Taking a short hiatus

Hey y'all!!

For a while now I've been considering stepping back from posting/drawing to take some time for myself. For a while now I've been feeling drained and kinda unmotivated. I'm stuck in a rut and have been for the majority of 2024. I've been on and off with my motivation but found that I've been overall unhappy with my art.

I feel like my passion has been dwindling, and I know forcing myself to draw and post won't motivate me to continue doing what I love. Though I've had trouble stepping back due to the fact I've basically conditioned myself to draw and post as often as possible, which has done nothing but stress me out and make me feel like I'm failing when I can't muster the motivation to draw for even a single day.

So, after a lot of thinking, I've decided that I'm going to step back and take a (hopefully short) hiatus so that I can get myself out of this rut and rediscover my passion for art. I don't know how long this hiatus will last but I can guarantee it won't be super long.

This break is meant to be a time where I can stop worrying about posting often and/or consistently to instead focus on myself and what I want to do. Constantly stressing about posting has severely stunted my ability to grow and learn as an artist. While I have been improving, I've also been stuck in my 'comfort zone' which stresses me out severely. I feel like if I stay here any longer I'll only have more trouble in the long run. I feel like my rut will only worsen and I'll lose my passion for art completely. I need to step back and start drawing for myself again instead of worrying about what I think people will want to see from me.

Nowadays I feel like I'm too focused on pleasing others, hence why I'm hesitant to change in a way that might turn people away from what I do/draw and have been sticking to what got people interested in my art. I'm only human, so my tastes and interests are bound to change over time, and not everyone will like that. I feel like I'm too busy playing it safe instead of pushing myself to explore ideas that I've been wanting to try for years. I want to do my own thing again.

Tl;dr I will be taking a short hiatus to focus on myself and my art. So goodbye for now ✌️ I'll be back when I feel like I'm ready to return.

Just came to say that I really love your art and I think you're really skilled. It must have taken a LOT of time and effort to get to where you are! I also think you're really good at creating atmosphere in your stuff, it's pretty cool :]

How nice of you to stop by here, just to give me a compliment! Thank you very much! (;﹏;)<3333 I think it's the same for every artist, but I feel like I still have a lot to learn most of times haha.

I think I'm at the point where I really need to simmer down with a lot of my writing. I've been pushing myself to write posts for this blog almost every day. While I have no qualms when I have the time and energy to do so, as the days go by and my brain is being drained more and more, I need to give myself more breaks and not force myself to try to pump out written content daily. I'm in the final weeks of this semester, so assignments continue to pile up leading to finals, and it's all heavily involved in writing, which I'm already incredibly slow at as it is. I really don't want to end up crashing and burning creatively when I have so much I want to write for Rain Code yet not as much time (this happened before about two years ago when I overworked myself while writing for my DBD ask blog; Rain Code brought me outta that burnout).

The summer probably won't be much better since I'll be basically taking on an internship, two college classes, and weekend work shifts. It's not gonna be lemon-squeezy easy, so that means less and less time I have to work on personal projects and posts for this blog. Believe me, I don't wanna stop creating content for Rain Code and rambling to my heart's content, but making things like fics, voiceovers, and whatever else forms in my brain at 2 AM means I have to spend my creative freedom wisely. I wanna make a buncha fun stuff, but it requires moments where I will be trading time making regular posts to working on bigger projects instead.

It sounds stupid that not posting my writing/rambling daily is an absolutely awful thing that makes me crumple up like a used napkin, cause it is undeniably stupid. This exact post probably only really matters to me anyway, cause I know deep down that everyone will be fine with me posting less and taking my time, so I guess this is just a reminder for myself if nothing else. I've been in this pattern before, I know how it goes, but it doesn't make me feel any less sad or overwhelmed that my sheer love for a piece of media has to be put on the backburner.

I don't think anyone will notice changes in my posting habits, anyway. I'll still answer asks in a timely manner and make short posts about music or multi-fandom stuff regarding Danganronpa or Ace Attorney or whatever else I find myself gettin' into these days. It's just an internal shift that would probably go unseen, and I don't mind that. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I just wanted to say I love that you mass reblog old borderlands art and fics every so often. When I see it on my dash it brings back good memories of when I was neck deep in the fandom and had friends I would talk about the games and fan works with. I also used to read your fics a lot. I should get back into that haha. Anyway I hope you’re having a good day and thank you for continuing to post!

AWWW YISSS well here's even more anon! :D ahahah xD i'm glad like its like walking down memory lane lololol

cohost finally falling over before i ever brought myself to use it mostly just makes me remember i should be posting here more often instead of just rebloggin away happily

[themostsanebug]

mutuals im so sorry for the pokemon rebloggin im just severely ill and trying to motivate myself to put down tumblr and finish my save file,, (i got my ass kicked in by one of the team star bosses yesterday and now im sad i actually have to go train my teammm,,)

[oh-no-plz-no]

this is crazy i'm like a real guy to you guys? i've always just thought of myself as a nameless faceless blob rebloggin stuff i like

[sarkos]

I've joked before about how much of my queue is LycoReco, but I had a talk with a friend that convinced me how silly feeling self-conscious about what I'm posting is, Admittedly, the talk was me being hesitant to post a joke that required knowing about my favorite japanese teen girl lesbian assassin cartoon, the Kentucky Fried Movie, and an obscure pop band that dissolved maybe a decade ago, and he responded "When have you ever expected anyone to get your jokes?" A full six notes later, and I consider it a success. Again, I just made a joke that asked someone to remember the name of a character on Barney Miller, so I'm feeling a little sturdier about that.

Relatedly, I've gone through this with Lain, and restricted myself to one Lain a day, but that also came from a previous decision to also treat this blog as an extension of my Mind Palace, and make a conscious attempt to not make the same post twice.

Now, for an anime series I'm into that ended two years ago, there's a finite number of posts, and no matter what Heraclitus might say, I still get the same reaction to seeing the same pictures, and considering that Time and Mercy are equally alien concepts to me, I'm okay rebloggin the same post a couple of times as I'm crawling around in these tags.

As I liveblogged a stream of the Stage Show, I offer that as proof of how into these girls I am, as I famously fell asleep in the middle of watching a production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolff?

(I do disambiguate, as LycoReco is tied for favorite lesbian assassin anime with Noir, and no-one can make me choose between Kirika and Chisato.)

So, like- I realize I've been rebloggin' a handful of writing stuff without actually posting anything writing myself so- Y'all I need inspiration 🙏🏽 - send me what you want in asks and I'll craft something with this inactive glob of matter in my head 🧠

Doesn't even have to be writing prompts- character questions, my headcanons on other shit, literally whatever bc I seriously need to be more involved in the tumblr community

[frick-it-sugar-spice]

cool so i was all amped up for makin' this shit and then baby-doll-thoughts goes silent

i don't know what my deal is, i just know somewhere between watching hazbin and waking life i got gripped hard as fuck

if you wanna call it in-character/character bastardization/kinnie shit go for it i got no fucken clue what to call it it is a Situation I Am Not Addressing

obviously not for the youth or little types, it's angel dust and hazbin hotel.

blog runner is legally an adult and has been (HA) for a while. call me whatever you want, baby, probably past caring but if there's a need for specifics it'll get tagged or updated

definitely horny blogging sin-

ce this seems to be the whole reason my thoughts got hijacked by this twink ass

💕

Rebloggin' posts is the best love language on tumblr by the way! if ya see art or fic or posts you like from folks, do 'em a favour and reblog. it ain't happenin as much anymore and it breaks my heart to see all these cool fanworks with hundreds 'a notes and only 2 reblogs.

#quit eavesdropping toots is the tag for talkin at myself/more outer hell stuff, less cyber hell stuff

#art ain't the only thing im good at ;) is the tag for art ive drawn and fic I've written, both

[hanasnx]

hello??? are we kissing right now???? cus if you keep double rebloggin i don’t know if i’ll be able to hold myself back meep.

i double reblog when i really cant stop thinking about a post like some times i reblog and forget. so your shit is memorable asf to me we can totally kiss. meep.

[silvercaptain24]

Silver; you can fight me and disagree with me and my opinion all you want-

But you won’t change it.

Now see. I was thinking about just, rebloggin the other one- or even considering calling a loving hours for you, but I decided hey, I have words- I’ll use them.

Now first of all, timezone sharer, have thou hydrated?

Get, lovingly, bonked. 🗞️🗞️🗞️

You are, amazing.

I don’t get why I have good Wars angst. It’s not the greatest, and I have stuff to improve on, yes- but we all have things like that.

You, by far, make amazing stuff- you are THE wars person, and you write, in a way that hurts. But positively.

To be fair, I was never- NEVER going to touch Wars. I was never going to write for him, and then I found you. Your writing, your ideas.

Painful, but amazing.

You’ve made some pretty good things, I know I haven’t read everything you’ve made, and shared- but I will. I’ll go past Wars, and linked universe, to read your stuff.

You have amazing things to write and share,

And you’re just- amazing.

You give out hugs, with the occasional bunny, which- I love.

You’re just- there. Being kind, and just- yes.

I love seeing your stuff, and being able to share some of my own stuff with you.

You have an amazing voice, and you’re just- one of the coolest.

Maybe not everybody loves, or thinks the way I do.

But I’m glad to see you around.

I’m glad you’re here.

Because you’ve helped me. You’ve helped me a lot.

And I’m not sure about you- but I’m not going anywhere yet.

Thank you, big sis.

<3

I don’t

hey sorry for just barging into ur asks randomly but i was reading the dash and saw you rebloggin a post from @\sysmemes and they are a sysmed :(

folds hands. ok. op i appreciate the concern & telling me this bc i& didnt know this earlier but like. i& dont. i& dont know what u want us& to do about that. the post specifically was about antisemitism & how ppl downplay & watering down really serious language; them being an exclus doesnt really negate that fact. like. maybe this is just my& compassion fatigue talking but like. i& may be m.ultigenic & also h.c-d.id but in the end we're& ultimately s.yscourse aligned. any system is welcome here as long as they don't bash other systems regardless of origins, fakeclaim them unless if sb has literally said they're faking or spreads misinfo on cdds. i have pro endos, endo neutrals & surprisingly enough some antiendos that follow me which is wild but. ig its just how it is. mostly bc like. i& can't find myself& to care. like. leave me& out of any nonsense bc this isnt a syscourse blog (/nay, this is us& generally speaking). i& dont know how else to tell ppl that. im&. exhausted atp. them or hell anybody potentially disagreeing w/ our& origins doesn't change anything bc we& know who we& are at the end of the day bc we're& the ones in our& head & not anyone else on this planet. idk. i hope im making sense. ty for telling me op but like. idk what u want us to do. /gen

That no one asked for, huhu~

I've been meaning to do this post many times, but with the Tickletober event going, I kept forgetting hehe.

I just wanted to say that all requests I got during my little re-opening request event thingy, have been fulfilled! *Cheers and pats myself on the back*

I'm not making a masterlist of these requests, but you can find them in the tag mia's drabbles

I'm thinking about reopening requests after October, BUT sjdkd I'm about to reach a new milestone (thanks y'all 💕), so I have a little event planned to celebrate! 🥳

Please stay tuned for that hehe.

Also! My Masterlist has been finally updated, wooooo! Now it has two parts because it got too long, you can find them in my masterpost pinned in my blog!

ALSO, I've been liking a bunch of posts that I plan on rebloggin SOON, but I'm so lazy guys, and I usually like to leave my thoughts on everyone's masterpieces in the tags, but uughhh, so I'm really sorry, please forgive my lazy aaasss, I'll get to that soon!

Okay, I think that's pretty much it. Please keep enjoying the tickletober posts (because I'm so proud of myself omg so much writing), and stay safe~
