So after a good 2 years of feeling like I'm in a constant creative slump, I think I'm finally starting to get back to normal 😊

Turns out creative burnout from social media is a very real thing and if you can afford it (aka if you have other incomes than just your art) I definitely recommend taking a step back from the grind

#like there's still a lot of things I can't bring myself to do anymore #my signature for example. all you get is the R at this point bc I can't be bothered to think of 'branding' or some shit anymore #last night I thought of uploading my reki art to rb but I couldn't bring myself to do it #at least I'm still drawing again which is what was important for me to regain ^^#baby steps my dudes #baby steps

found a leopard slug today and we became best friends. She even let me literally pet her repeatedly for minutes without any sign of fear of discomfort. Aand was comfy enough to pull her eye stalks in and take a nap on my hand for lik 5 min. She didn’t want to leave my hand :( i had to struggle to get her slimy lil self back onto wet leaves on the forest floor. I love nature I love creatures I love the earth I could cry

i really do think the systematic execution of the jedi has kinda sorta ruined all future star wars media for in the sense that i am always going to be thinking about the space empath monks who were genocided. there used to be thousands of them and now there's like. 7. functionally an entire culture dead. they can show me all the grogus in the world, im always going to think about how they had to step over the dead babies.

#:v #star wars #order 66 #im glad Anakin got redeemed in the end and got to go to space monk heaven but also THEY HAD TO STEP OVER DEAD BABIES #😭😭😭#this fictional space opera for twelve year olds devistates me #reva also kinda changes how I viewed order 66 #like it was always a bad horrible thing right but seeing it from the kids perspective.#Anakin was killing babies dude.#ugh Anakin my perfect horrible man #the thing is if obi wan or padme had been there they obviously could have talked him down #but they couldn't have been there #Anakin is the perfect you can't save him until it's too late #like yeah Luke was able to get through to him!#AFTER HE HAD BLOWN UP A PLANET!#they couldn't have saved him! padme and obi-wan I am holding you so so dear you did everything you could #Anakin I'm holding you but it's in a different way. a complicated way #love you as a character. you make me physically ill

So about the whole AI thing.. they say don't use it because it sounds like garbage and it hinders your writing. Like yeah it's a crutch but my gm was like "ok I did a whole campaign now you do a oneshot" and I've never written anything before in my life so I leaned heavily on chatGPT and I did probably 5 or 6 oneshots. And then I did a pre-written module from WotC and now I have fanfiction WIP when I've never been someone to write. So like yeah it's a crutch but as your leg heals you use it less and less right? At least that's been my experience

#I love it here. why in hell is this in my ask box #like dude idk what to tell you I’m not the police #but also the op of that post is right still #like chat gpt is the devil and your analogy isn’t very apt either #it’s more like handing a perfectly able bodied baby a crutch and telling them to learn how to walk with that instead of just.#letting them learn to walk.#I assume the fanfic isn’t using chat gpt in which case good for you. your first steps to real growth should always come from passion #but like if not… idk what to tell you. skill issue bro.

thought id see some deep and thought-provoking discussions about the philosophical and moral questions posed in atsv but all im seeing is a whole bunch of "the whole spider society is evil and fucked up for trying to save the entire fabric of the multiverse even if they have to bear personal grief for it and miles is the only Good One" and man . expected too much from the 'spends 90% time and energy thirsting for scary big vampire guy' fandom huh

#sorry im just . kinda really mad abt takes im seeing (against my will but alas..... twt fyp and ao3 tag cursed as hell)#like ???? just not getting the nuance of the conflict in the movie at All . its not supposed to be one side wholly good one side wholly bad #taking ppl away from this movie for a second and sitting them in front of the trolley problem . baby steps so try to understand this first #NOT ABT MIGUELS METHODS BTW THEY WERE 100% FUCKED UP !!!! he went way too far thats not even up for debate #but more the mindset he was coming from which is still justified from his perspective like dude lost an entire World!! comprehend that !!!!#also ppl getting on gwens and peter bs and peni's cases abt 'betraying' miles like theyre doing smth insanely evil like bro..... enough #aauagghhgh psychic damage from bad takes is happening i need to stop reading these #ummnmnm . dunno if i should even post this idk maybe im the only one thinking too hard abt it #atsv spoilers #my post

DUDE IDK WHY I ADOPTED THE KID OF THE GUY I KILLED LOL I WAS JUST IN A CRAZY MOOD IG #AND THEN BEING LIKE OKAY OFF TO THE ORPHANAGE YOU GO.

losing my mind thinking about byan being dragged camping, and it's all xeno's fault. but it's so fucking funny bc they're usually the most scrappy mf known to man, happy to get their hands dirty when they're in the city, but the moment you put them in nature? uhhhh that's gross actually, why tf would I kneel in that dirt to light a fire when these are brand new pants???

plus side, you'll never lose them in the dark bc they're dressed in neon pink & covered in a layer of glitter. they are, however, also not dressed for being in nature, what with their short skirt and their knee-high socks and just the chunkiest, worst fucking boots to go hiking in.

#don't even get me started on how annoying they'll be if there's no phone service #'you mean I can't use the internet to ignore you????? dude fuck this'#smh smh they throw themself off of buildings and get into fights where they're outnumbered but you put them in the woods and they're a baby #no they're not touching that branch can you IMAGINE what else has been on that????#ew I'm not stepping in that river are u fucking kidding me #you're telling me I alone out here with you and my thoughts??? lmao fuck that I'm gonna go hitchhike back to civilization #ajsjgjshdj look I'm super fucking high rn and I started laughing about this all over again #so take my weeded up ramblings I'm not proofreading them sorry #━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ OOC ⋮ DON’T @ ME.#weed cw

Tara doesn't have the cursed twist-out in the promo pics. Black people win at not losing

#no we don't. show's still racist. unless it all gets fixed bc the aesthetics aren't enough to sway me #also they did this w s2 pics and she only had that style for part of the season. AND she wasn't a stud. it made me sad :(#but hey. a baby step is a baby step. although it certainly does not imply any more steps will be taken #I also still don't know what Michael's hair deal is #although looking at it esp now that my hair's grown out it kinda just looks like my afro #slightly different curl pattern. which makes sense bc my hair's coilier than darragh's #i believe that this is a natural afro. natural afros just look like that #by like that i mean unless you're freshly cut specifically for an afro there are gonna be bits of frizziness on the top #a sad reality for a perfectionist fashionista #seems like a regular afro. i can't tell if it's badly picked or if his curls are just more visibly defined or both #i don't think i've really seen someone with his hair type do a fully picked out afro like that though #you usually want to keep the definition when you have it. like with some of the hairstyles darragh has actually had #logically thinking picking it like that would just fuck with your definition. and it'll look badly picked and/or poorly defined #which is what i'm getting from the grainy twitter image #it's def plausible that hair and makeup gave him that afro just to have a black guy with The Afro #while ignoring/not understanding how afros actually work irl and how they're done on different hair types and such #but i want to wait to see it in action before i fully shit on this dude's hair for what could be no reason

i really only have 2 modes: longing for a man and buying stuff online and i am about to order some things so that i don't text this man who is clearly not interested in me in the same way i'm interested in him

#THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS #WHEN GUYS YOUR AGE DON'T SHOW ANY INTEREST IN YOU #YOU START FALLING FOR A GUY 17 YEARS OLDER THAN YOU #BECAUSE YOU GAVE UP ON EVERYONE ELSE #AND HE'S A GOOD PERSON YOU ARE ACTUALLY ABLE TO MAKE CONVERSATION WITH AND WHO LIKES BEING AROUND YOU #i'm also and adult and he'd not grooming me if anyone is concerned #i have BEEN groomed so i know what it looks like #i'm actually pursuing him #but yeah i just feel like myself around him so much #and we're like always on the same wavelength #and we're both hugg-y folx i don't feel like a creep if i want to hug him #and we like a lot of the same music #and then he brings up his kids and i'm like fuck why was i not born 10 years earlier so i could be in a relationship with this man #and be a step mom to his children they're so freaking adorable and sweet #i don't really want the dudes my age anymore i want him #we just work so well #i've never had that with any of the guys i've been interested in #they just make me feel really scared and i forget how to act #or is this what having a friend who is a male is like #when i started at the store people were like 'you're baby'#and i've learned to really lean into it i'm tryna be sexy and desirable here idk if it's working #brett

Yes! I broke 3 followers on instagram!

I know thats small but it's a victory when instagram has such a punishing algorithm for artists and I'll take it

reddit refuses to stop recommending me the antinatalist sub and i just saw a post from there saying "women who breastfeed in public or on streams are just doing it for male attention" like dude that's literally just Regular Old Misogyny. this isn't an antinatalist thing you're just misogynistic is all

#and thats not even going into the problems with antinatalism itself like.#i am 1000% childfree and they try to act like antinatalism is the logical conclusion/next step from there but it just. super isnt #like no just because i personally dont want kids doesnt mean ill agree that doing so is abusive because #you can't ask the babies for consent before bringing them into this world #and its like. this is such a nothingburger when you think about it for more than like two minutes #is this world rough? yes #are there people who wish theyd never been born? yes #but they act like fuckin. their soul was in paradise before you so rudely ripped it away and forced it into this world #because of your own selfish desire to make a creature that is compelled to love you #and its like. ok. im sorry ur parents lived vicariously through you bc its clearly left an impact but that does not reflect on.#the entire human race? humans are animals. animals make babies of themselves. like reproduction of some form is how life continues #it's not inherently morally good or bad it's just a thing life does #(inb4 'ur making up a guy to get mad at' i have seen this exact sentiment expressed almost word for word many times)#(not the souls part thats hyperbole i meant the 'people only have kids bc theyre selfish and want a mini them who loves them by default'#part it gets really old really fast lmao)#and theyre always posting stuff like 'just found out ny friend got pregnant and is keeping the baby‚ i can't #believe she would do something like this‚ now i have to end a 14 year friendship' and its like. my dude.#you need to see a therapist because if you think just existing is such bad torture that you have to cut someone off for #having a baby you may actually just be severely fucking depressed #thats not in a derogatory way esp bc whenever i do look at the sub like. 100% of the posts there are depressed as hell #which makes sense‚ it's an ideology driven by 'everything is fucked‚ we can't stop it‚ we're the problem and should just die off'#and i think being unknowingly depressed can make it very easy to fall into the more nihilist aligned movements like that #i know before i figured out i had it i was big into nihilism #and i would say to a certain degree i still am and im still depressed but i think the two are actually separate now #like its not nothing matters because my brain doesn't have enough of a chemical #its nothing matters because like i said humans are just animals‚ highly influential animals yes but animals nonetheless #we're not morally superior to other animals‚ evolution didnt pick us it's entirely randomized #the entire world is randomized! every part of our universe couldve developed so differently if even a tiny thing changed #nothing means anything because anything couldve been anything else #theres no meaning in that bad thing happening to you‚ it was just random chance‚ it's not some cosmic punishment
