[tearystarz]

Visited @samealoogobi 's cyberpop showroom and had to style with my cyber muse for this one!✨️👽👾

Tried video editing as a noob but hey, I'm learning!! Maybe expect more vid edits?

[shdwtouch]

once again tossing around the idea of making a multi for my original characters. I'm just. hesitant. and feel anxious when I start to really think about it. worry it'll fail. worry people won't want to interact with my ocs. worry I won't have enough muse or motivation for it. worry some muses will fall to the wayside. :c it's a hard line to walk.

thoughts on myhouse.wad, from someone who has never played doom

spoilers, obviously. also genre-typical mind fuckery, maybe. youve been warned

as the title of the post suggests, i have never had any association with doom in my life.

i literally only have sufficient knowledge of this mod because of mindlessly scrolling through tumblr yesterday, and stumbling upon a link to power pak's video essay on the game. seemed interesting enough, i supposed.

perhaps it was not the best idea to watch the entire thing despite warnings to play it blind beforehand, but i did so anyway, justifying it with my aforementioned lack of background with the base game and anything surrounding it. but narrative and technical genius of the mod aside--theres probably so many posts across all manners of sites about that--its just...really inspiring as a passion project. the tributes to both the creator's deceased friend and the doom modding community as a whole is perhaps even more touching to me precisely because it's a circle i was never a part of. celebrating something that brings joy by creating and sharing with others who are, too, pouring their hearts in a similar manner, is just such an innately human experience regardless of what that thing is, and even though its not representative of the scene as a whole, im glad i got to at least slightly understand the object of the creator's passion, and how it ties into his experiences and the bonds he shared.

on an unrelated note...ive noticed that when i search for the game on google, youtube, or the like, the search autofill will erraneously suggest "myhouse.was." a simple mistake by perhaps either too many people making hurried typos or the engine itself "correcting" the searches, but...i think it adds to it. the house indeed was a lot of things. an unfinished project by a nerd inspired by other nerds, a place likely full of unspoken pain. a safeguard for remnants of old memories.

you really dont see art like this every day.

most of these are vague and that’s on purpose. many may not be conducive with a thread, and length will vary. trying to keep to 100-150 words, but some may go over. if you have any context you’d like to add, feel free! this is all for fun!! :D

i’ve tried to avoid this with as many prompts as possible, but a handful may also require some plotting… in that case, i will reach out to you if we haven’t plotted much.

how does one make an unbiased tier list

[mmxstrangers]

Okay... NOW I’m back.

[fandom-space-princess]

Realizing today how much more peaceful my life has become since I taught myself to stop equating permanence with value. Allowing people and passions the space to pass into and out of my life naturally has honestly done wonders for my mental health.

///Just a little (I mean, a lot) of extra information about me, the mun, along with a reason for this information.  I have a lot of pre New52 DC comic knowledge. And the DCAU. (the Timm cartoons! Not every animated DC thing is a part of the DCAU, think of it as like the MCU and the X-men movies not being canon to them?) I’ve played all of the Arkham games and i am sad that I can’t play origins on PS4. =( Years ago, I roleplayed DCAU Bruce Wayne, Terry Mcginnis, and Mr. Freeze. Arkham Verse Batman (with some divergence, wasn’t pleased with the ending.) and Riddler. With my SO I played like half of the old JLI roster. I felt the most attached to my DCAU muses, and even considered remaking my Terry Mcginnis blog before coming back here.  I also have read a lot of the Green Lantern Corps. comics from before new 52. just around the time other lantern colors started showing up. Then the blackest night/brightest day comics after. And I have played DCUO for years, still play it! And just *before* Superior Spider-man I had read every single issue of Amazing Spider-man. (now with my ADHD, i can misremember some things but ive retained most of it because it was a special interest.) I did read all of the first bursts of Spider-verse comics and Spider-man/Deadpool official comics. Read Miles’ first Spider-man run. Watched into the Spider-Verse. (hands down my favorite superhero movie at all. Closely followed by Spider-man No Way Home) And watched every other Spider-man movie.  (I do not like the concept of superior spider-man. I was reading for PETER not Doc Oct. =/ they did my boy dirty.) I’ve played the first PS4 game and have been meaning to play the second, because I also love Miles to pieces.  I used to roleplay PS4 game Peter Parker, with of course some divergences.  The last superhero thing I have extensive knowledge about is, Miraculous. I’ve played Marinette. Waiting for the next disaster season. The point is that I have a lot of love for comic muses. I know a lot about the background of the base universes of these kinds of muses. I think due to the fact that multiverse is a thing for all of these (except Miraculous *for now*) and the fact that Danny is a superhero who has been to other universes in some media, is at least in part why I’m so into the idea of crossovers for muses with these fandoms. (the other reasons being that I just love those muses and i’m kinda almost forced to do *mostly* crossover rp in general.) anyway, the ADHD has taken hold and I’m just gonna keep going on if I don’t stop. So, I’ll go back to getting my kitchen cleaned for breakfast/lunch.

Finally at the train <- will not be home for 40 minutes

[protect-namine]

I was going through my bookmarks and I found so many works that are like:

like, sure, author's prerogative I guess. BUT WHAT WERE THEY

if an author wants to remove their fic from the archive, that's their choice, but I wish there was some way to know what fics were removed from my bookmarks so I can mourn them

[illuminatedgod]

( 🐮 ) ― my internet is...spotty at best tonight (and hasn't been much better the past couple days bcuz storm) but i am going to try to work on drafts n maybe send some stuff out!!

[curseofbreadbear]

gonna try & get to more things in a second (maybe make those perma-calls too) but real quick-

can i get everyone's input on some f.naf world muses bc iiii have brainrot.

[librarycards]

pls ignore this is its too weird or too much labor, but i was wondering if you maybe had any tips or resources for ppl who have creative desires like writing but brain fog and fatigue tends to get in the way?

i do! it may not work for you bc people have very random/unexpected ways of dealing with this, but it's *very* common and there is hope :) [i think a lot of this is applicable across form, but i'm using "writing" here because it's what i'm familiar with]

one way is to be strategic about timing: this includes thinking about when you're least foggy/have the most energy, and/or the most "downtime" where there isn't anything in particular you need to do. many people wake up early so that they have alone time before their responsibilities. some people stay up late to write. i tend to do my daily writing (which I elucidate on below) in the evenings, around 7-10pm. whatever works, works!

relatedly: scheduling/routine is, for me, critical. i think it is for a lot of creative ppl. I write every day, in multiple ways: i keep a journal - i've done this since i was like 12, so it's as ingrained as brushing my teeth and i don't really think about it - and also work on some aspect of my current longest project [so, for the last 4 years, it's been the aforementioned second novel; for the 4ish years before that, it was Failure to Comply. i write other stuff during the daytime, of course, because writing is also my job(s). but if you're looking to establish a consistent creative practice, you don't need to be aiming for a certain hour or word count.

Instead: Aim for consistency and progress. Not perfection, not a "muse," not magic. There is no shame in making something that doesn't seem good, or that you end up deleting. in this particular instance, "perfect is the enemy of good" is 10000% true, and i think especially applicable to people who already experience external + internalized ableist ideologies on a daily basis. your art, regardless of what it is, should be a space where you get to make mistakes, change your mind, and learn new things. it should be something you can come to when you're tired, unsure, confused, scared, etc, even if it means just keysmashing and then closing your notes app for the day.

for me, having a daily practice, regardless of anything, means embracing the days where i write only one word and then despair, as well as the days i write pages. when i feel most depressed, in a very clinicized sense, i try to move from "everything i make now is going to be shitty :(" to "everything i make now is going to be shitty :)", not because i'm happy about it, but because....that's simply part of creating. everything is a bodily function. if you're not feeling good, maybe your poop will look weird. so too with writing. but you still do it. it can be mechanical. but it'll happen, and by doing it consistently, you give yourself the *opportunity* to locate insight hitherto buried, to have an idea creep up on your tiredself.

i guess in sum I'd say that the healthiest thing i ever did for my writing is something tantamount to body neutrality, which has also been an immensely positive addition to my set of frameworks for physical embodimindment. creative neutrality, i guess. this doesn't mean i don't tie my ego and personhood to work/productivity/quality. i mean, i totally do, and it sucks, but there we are. but it also means that i place that in a corner that does not touch my desire to chip away at something big, regularly. i make time every day to summon the urgency of whatever i'm working on, not because i'm proud of it at that moment, but because i want to give it another opportunity to give me something cool.

tl:dr: give yourself the gift of consistency and time, and don't be scared of making stuff that isn't good, or gets deleted, or doesn't make sense. write from wherever you want, physically, mentally, spiritually. give it the opportunity & even the expectation to happen and then work from there.
