#I mean not really but it is discouraging

[knight-intraining]

It's really annoying to me when people act like you shouldn't ask for attention or validation as a need.

Or when you give them an opportunity to reciprocate something nice you did for them, and they just don't.

Like, it was nice for you when you got the attention and validation, right? Well I want it too because it's a normal human need and I'm human. So like, maybe you could help me get it, yeah? Like I did for you.

Hey guys, I'm having a really weird problem...

So every time I'm watching a good animated show or series, I just don't enjoy it as much as I used to. Instead of just being normal and watching it, I feel...jealous? I don't know- I just feel discouraged?

I assume its because I've always wanted to be an animator and create a show of my own, its just always been a dream of mine.

Maybe I feel bad about seeing really good shows because deep down I feel like I'll never be good enough to do my own. Like...like I'll never reach my dream and even if I did, no one would like it.

I often fantasize about episodes for my own show like every night but I just can't help but be discouraged. I often think of just giving up since I think I'll never accomplish my dreams.

So I just find myself being sad and discouraged, the same thing goes for other artists on this site! I see really good artists and they get sooo much fanart and thousands of follows...And I can't help but feel sad! Of course I'm happy for their success and I cheer them on, but at the same time, I feel like I will never be as good them. I just get...I dunno- Just jealous.

I DONT LIKE TO BE JEALOUS! I don't know why I'm like this rather than just enjoying people's success!! I don't MEAN to be jealous!

...I can't help but be so discouraged-

Happy Easter if yall celebrate it!!!!! Otherwise I hope yall have an absolutely fantastic Sunday!!!!

Aaaa I feel like I'm not as chatty as I once was on here. Been a bit all over the place! Also feel silly making a ton of text posts with no art so I try and limit how often I blab on here.

But just know I still appreciate all of you who follow and like my art! Every bit of interaction I still see and it still baffles me to see such kind words. It means the absolute world to me!!!! 💖💖🌻

I was only productive for about three hours of it, but I at least managed to get SOMETHING done today! I ordered a pizza, made myself go interact with real people (from a safe distance and wearing a mask 😅), and ate it while taking in some fresh air. Then I came back home, and now I’m hydrating up, and I took some nighttime cold medicine to hopefully make tonight a smoother ride than last night/this morning.

…which is to say, I guess the only thing I really managed to do today was eat and drink (and clean the cat box of course), but considering I didn’t know if I could get out of bed earlier today, I’ll call it a win. By the time I got home from my simple little errand I felt like I’d just completed a two-hour workout, so I guess that’s my cue to give my body whatever time it needs. Staying horizontal is a struggle right now, and I’m not in the mood to fight a losing battle. 😆

My english lyrics for Triage woo! (They're written out under the cut, I just wanted to share my lil chart lol)

Though I'm too indecisive to officially label this as my favorite song, it's had the strongest emotional impact on me by far. It holds a special place in my heart, I definitely wanted to write lyrics for it first! I'll leave all my rambling process commentary in the tags, but I was so happy with how it came out!!

All of those cards of promise thrown down carelessly,

This must be retribution for all I've taken endlessly.

If that were the case, it should have been fate for me to die.

That's the truth, given my crime, so why--?

No, I can't take it, to this cruel joke I'll submit. You

don't know, you can't know, but I'm ready to admit:

Killing for them, extracting for them, won't change the fact they're dead.

I need someone to tag me as RED.

It makes me sick (sick), it's too unpleasant. Sick (sick)

Is this punishment? What do you mean I'm INNOCENT?

I see, the world is cruel and leaves you on your own.

(I can't die) to atone. (I can't love) alone.

I can't be saved (saved), you've nothing to give. Saved (saved)

But what if I lived? Why else would you choose to forgive?

I see, there's lives to save so let's be sensible.

Right now, you need me, (I can be) indispensable.

Tilt to and fro, I know the scales should land on GUILTY for me.

Tilt fro and to, it's INNOCENT that they choose.

They cry (x4) out in pain, I can hear them. There's no one else, to guard their health,

My mission is offering help.

All of those cards of promise thrown down carelessly,

This must be retribution for all I've taken endlessly.

So if that's the case, then it must be fate to make amends,

Extract that fang before we meet the end.

It makes me sick (sick), it's too unpleasant. Sick (sick)

Is this punishment? What do you mean I'm INNOCENT?

I see, the world is cruel, but what I've realized is

(Now I want) to be INNOCENT. (Now I want) to live.

It makes me sick (sick), This wasn't my plan, hostages at my command.

Their future resting in my hands

I see, there's lives to save so let's be sensible.

Right now, please save me, (I will be) indispensable.

Maybe this was meant to be -- oh  -- or maybe neither of us can know

There's lives to save so let's be sensible.

Right now, please save me, (I will be) indispensable.

I mentioned earlier that I always get annoyed with myself when people post translyrics and I can't figure out the rhythm they were going for, so here's a recording of me singing, but I'm bad at it! It's just for fun! Like a rough draft for music! Because the only thing worse than people hearing my voice is people thinking I can't count syllables!

I'm 4.5 episodes into Unsleeping City and I love Cody so much- he's just perfect for Murph.

Also (completely related) I wanna hug Ricky- he forgot to buckle up because he needed to save the kid and got hurt!! That's gotta hurt both physically and mentally dude.

I love that people can project onto characters but as soon as they start to force those projections onto me or others is when it’s a problem.

Like zelink are siblings or sheik is trans or zelda is a man or Link is trans or Link is gay.

Like that’s great!! Put your identity into the characters you love! OC-ify those bitches.

JUST DON’T FUCKING FORCE IT ONTO EVERYONE ELSE. YOU’RE NOT COOL YOU’RE AN ASSHOLE AND YOU’RE TAKING AWAY THE ABILITY TO CREATE AND PROJECT FOR SOMEONE ELSE

If you can project these things onto characters THAT AREN’T YOURS TO BEGIN WITH so can everyone else.

So respectfully shut the fuck up and let others cook and project and find identity in the characters that they love without you forcing your opinion or your identity or your projections onto them.

I’ve always found it weird when others gatekeep characters they don’t own. Don’t do that shit. It’s weird af.
