i want to have the time and energy again to draw more complicated illustrations. i want to draw drawings within drawings. i want to spend hours on carefully inking, i want to enjoy the rendering process. i want to go bonkers on a piece. hello, can anyone hear m

#in other news i drank some coffee and instead of giving me energy my body is all jittery and numb now pftt #but yeaaa got hit with inspiration after i read a truly gorgeous comic the other day +#kept looking at ryoko kui's daydream hour illustrations #i think itd be fun to do like the portriat compilations she does to practice her character design diversity with the aa cast #that's on my to-do list now #but instead i have to finish my animation first whoops sdgdhd #i keep getting sick/not feeling so good too rip me and my weak ass 😔#sunnysiderambles

Okay but why did they never have any holiday themed POI episodes?

More specifically, how come they never had a Halloween episode and played “Somebody’s Watching Me” by Rockwell in the background?

#THEY MISSED AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY THATS ALL #BUT ALSO CHRISTMAS #SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN TO TOWN PLAYING AND FINCH AND REESE GIVE EACH OTHER A SIDE EYE WITH ‘HE SEES YOU WHEN YOURE SLEEPING HE KNOWS WHEN—‘#LIKE CMON #also I wanted a team machine secret santa gift exchange in the midst of all the Samaritan craziness #like Reese gets Shaw - Shaw gets Root - Root gets Finch - Finch gets Reese #I’d picture Reese gifting Shaw the keys to his old motorcycle #(cuz he’s a cop now and doesn’t use it)#and it’s in a small box so at first Shaw’s like ‘this better not be a necklace’ and he’s like ‘just open it’#and they’re all aloof and it’s funny but also touching #then I picture Shaw just gifting herself to Root like #*slaps a bow on her head* ‘for the next twenty four hours we can do whatever you want’#and idk they have a girls day (you know getting their nails done - shopping for shoes - going to the gun range - making out - etc)#Root gifts Finch a rare painting or smth sentimental to him like that #but she tries to do it without like stealing anything (to ease his conscience)#(she’s mostly successful)#‘relax Harry I bought this. with money.’ ‘your money?’ ‘…’ ‘it was your money right??’#and idk what Finch gets Reese but I imagine it’s both sentimental and practical so he can use it often #and they have another ‘thanks for giving me a purpose’ moment and it’s gay as hell and we’re all happy #and they all pitch in and buy Fusco some funny ties or smth #and Bear gets lots of toys and treats cuz he’s the best boi #wow uh #you know what I’m not deleting all that imma just keep it in but just to recap this was about Halloween and a funny song they could’ve used #person of interest #poi #john reese #harold finch #sameen shaw #root #🎶song sings🎶

*lovingly tackles Aine*

Read my Yandere! Pierro longfics first ♪( ´▽｀)

Last week, my beloved mutual @ainescribe surprised me with Savior! Darling fan art and AHAI9232@2-!/! CRYING SCREAMING I WANT TO LOOK AT THIS ART AND WORSHIP YOUR VERSION OF SAVIOR THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BLESSING ME WITH YOUR ART—

*clears throat* Anyway, now that I finally have the time to properly sit down and comment on the fan art, I’ll do just that. Feedback will be in the tags and it will be unhinged. Once again, thank you so much to Aine for drawing this <3

#feedback #fan art #ainescribe #AIIINE ;-; once again. thank you so much!! it rlly means a lot to me that you enjoyed my writing and felt inspired to draw this :'>#and as someone who loves fashion and character design. it's so so interesting to analyze your version of savior #there's so much symbolism and visual storytelling in each sketch/ outfit and i shall now proceed to pick apart each detail as best as i can #her snezhnayan fit.....god i love it. it's regal. distinctively snezhnayan. and draws attention to her--and you just know that was pierro's #intention when he dressed her in those garments. IT'S JUST SO...!! savior's wardrobe scrubbed clean of her original culture and preferences #replaced with the foreign garments of her captor's nations.....in line with this. i love how her kokoshnik and khaenri'ahn earrings are big #and attention-grabbing. you can't look at her without taking note of those accessories. it begs the question:: how many times has savior #looked at the mirror after being dressed up in snezhnaya and was unable to recognize her own reflection?? :'>#also shoutout to some details aine shared with me: 1) the face marks are inspired by weeping angels 2) the kokoshnik was traditionally worn #by married noblewomen BUT the veil was normally for unmarried women so savior's outfit can be seen as a form of compliance + rebellion #(though later on in history it became accepted for married women to also wear that veil. also my apologies if what i said is inaccurate)#lastly shoutout to savior's expression!! very poised and mysterious....due to her emotional state or pierro's rules on how to act as his #spouse in public?? we'll never know~ the first drawing hits even harder when you compare it to the next one!! such an interesting contrast~#savior in her plain attire. casual and domestic with a smile on her face....i'm guessing this is her pre-fatui version?? she looks so warm #and friendly. and i can definitely understand why pierro fell for her smile <3 #also i fucking love the caption. sorry pierro but you are cursed to be a loser/ simp/ pathetic man in all of my fics and AUs xD #NOW ONTO GODDESS! SAVIOR AAAHHHH!! i love the greek goddess motifs. she looks so regal and awe-inspiring but in a different way from her #snezhnayan attire--archaic. divine. and more suited to her personal style.....yet both versions of her look so painfully isolated :'>#her blank eyes. emotionless face. and veil give me the vibes of a spooky victorian ghost...or would a statue/ portrait be more fitting??#the lack of a necklace is also an interesting design choice given what happens in the fic. and now i realized i forgot to comment on your #version of her snezhnayan necklace oops. similar to the kokoshnik and earrings. the size + grandeur makes it impossible to ignore #that and big jewels = expensive af. ohhh and i love the sparkles on her veil!! pierro rlly spared no expense in dressing up his wifey <3 #it's also funny how all of these outfits are similar to my own version in terms of 'savior wore grand clothing during her glory days as a #goddess -> wore simple attire after her decline for practicality and to blend in with humans/ disassociate from her old identity -> is now #dressed in even grander clothing as the harbinger's spouse. but it's used to reinforce her new identity and pierro's control over her'#tldr:: your design is so creative and i can see the effort you put in analyzing her character and depicting her based on your interpretatio #thank you for being my mutual + reader and i hope we can share even more harbinger/darling brainrot in the future :>

you know what i'll say it MIKE AND ROIER ARE THE ONLY ONES I RESPECT these fuckers will rock up and say FUCK english all my homies HATE english they are the only ones i trust and respect these fuckers are like you will hear me speak my language and you will LEARN IT OR DIE and i respect the HELL OUT OF IT dude THANK YOU FOR BEING ENGLISH HATERS brothers THANK YOU FOR NOT SPEAKING ONLY ENGLISH WHEN AMONG ANYONE NOT OF YOUR LANGUAGE GROUP!!!!!!!!

#qsmp #if there are others who also refuse to speak english that i didn't notice i will add them #this excludes the koreans bc they aren't strong in english so it's only half an option for them #(allegedly aren't strong i didn't see them around long enough to come to any real conclusions but i'm told they aren't strong in it)#and also hugo bc he didn't have much time on the server and some people who start out relying on the translations #will swap over to using their english however strong that might be idk his relative strength either bc like korea he wasn't online long 😔#which i also respect because i'm glad they get to practice their nonnative tongue that's cool #but the first multilingual smp with live translation becoming the 'english in a group' server gives me fits #anyway for legal reasons much of this post is hyperbole and exaggeration #but i do love how mike and roier can be consistently relied on to just Not Speak English #block game brainrot #shut up vic #bonus shoutout to foolish who often insists spanish speakers only speak spanish to him #and tries to only speak spanish in return. he's not got broad vocab just yet but for only learning via this and duolingo he's doing amazing #and i have a lot of respect for him for it #(yes i respect everyone for reasons but this post is about the ones who can and do speak Not English on purpose)#(regrettably people like bbh and phil don't count although i still respect their efforts)#ANYWAY SLASH END TAG RANT THIS POST KNOWS WHAT IT'S ABOUT DON'T FIGHT ME

#the two unavoidable obstacles i run into & often lose against every time i try to start drawing again are #first; past the initial success at doodling some stuff again : realizing i'm not that good at this actually #like compared to what it feels i could/ should be doing if i'd known how to keep practicing regularly for the last few years #if i knew how to learn if i knew what i was doing #that's fine that's ok i can make it better i just need to quit giving up too early #second the lack of inspiration actually #i run out of ideas fast because im out of practice with that too & i have nothing to say #i don't know ! i gotta learn everything again is kinda what it feels like most of the time & i'm terrible at it #i'll try i'll try #shevr #i'll quit ranting at lengths in the next posts this one's just a thursday treat ( for me )#my lines

Me looking through all the reblogs/comments from people genuinely concerned about my wellbeing:

#/silly of course... I very much appreciate your worries but I need to reassure you all: I AM OKAY!!!#And disregarding the first week (was on my period) I have a decent sleep schedule. I've just started waking up early #i'll attempt to explain why I work so fast but I do need to give it some thought:#1) probably the most likely reason is just my art style; its relatively simple and cartoony and i've done it for years.#it could just be quick to work with?#speaking of which 2) I've been drawing for a long while... nearly all my life but getting more “serious” starting 3rd grade #it could be I've done the skills so much I just do them really fast? that and my art style maybe #in other words my art style and maybe my experience with cartooning make me work so fast? I have no clue #even this doesn't feel entirely accurate but I guess it provides some reason... like papercutzo said maybe its very stubborn motivation too #but seriously though please don't worry about me (yet)!!! I'm not overworking myself I promise :)#doodle #artsandramblesandstuff #update I read a thing about cartoonists working quickly and I think another thing that ties with the 2nd reason is practice? maybe?#sorry for sounding so distraught (if I'm honest its that I was beginning to think something was wrong with me for working so fast)#(thats why Im attempting to answer this)#(i should shut up now)

you know someday i'm gonna feel so good when i have my student loans paid off

that ain't gonna be soon, trust me, but i think about it

#i've been saving so much for it that i paid off over like $2k in the last 2 or 3 months #it's just thinking about how the amount of interest goes off that drives me literally crazy #and my monthly amount i owe is like just under $120 #which to some people as a regular bill is more manageable than others. but as i have an irregular income #as a substitute teacher it's something that gives me a LOT of stress.#which is another reason i've been overpaying. in case something happens/i can't get a lot of work #it defers the next due date.#that way it's not urgent but yet i still *feel* it all the time #debt is a crazy kind of thing #and to think that my loans are from COMMUNITY college. two years. publicly owned #when i start taking classes again soon. i currently have enough saved that if i take like ONE class #i can pay out of pocket. and i think im only gonna take one class to start anyway #which will also help with the deferred payments #see i just fucking hate having to think practically about money like this #tales from diana #idk how ppl leave high school and go straight to live in a dorm room at a private university for four straight years #and rack up tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.#first of all that lifestyle was not accessible for me to begin with. even when paying it was such an abstract put-it-off thought #as it is for so many 18-year-olds who are told not to worry about where they apply.#but i had under $12k to repay when the student loan debt was unfrozen last fall #and it's been weighing on me soooo heavily since then. i think about it every damn day #it's like the money i make isn't even mine. it goes straight to mohela and food #keep in mind i also live w my parents & am on their health insurance so someday there'll be moooore bills!!!!

the literal ONLY problem with celeste's campaign coming off hiatus is that now my brain is gnawing on him again at all times

we finish a session and for the next week 80% of my brain is just

#i am truly depraved about this man in some sort of way #in my car rehearsing lines id like to say to patience next session #as if i can ever predict how convos are going to go skfhsnd #I'll always have some shit planned to say and then the dm takes us on a complete wild left turn from what i expect #i should just stop planning things #BUT i wont. and it gives me chances to practice his voice #which i settled back into last night #first night back in it was rough my accent was terrible but last night was good #personal

*squeezes aine this time*

Read my Yandere! Dottore fics first (⁎⁍̴̆Ɛ⁍̴̆⁎)

Chemistry ๑ Magnum Opus

So @ainescribe decided to surprise me with more Darling fan art, this time of Dottore’s Assistant!! *sobs* I love it so much ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡

Once again, feedback will be in the tags. Thank you so much for enjoying my writing, Aine <3

#feedback #fan art #ainescribe #AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE ( ；∀；)#THE FACT THAT YOU DREW THIS?? AND SO SOON?? give me a moment. i need to cry happily #fun fact aine has made jokes about assistant and 'dead-eyed desi trauma' so my first thought when seeing this fan art was #'wow you can rlly see the desi trauma in her eyes' xD i say this both jokingly and seriously cuz AHH HER EXPRESSION!!#it's hard for me to describe visual art + techniques but you did such a good job at depicting assistant's emotions #is it bc of the thicker line art used for the eyes + eyebrows?? the lil eyebags/ creases under her eyes?? the uneven shading for her irises #all of that combined with her jaded facial expression and body language?? idk but just know that i love this depiction of assistant #especially since her emotions are an important aspect of her character design (to me at least)#moving on i love your original design for her. once again it's always interesting to see how my readers imagine and depict my darlings #and the way you drew her including the pose and design....she looks like a character from an animated show or visual novel!!#just put her name. caption. and dialogue on the side then she's ready to be romanced. 100% the fan-favorite character <3 #i rlly like how you drew her hair!! it looks very fluffy and voluminous (sorry idk many terms for haircare either)#the scar is an interesting detail. makes me wonder if she got it before. during. or after the akademiya?? from an expedition/ experiment??#either way. ohohoho the potential....i imagine the scar serving as a lifelong reminder to assistant of what she has sacrificed for her #scientific curiosity and career. not to mention that the scar is located on her FACE which is 1) the body part most crucial to a person's #identity 2) makes the scar difficult to ignore. to the point that some people may recognize assistant's face mainly bc of her scar #poor assistant. at least dottore is one to appreciate such traits. i can see him administering first aid or lovingly tracing the scar......#moving on to her uniform. i love that it's practical but also stylish in its own way. a perfect balance methinks uwu #the patterned lapels. the lil brooch. the leather armbands. the fatui symbol. the tucked shirt and high-waist pants.....aaaahhhh i just #love these small details!! and it does look like smth which a fatuus would wear on the job~#i think that's all i have to say on assistant!! once again. thank you thank you THANK YOU FOR EXPRESSING YOUR LOVE FOR MY WRITING AND MY #DARLINGS!! it means the world to me and i'll always cherish our rambles and brainrot <3 #dottore x reader #yandere dottore x reader #yandere fatui harbingers #fatui x reader #genshin x reader

Actually is there any cure to feeling like I'm a failure of a person if I don't keep posting fic regularly. Like I know this is not a job or anything. It's just for fun. But with how most people comment only within a day or two of when something is posted, I end up with weeks and weeks of no comments, even when the hits on my works still go up, so it makes me feel rather forgotten.

Like idk. This is probably just feeling worse bc im apparently phenomenally neurotic today. But I wish people commented on older fics more.

#speculation nation #like it's not in my head it's the same thing. everyone experiences it.#theres a spike in new comments for the first day or two. by day 3 id be lucky to get 1 or 2. and beyond that?#well i do get some Sometimes but it's usually the stragglers in reading an update or the rare wonderful person who comments as they read #highlight on the rare. ive only had a handful of these types of people. wonderful when it happens. but it's not the rule.#no after day 4 of posting something new comments drop off into practically nothing. even as hits and kudos still go up.#so it's hard to not feel shitty about it. why do people think it's so bad to interact with older things?#it makes me feel like i Have to keep posting things just to have my writing be recognized.#and logically i know it's not like ppl dont love it anymore. clearly at least a few do.#the people who are supportive on my posts or reach out to me about it. you know.#but overall... idfk. mass majority of readers just dont interact after the first few days. if at all.#and it makes me feel so forgotten. like i have to be a fast fashion poster always and forever to keep ppl's attentions.#i dont want to write under that pressure. im so tired. and im Still grieving.#idk. i just feel so under appreciated. even though i know im one of the lucky ones with how sweet my readers are.#it's just... hard. when the vast majority of my readers dont bother to give back to me. even a little bit.#idk. i should probably stop thinking about it. im just making myself sad.

#I was chilling with some friends #and they were trying to set me up with someone they knew #and I have so many feelings #listen #my ex was my first and only in practically everything #pretty sure I’ve said that before #but the thought of being intimate with someone new?!#gives me massive butterflies but then it quickly turns to nauseous #like #I don’t trust people #I swear I’m gonna get in a new relationship and start to fall and then find out they’re cheating or something #I just know my next relationship isn’t going to be good #but I also need more experience with new romantic partners #im 25 and have only kissed one person #been on like 2 dates #I grew up being such a hopeless romantic #and always told myself I’m going to have a crazy and wild love story #but then I got stuck with a boy for years #and now I just feel so behind and out of it #dates??? if someone were to ask me out on a date I think I’d just straight pass away? like?#is that real???? or is it just in the movies 😂#anyway I’m still unsure about the person they were telling me about #but it just started giving me so many feelings about someone new in general #starting with loving myself obviously but it’s still fun to think about and daydream #shut up rosie
