like this

[imiren-kul]

Hey I know it's been a while since I've written anything. I mean, at least since I've posted any of my writing. I've been having a hard time allocating the energy to sit down and write. I haven't abandoned anything. If anything, I've been doing more planning and plotting. I'm definitely going to start a companion story to Torshan. One that isn't interactive so I can write as much as I'd like for a chapter. Thank yall for your patience and I hope you stick around to see more of the stories I have planned. ^v^

[paopuofhearts]

it's almost like the only option is dividing things further black and white then just going hardcore to an extreme.

like.

i spent all day yesterday cutting off friends and blogs of people i love in my native community because of the excessive call for violence as the answer to decolonization, maintaining nuance but only for one side and saying fuck all to everything and everyone else.

but then today.

the number of jewish friends and blogs i've had to unfollow because people are doubling down on "hamas bombed a fucking hospital" when there's clear evidence that isn't true and it's propaganda to perpetuate cycles of violence?

fucking horrifying.

How to tell if the movement you think is possible to revitalize is Actually Past Saving:

[the-chickenshit-oddity]

it's funny how knowing yourself is a perpetual cycle of the same realisations. yesterday i noticed that my anxiety is triggered by a feeling of being trapped. it felt like a breakthrough, ya know, like when you finally get the final piece of the puzzle and now you understand. except i've known it for years, i've known it for more than a decade. but it still felt brand new.
