the headache is here
gonna try to code again today

#lol#im done for today#i made progress...got stuck...#realized i couldnt do what i wanted to do with my current set up#looking at the alternate way to do it....#and now its time to learn react lol#i reached the point where its like...#this is getting complicated and the tutorials r kind of nonexistent#since everyone does these things with react fully#i wanted to learn more doing just vanillajs#before going to a framework#but this project is supposed to be more fun than frustrating#so its time to just move to that now shshgwh

no longer tiny joys tuesday but it's been a pretty rocky week so far so some things from today that have given me some encouragement:
washed my hair (<- always makes me feel less gross)
was productive (and it wasn't as much of a mental battle to focus/be productive like it was yesterday)! particularly in writing a lot of my journal spreads (something i've been behind on and takes a lot of effort for me to do), i did it while listening through a new playlist & drinking coffee & i enjoyed the whole process & am way more caught up
finished a drawing i started last night
read two more chapters of my book; i'm nearing the end and it's still so good ;;
spent some time (being productive) at a cafe with my brother :)
^ he & i watched another episode of hilda once we got home, while i ate a pb&j sandwich, and he's enjoying it and i'd forgotten how much of a comfort show it is for me :))
drove to/from the cafe And to/from the grocery store and! felt considerably less stressed about it than i have my previous driving trips!! also my brother is a very patient & great driving teacher & i am very grateful for him
spent the evening writing/editing poetry & making Processing journal spreads (which i haven't done in a Very Long Time [since...july??] it is. so so good for my brain.) & listening to new truth-music (anchor hymns <3) & feeling a bit more of God's comfort/compassion/grace than i have in awhile <3
#the driving! i noticed once we got back home that i think it was the least stressful trip yet :) and my brother commented 'you're getting#better and better! you're way smoother with the clutch now and you've made tons of progress :)'#whoooooo okay. yeah. this was nice to list#lots lots of emotions in my head & heart. helpful to recenter it all on some gratitude <3#i just finished eating dinner (really late but i got stuck in hyperfocus earlier sdlkjg) and now i'm gonna go back to art journaling#for the next few hours until i'm done/go to bed#love you all <3#elle rambles#also re my last point i know God's grace/compassion/presence is there even if i don't feel it. but.. it is nice to sense it a bit more some#times yknow ;;

i made the horrendous mistake of watching the start of an old rdr2 playthrough while taking a break from writing and it was possibly the worst decision i've ever made
#my mind is torn between western au and hockey au bc i can't stop thinking about sid crosby and nate mackinnon at the asg#(neither are what im writing for my exchange)#there are so many fics i want to read... but if i let myself pick them up before finishing this fic i will be proving my lack of selfcontro#ceil's ko-fi fic AND new chapter of the price fic????? i want them so BAD but i like actually just cannot let myself#i have good asks in my inbox but i canNOT let myself answer them#it took me soooo long to figure out what to do with this fic AND i have two abandoned drafts from when i first got my exchange person#so i've been stuck here for like. ever. with no progress made!!!!#((that's not true i've actually made a good amount of progress on this final draft but let me complain))#i am Not going to have time to edit as much as i usually like to btw so like. if it's a little rough around the edges NOBODY say smth#not that anyone would?? i've never gotten a bitchy “constructive criticism” comment but im terrified of them lmfao#welcome back to: venting in the tags#y'all im distractible and stressed

it also occurred to me like yesterday that in my kali/sil fic I’ve been writing I think I like, focused so hard on figuring out characterization and relationship dynamic accuracy and also just fighting for my life with the plot that I believe I neglected to like. Mention silvers sleepy boy situation like,,, at all. Maybe once offhandedly??? Like I didn’t forget it’s a part of him but I think somehow I just forgot to work it into the fic at all when it’s generally a pretty big part of his character 😭😭😭 like maybe it’s bc we’ve been in book 7 and it hasn’t come up in the dream zone (I forget if he mentioned if he’s just not sleepy boy in the dream realms, probably lol) so maybe that’s why I forgot??? But even then I literally went to some of the vignettes to study how he talks with kalim and the sleepies does come up in those examples….. I feel like it’s just something I was like “yeah yeah that’s a given I need to figure out the rest of him rn tho cuz he’s more than just a sleepy guy” so hard that it slipped my mind completely….. I went too hard in the other direction….
#I’m???? I need to reread AGAIN next time I sit down to work#on the next chapter but like#the realization hit me yesterday or whatever#AND IT’S SO EMBARASSING IF TRUE LIKE GIRL HKW DID WE MESS UP THAT BADLY#like sure I can see maybe some fics don’t need to cover every little detail#but this is multichannel fic where he’s supposed to be a co protagonist …..#I GOOFED IT LADS …..#I literally. like I get so stressed writing for that one bc like#I know I’m mutuals / have ppl following me that are big diasomnia fans#so I’m like if I slip up on ANY of the characterization I’ll be killed for this#AND YET SOMEHOW ONE OF THE SIMPLEST THINGS I JUST….. DIDNT DO…#unless I did add it in and I’m just forgetting every instance lol but. p sure I didn’t.#HEAD IN MY HANDS TOP 10 MOST EMBARASSING FANFIC BLUNDERS NOOOO#another one is when I wrote security cauldron and forgot they took like teleportation magic there#and I was like uhhh I remember mention of Publix transit in book 4 so sure they probs took a bus to Vargas camp#NO THEY DIDNT!!!!#in my defense tho I wrote that one before I was posting to ao3 it was one I wrote just for my friend and me#that I later stuck on ao3 so super accuracy wasn’t on my mind then lol#anyway cries sobs screams silver I’m so sorry I love you so much this is so embarrassing forever#anyway I looked on ao3 just now and saw that fic has 25 subscriptions and I got scared LOL#i have made progress but I’m so so so scared always lol#but I love my lil guys so I’ll see it thru…. eventually …#if I ever recover from this blunder lol 😭#AAAAUUUGGGHHHHHHHHHH

Purple slugcat in the middle belongs to my buddy @upr0ar!
#my art#rain world#friend's OC#rw survivor#with a generous amount of hand holding while streaming on discord#i have finally made progress in rain world#prior to said blessed guidance by my friend i some how got lost and found myself pretty deep in submerged superstructure#dont ask about it it's fine im really really good at getting lost and being exactly where im not supposed to be#rain world got a lot more fun when i realized that i can do whatever i want and play with an obtuse amount of mods + other assists#anyways rip my first 3 lizards#taffy jumped off a cliff#trapped fern in a room it couldn't climb out of#and penk got stuck behind a karma gate#ironically i have the least amount of images for taffy bc i didn't expect him to. jump off and despawn like that#fanart

#love that my body decided to incapacitate me the weekend before i have to read 5 different papers for classes#and it would b one thing to just read them but no for 3 of them i have to give detailed interpretation and 1 i have to present on#ive already failed to read one bc i forgot we had to do 2 papers for monday. oops. not that i could have done it anyway. i barely got 1 done#and im on track to fucking up the one due Tomorrow as well#im just fucking tired of reading fucking chemistry driven papers that i dont understand no matter how many times i read them#and everyones like oh itll get easier but no it fucking wont bc i cant fucking read right#its so fucking frustrating. why do i even bother? im so tried#i don't even have the paper im supposed to present on so ill have to do it all tomorrow. cool. great. not that i could do it today anyway#im just. this is gonna b a difficult week#and i misused my whole day by doing extractions bc i scheduled my training a week ago when i thought i would b fine over the weekend#nope. its fucking bullshit. this is y im like. y do i even want to b in academia?#how could i b a prof if i cant read well? its fine to b dyslexic as a math person but im like i have to read so much and so little gets thru#but then what the fuck else am i supposed to do? idk. im just gonna write down something for all these questions and go tf to sleep#ill get up at some horrible time in the morning to finish this. damn the consequences. ill see my therapist tomorrow anyway#and meet with my advisor like 🤪 yo guess what i made zero progress this week#sorry u got stuck with me while im going thru a year of fucking health problems#but whatever cant get rid of me now im already here. here and tired and i wanna go to bed#unrelated

sometimes i remember traumatic moments in my life and i’m kind of stunned by how detached i am from them now
#those things used to make me feel so sick and cry for hours and hours#i don’t know if i’ve necessarily healed from them#i’m very big on detaching my emotions from things and every therapist has pointed that out#so i talk about them like they’re just. stories#but they just feel so far away? and i am so different than i was in college that i feel like a different person#i think somewhere along the way i started separating my life by these ‘versions’ of myself#so it feels like i’m not the same person as i was when x happened. and the person who experienced y is different.#my last therapist was adamant that my biggest concern was my ptsd#which makes sense. especially now that i have this detachment from my own memories happening#despite everything i have made so much progress#the person i was 5 years ago scares me#the person i was 3 years ago mortifies me#i never want to return to those low points. i had a therapist tell me that the brain remembers the worst it gets and can remember#how to get back to that low point. and that was why i was hospitalized (cut off the episode with medication so i didn’t kill myself)#but that stuck with me because i’m so afraid of reaching that point again. it’s sick that my ex got me into therapy and on meds before#he did all that though :)#rambling to feel better

spoke to my mother before coming to visit the other day and out of the blue she was like oh btw your brother has bought himself a banjo
#if i could describe my brother people would understand just how funny it is#huge respect to banjos and their players but he has tried drums guitar piano#in his time#none of them have stuck#now he's an 18yo tradie and hes got a banjo.#every evening is just bong bong bong through my wall#he goes to work. comes home. eats dinner. banjo time#has not yet played a full tune just sits in his bed with his fancy banjo#hes the type of guy to think of new interests and never follow through#like boxing. bjj. praying mantis ownership#etcetera#and the only one he's made progress towards is banjo playing??????#there are few things that unite my family nowadays but the endless comedy of my brother and his banjo is one of them#bong bong bong. happening live. go onnn

Of course, when I'm trying to sleep at 3am is when I finally figured out how to fix that transition scene that I've been stuck on for months, thank god I have docs on my phone
#ace writes sometimes#writing process#GG#C16: frosted affair#those transition/bridge bits at the start of and end of chapters dont tend to trip me up for this fic#but for some reason i have been struggling to make any progress on this one for golden girl its been a nightmare i constantly get stuck#and just when i think ive got it i get stuck again and every time i try to come back to it i still have no resolution#for where i got stuck last time#id already shut everything down for the night accepted i still wasnt going to make any progress#did a little reading in bed before finally deciding nah im going to sleep now so of course not even ten minutes later#my brain is giving me a play by play resolution to whats been haunting for whats probably going on nearly a year now for just this part#i was trying to ignore it but i couldnt risk it so i had to grab my phone and transcribe it before all was lost#obviously the solution was weather talk in true british fashion 🙄#but hey ho progress has been made! thats something at least#this is why i have the damn google docs app on my phone in the first place for all the times ive inconveniently been attacked by scenes

i will be a hater for a minute. i hate the whole 'ohh i was too mature for my age as a kid but now i'm immature as an adult' cause never once have i seen anyone talk about the case where you were never mature. i never at all felt it or was on the same level with our peers at any point in life and that's a very different experience. the very few things we were into as a kid/teen were always juxtaposed with the things others were doing that were wiser and more sensible and more in touch with. whatever expectations are in place and whatever is gauged as mature
#MAKING IT VERY CLEAR RN NO HATE 2 PPL WHO DO FEEL REPRESNTED BY THOSE 😭 but that's all i ever see#'make yr own post abt it then' idont think i will. im not one to start these conversations im just saying with how common That statement is#its weird that no one ever talks abt This one#but i suppose theres not many of us#idk. at least ya got 2 feel jus a bit superior over others n feel a bit more 'grown' (ik its all bullshit but yk. it can b flatterin 2 hear)#me? i been team idiot since da start. idid not progress i did not improve i did not regress im just. stuck oh mt gawd im actually losing it#i actually cant handlw myseld or this life im actually breakin down so bad LOL#ok im ok. anyway im just. this is similar 2 lile 'oh my trauma made me Stronger/mature for my age/wtv' all sams thing and#wr have literally never got to experience that either. we are literally incapacitated by our trauma we are meek and lifeless and so so#afraid and helpless and dependent to the point even escaping the environment is an insurmountable task#no one talks about thia though why does bo one talk about this ...#im like if a 21yo girl was mentally age 7

I like Timo, the person. I've watched your art grow over the years n I understand the feeling of deep shame at the core of your existence which is truly comprised of only your experiences... It is hard to shake the feeling, I am sorry you carry its weight.
I hope that you can get to a new part of the world, wherever your future takes you, as everyone deserves to live outside of their hometown at least once, if they want. People are not meant to be alone, yet a lot of us are, and it makes us sick. It makes it hard to be alive when we need others to live; we are social creatures. It feels good to be known, and even if I do not know you as your physical self, I think it is a nice and modern thing to be able to be seen for your mind and thoughts first and foremost .
Your art carries a kindred feeling to it that feels to be a universal human expression that appears over time; a lot of the psychological dynamics of your art over time is very familiar, I don't know how to describe that though. Emotional space reflected through this furry symbology lens is something that exists beyond furry, but is very powerful.
As myself a human being trans furry and also once a lesbian, and a very dissociative person, I wish you best of luck and know that you are part of my world in a way that is very abstract from the online space, but i respect you from this long time through being a teenager and now an adult.
I wish you a good New Year, and I wish your future self to visit you in good health in a dream until you become them. 🎆
When you meet your people I hope you can take a deep breath in true community, wherever it may be out there yet unknown by you
i have read this ask several times, i keep coming back to it. it makes me tear up. just the fact alone that someone decided to give such a thoughtful reply to my messy drunk venting... thank you. thank you so much for taking your time to reach out to me, to write all of that. youre very kind.
i also wish you a good new year, may it show you the same kindness you had shown me ⛅️
#i know i will be moving out as soon as i graduate. just a couple more months#i got so used to living in dorms and regularly showing up at places where i could meet my friends#being stuck at home feels weird now#and as of being ashamed of myself... i know i wont be like this forever. i have already made a lot of progress#yet it still feels overwhelming at times#i will stumble but one day i will no longer feel like the shame is inherent. i dont have to live like this#and it makes me happy that my art has any impact on other people#and that it might feel familiar to someone#asks#anon#it feels abstract to know theres an unnamed face wishing me luck. but i will remember it forever

hi fallen london fandom have a sketch of my oc
Name: The Restless Collector. Age: ???(young-ish) Gender:???????????? -Ambition: Bag a Legend -Has always been a bit off on the human scale (and will become a whole lot more inhuman once I up monstrous anatomy and finish my Ambition (hehe third city veils is going into the brine)) -Actually got put in prison after repeatedly getting into bar fights on the surface -H u n g r y -Based off that one silhouette with the disheveled hair and hat (didn’t bother pulling up image refs so I just kind of visualized a suitable outfit)
#anyways i've had a fallen london account for 5 years but have only been playing for around 2#got stuck on that one part that involves getting fireworks from the Widow and I needed a bribe I couldn't get since I wasnt a PoSI then#kinda slowly lost interest since no progress was being made#now im back though! and have progressed#though now im occupied with the horticultural show turned war#anyways I hoped this didn't like break any fandom oc rules#i like to imagine how my oc would be in the future since I'm not at endgame yet and wont be for a while due to being f2p#fallen london#fallen london oc#bag a legend spoilers#just in case#estival 2023#my art#original content
