hey so this is your permission not to improve at your hobbies. you dont gotta do more or try new things with it. you arent obligated. are you happy drawing the same 3/4 profile headshot of your blorbo??? do that. enjoy walking but dont wanna go further than your usual route at your usual pace? dont. enjoy collecting trading cards but dont actually like playing the game? never play the game. like learning the names of birds but dont care about their calls? just learn those names babeeeyyyy.

do what you want as you want and as many times as you want in the ways you want to. i am actually asking you to do this. you dont even need to get better. crush that weird feeling that you need to be doing 'more'. the goal doesnt have to be improvement. it might happen incidentally but like, thats whatever. you can set the goalposts and then just sit by them and enjoy the scenery. if you decide to move them or get up and sit somewhere else thats cool, but you dont gotta. doing things that make you happy is enough

i reorganized and cleaned the entire bathroom top-to-bottom including under the sink & my hypomania brain is super down to take out the trash from that and then go reorganize n clean our other shower. however instead of doing that i am laying in bed typing this text post because as i finished scrubbing the bathtub, my body decided it had hit a HARD stop and that we will NOT be using our muscles for anything else for a while. currently cannot even move enough to get the painkillers on the other side of the room much less figure out, like..... dinner. the one drawback of hypomania is that i cease to notice physical fatigue. i anticipate that tomorrow might be Difficult.

however.

MY BATHROOM IS SO CLEAN :DDD

This woulda been the 4th year I did that vore week thing I arbitrarily started

But 4 is unlucky number so I'm skipping it this time around. (Totally not because I haven't the time to draw like I used to)

Trust tho, I'm gonna draw vore at some point during the week

And certainly the day of 8/8

good news: it seems that I have a certain level of job security in the midst of the company redundancy reshuffle in that A Job Of Some Sort will be available for me to step into in April

MORE good news: there may be a non-surgical solution to my medical issues

The Laurel-relevant pages available in the free preview pages of the Wednesday novelization that came out last week (while I aggressively scour every ebook site I can find to find the rest)

Most of the differences are pretty minor as far as Laurel characterization goes, but some observations right off the bat:

The way she explains her coming in is different here. In the show, she just says "sorry about the mud" and apologizes for not being there to greet Wednesday at first. Here, she says she was "out on the grounds dealing with a foliage… situation" which is such a hilarious lie by omission we all know what you were really going out there to do

"Outcast" appears to be consistently capitalized in the novel, but something about the phrase "stereotypical Outcast behavior" just makes it feel more like she's using it like a slur than it ever did in the show lmao

The classic line returns

as a huge batjokes shipper i want batman and joker to hate each other in the sense they dont really hate each other, they just have really different goals and see their own version of potential in the other and right now hate is the best word for their situationship. they both love the other for what they could be but neither of them wants to be what the other one wants, and that's equally as frustrating as it is necessary for them to keep existing in their current roles. they're deadlocked and that fate surrounding each other is kind of the point -- we both have to be like this, the opposite of what the other wants, for us to keep existing at all, and for giving me that gift i both love and hate you. it's an agreement. i think the hate that's there now is born from an intense underlying love.

i think batman "hates" joker for being so amazing and smart and cunning, for being able to create grand gestures and schemes, to pull people together under his charisma and make them all believe in something, for being as extraordinary as he is but batman hates that he uses it to hurt people. he hates that joker can't channel his energy into doing something good for the world, that he hurts himself and others just because he wants to be batman's greatest enemy. i think batman wants to help joker but also hates him at this point for joker exhausting him, constantly getting hurt both emotionally and physically by him, joker never trying to improve his situation, throwing away other people's lives, showing batman he loves him by lashing out and hurting him. batman hates joker because he loves his rogues, he wants to help them, and he knows they can do better. he wants to live in a gotham that doesn't need batman but he still needs to be needed, because when there's no batman, what is bruce going to be? without joker, he will continue being batman, but it's an empty crusade. some of my favorite interactions between harvey and bruce are the ones where harvey thanks bruce for "always being there for me, never giving up on me, my very best friend." even with someone like harvey, bruce can still hold onto that hope for his rogues, never give up on them, keep going for them, even if it puts them through the cycle one more time.

i think joker hates batman in the most toxic way possible, but it's still love. i just think he's selfish and doesn't want batman to think about anyone else but him, the same way he operates for batman, but if he must think about other people then joker will make it as amazing as possible! i think he hates batman for wasting his time on ordinary people, people who are so boring that batman claims he has to protect and serve and love them but joker thinks it's all surface-level. batman won't kill joker but he'll leave room for people dying in his crusade. it's a choice he allows, and even if joker knows that's a morally fucked up way to put someone in a box, he doesn't care. batman is the type of person to train himself mentally and physically for decades and dress up in a half-silly-half-menacing costume so that everyone can have an idea about him. batman himself is not normal, and joker knows that and loves that! why is he wasting his time trying to save people that use him, abuse him, don't want him to be the best he can be? i think joker's motivations for loving batman and lashing out as if he hates him lie somewhere in between extreme admiration -- like i truly believe in your cause and that you're the right person to do it, but i'm so angry at you for wasting your time on other people and i'm so hurt and jealous that you choose them over me, just so you can be a hypocrite and let them die if i want them to anyways -- and anger at his hypocrisy -- like it's easy for joker to dedicate himself to chaos and just being in batman's life by putting batman in situations that force him to be a better and better hero, but how can batman sit there and choose and pick what morals he'll uphold and who gets to live and who gets to die?

i want to be your greatest enemy because you are the greatest hero ever, and the only way you and i can keep being the best at what we do is if we do it together, because of what we both believe in.

Across the Spider-verse tho! Sony was insane for this and I know the team put their blood sweat and tears into such a logistically wild movie. The number of animation styles, sets, crowds, fx???? The amount of r&d that would have to go into this?? Insanity!! And they pulled it off!! Huge huge round of applause to Sony, titmouse, buck, and all the studios who worked on this beautiful movie 👏👏👏

I should play Canto III.

[buildoblivionthenwewilltalk]

look I know TMA 2 is absolutely correct for focusing on an AU with new characters and stories and all that but like … I NEED to know what AU!jon is doing in this world like - is he still a spooky researcher? or is he a teacher? is he a lawyer? is he a world renowned rockstar touring the planet? Is he alive? Is he okay? Is he HAPPY?

I me myself needs a good few days of rest and relaxation.

Instead of torturing my personas in my own emotional distress, I will instead draw my personas just having a good self-care day.

If bay leaves have a million haters, then I am one of them. If bay leaves have ten haters, then I am one of them. If bay leaves have only one hater, then that is me. If bay leaves have no haters, then that means I am no longer alive on this earth. If the world is with bay leaves I am against the world
