Angdiirn is honestly the most patient person in existence, because it has spent the last 20 years living happily in a burrow in the frozen armpit of the continent before it got illithidnapped
and it ends up being elected leader against its will primarily because it keeps mediating between Shadowheart and Lae'zel (both of whom it keeps desperately trying to cede responsibility and authority too, as the most opinionated and strong-willed women in the group until they pick Karlach up) which means everyone keeps deferring to it whenever a decision comes up
no matter how hard it tries to pass that buck, everyone keeps cheerfully passing it right back, so SOMEHOW it ends up being the person in charge of this whole mess
meanwhile it is over 1000 miles away from its home, it doesn't know shit about fuck down here, and it has a wretched headache the entire time because it's not used to being out in the daylight
so honestly under the circumstances i think it would be completely justified in just going beast mode and biting everyone who tries to talk to it the entire time
Do any of y'all have adhd and bipolar or know of any good accounts of what having both is like? I've noticed that I've been having some seriously abnormal moods recently, and the more I look into it, the more I think that it looks a lot like bipolar, but I'm not sure how it would interact with my adhd, or even if there's anything other than my adhd going on at all. Feel free to DM me if you don't want to talk about it publicly
On my way out of work just now (important, it is 4am) I overheard this chick on the phone say “idk girl he has got to have a weird dick or something. I don’t fucking care tho, because I WILL suck that shit like a silly straw”
And um anyways some of the siblings say that about the Ghouls ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Had to fix my sleep schedule for Monaco, right? And I'm like ah I should probably continue on like this bcs of Spain and then after that I'll have to have a normal sleep schedule for actual reasons. But then I somehow just ended up going straight back to being nocturnal again after Monaco ended 🫠
Eggtober 20
Minimalist Shakshuka
Clip Studio Paint, Gouache Brush, Gouache Blender, 13 colors, around 30 minutes on and off.
Started my egg, got sidetracked, got sleepy, realized it was bed time and I had not finished my egg!
Vibes based only, not detail based compared to my last piece. And I kind of dig it this way. 3 Eggs, a seemingly endless expanse of sauce, just a hint of herbaceous color. I actually love how the minimalism and fast strokes and layering made the egg whites turn out. Yellower yolks than my usual for a pop! Speaking of which. Minimalist bubbles are so fun. Just a pale color, a circle, and then a little dot and a C for the highlights.
As ever, as traditional, a big thanks to @quezify for organizing Eggtober. This whole gouache thing works so well for minimalist pieces and for detailed pieces. Even when I’m sleepily rushing out an egg to stay on track, it’s a fun and lax sort of rush. More of an “Ah, right, my egg.” than an “OH NO! I DIDN’T DO MY EGG AAAAH! PANIC!” Approached this with the same energy I take to brushing my teeth. Sleepy, but focused. Good vibes. “Make a pretty egg, brush them teeths, and conk the heck out.” Eggtober is so Zen.
