#psychology is my passion

[fishyfishyfishtimes]

Can I just say that it’s so cool that people have all of these different interests? This sounds a bit silly to say but. I just think it’s so cool that there’s people out there who enjoy tasks I hate doing, find so many amazing things to love in things that I would consider to be boring. I don’t find dental science as interesting as biology, but there’s people who love dental science and want to make a career out of it the same way I want to make a career out of biology and environmental science! And we need both types of people and even more people who like even more things!

It comforts me in a way, because I know that even if I don’t get into environmental science and limnology someone else will, and if I don’t end up working with aquaculture systems someone else will, and if I don’t end up working with fishes someone else will. And if I don’t do any of it at all then there’s no doubt someone doing it!

I find your work eithic towards drawing really admirable! I've been following you for awhile and it seems like you draw daily (if I'm not mistaken)? Do you naturally have a passion towards drawing or did you have to build that into a habit? How often do you burn out, and do you have any tips for avoiding burn out? BTW love your work to bits and I wish you the best with your comics <3

Just a natural passion. I've been drawing every day since I was a little kid and then brought it with me into adulthood. I'm simply happy when I'm drawing.

I do have burnouts sometimes but most of them are linked to emotions. Being too overjoyed or upset or tired is enough to ruin my ability to think for a week or longer.

And I do have a few ways of avoiding my burn outs (i don't know if they work for everyone but perhaps you'll find some of them useful):

If you feel like you will be tired very soon - stop. You might still have ideas you want to draw but it's best to just write them down for now and take a break

Draw something you know you're good at. Something that's easy and enjoyable. I love redesigning and coloring so I usually draw MLP and try different colors and shapes on them. Don't be afraid to mess up

Stop creating and start consuming. Watch a movie or a TV show or read a book or play a game maybe go to a museum or an art gallery

And the most important tip: when you're on a break DON'T think about things you're working on. At all. Maybe you have a big drawing you need to finish or a comic or an animation or any other project no matter how big or small it is. Let your brain detach from it completely for some time it needs it.

I think that's all I have and thank you so much!!

Our beloved local outdoor summer musical theater venue is doing Les Mis this summer and they're looking for 20 extra singers from the symphony chorus to fill out the ensemble on "Do You Hear the People Sing," "One Day More," and the finale -- it would basically involve a couple of days of intensive rehearsals (necessitating two days of vacation time) and a week of performances, it's after the symphony season is over, and it would allow me to do something I've dreamed of since I was ten.

So why am I waffling about it? Oh right, it's my mother's voice in my head. (It's probably also that recovering from covid has got me worried that my voice won't come back--even just with the symphony there's so much amazing stuff happening this season)

eta: it's actually 10 days that we need to be available for rehearsals, I think, which would make it a lot less doable for me, but idk if the supers need to be there the whole time -- I guess I'll go to the interest meeting in a couple of weeks and find out. We get 180 hours of vacation time a year but I will actually need to take a real vacation at some point

why selfcare is important!!

i know this is way different from what i normally post, but as someone who’s been feeling a little down i want to make sure everyone else is okay!!

selfcare isn’t just washing your face and brushing your teeth (although it helps, imo) but also checking up on yourself and improving mental health! meditating, checking your stress levels, and limiting social media usage are great ways to make sure you’re mentally doing okay, and just remember that it’s okay to be down sometimes. my dms are always open if anyone needs to vent or talk, and make sure to check up on those you care about!! much love <3

Oh yeah so yesterday I was working on a Psychology project where we had to diagnose a movie or TV show character

And I think just out of context, my project being about a guy named Captain Sunshine dealing with PTSD just sounds funny

Everyone talking about adopting Palestinian kids needs to read Scott Carney’s The Red Market and a brief definition of genocide outside of the physical destruction of lives.

wiwi whats ur favorite horror movie? or genre of horror?

Well, I don’t tend to watch horror movies all that often. They remind me too much of Deadwood, even if Deadwood has sorta desensitized me to some of the more fucked up things in horror.

I guess I like psychological horror, and my life already feels like a survival horror game half the time if that counts.

Not sure if this is a horror movie, but I like the Nightmare Before Christmas. Halloween AND Christmas? I’m pretty sure that’s better than prom night but I never got to go to prom so what do I know.
