i hate to say it because i'm neurodivergent and a chronic-pain-haver but like... sometimes stuff is going to be hard and that's okay.

it's okay if you don't understand something the first few times it's explained to you. it's okay if you have to google every word in a sentence. it's okay if you need to spend a few hours learning the context behind a complicated situation. it's okay if you need to read something, think about it, and then come back to re-read it.

i get it. giving up is easier, and we are all broken down and also broke as hell. nobody has the time, nobody has the fucking energy. that is how they win, though. that is why you feel this way. it is so much easier, and that is why you must resist the impetus to shut down. fight through the desire you've been taught to "tl;dr".

embrace when a book is confusing for you. accept not all media will be transparent and glittery and in the genre you love. question why you need everything to be lily-white and soft. i get it. i also sometimes choose the escapism, the fantasy-romance. there's no shame in that. but every day i still try to make myself think about something, to actually process and challenge myself. it is hard, often, because of my neurodivergence. but i fight that urge, because i think it's fucking important.

especially right now. the more they convince you not to think, the easier it will be to feed you misinformation. the more we accept a message without criticism, the more power they will have over that message. the more you choose convenience, the more they will make propaganda convenient to you.

#personal #this also applies to ai art and stuff. like #artists and crafters and non-ai users took the time space and energy to learn things #bc we are actually LEARNING them. and it takes actual SKILL.#i know the skill is long to learn and often annoying. i still get frustrated about my art bc it's not good #but i do it myself. bc i respect that it IS a skill.#ai writing a book for you is not YOU learning how to write a book. and it took me a lifetime to write a book. i get it.#ai drones running a marathon don't run the marathon for u #there are things i cannot due to my disability. lol marathons being 1. there are things u can't do either #this is about stretching yourself in the ways that are healthy and good for you.#ai learning for u in ur classes is NOT healthy. u are not learning.#''but otherwise i won't pass''#first of all that's a self-defeating prophecy. and many of us who thought we wouldn't pass DID pass #and secondly. CHALLENGE urself. ur paying for college anyway. don't pay just to let AI learn for u.

|| Companion skill animations (+ bonus Rook)

#keeping the bellavrook agenda up by putting them in the same row :)#there was an attempt to keep this coherent colour-wise I promise. it failed but There Was An Attempt #the problem is that you know. I didn't really remember where to find the skill spots #so I recorded the footage all over the place in my run and the light is... quite different everywhere...#emmrich had the worrst of that probably #ANOTHER problem was that the anims wouldn't even trigger at every skill spot. for whatever reason #I have not figured out the logic behind that but I trust that it's there #probably the worst moment was with with bel's skill spots where the anim triggered once but I didn't get the footage #and then I couldn't get the anim to trigger again no matter what.#forgot to mention: the second Rook gif (the penultimate gif overall) is from after you complete an Evanuris altar challenge #dragon age #dragon age the veilguard #flowers.txt #flowers blogs #rook datv #rook dragon age #rook #bellara lutare #davrin #davrin dragon age #emmrich volkarin #lace harding #lucanis dellamorte #taash #taash dragon age #bellara dragon age #harding dragon age #emmrich dragon age #lucanis dragon age #neve dragon age

given cass's canonical love of reality tv, I am absolutely certain that every year babs has to go into cbs's recruitment email and delete her survivor audition video

#cass watching people pass out from malnutrition and heat stroke while doing endurance challenges: skill issue #she'd way less good at the social side of things in that a lot of people would hate her for being an asshole #but also she'd always know when they're lying to her and also be 30x smarter than they've underestimated her to be #also I think she'd be good at finding immunity idols #honestly I think people would want her in their alliances for her inability to lose at challenges in the first half of the game #and then be utterly blindsided by how sneaky and clever she is in the back half #and she'd literally always have immunity so like #cassandra cain #this deserves to be in the tag I'm RIGHT #if you saw that I said the cw in the first version of this post no I didn't

Im sorry I'm so mad I can't keep quiet about this I think if you're comparing ID5 stating Siffrin isn't white to JKR's stupid Twitter "confirmations" you need to be put down. Siffrin's entire character arc is exceedingly racially charged throughout the entire game. If YOU didn't pick up on that you need better reading skills I'm so serious. Literally "isolation from his culture and feeling othered no matter where they go" is like!!! Such a major part of Siffrin's character!!!!! The nose poll results were absolutely a cherry on top kind of confirmation, NOT out of left field. There is no true way to analyze Siffrin's story without bringing up their race and culture and it pisses me off to call that an "out of left field confirmation that could have been mentioned in canon" when it IS IN CANON

A dream redesign sketch dump. The first two is what I’m using for the comic. Sorry I changed him I just really don’t like the spandex zip tied body suit in his normal design. Also swap dream redesign because I really think he would fit a jester. Ok that’s all for today

#dream sans #dreamtale #swap dreamtale #utmv #undertale au #sans au #I like dream okay #he is under appreciated #NightWatch au #also I don’t like swap dream rlly I just wanted to challenge my outfit designing skills #his normal outfit is my personal nightmare

With the end of season two comes a second redraw!

[Nov 2022] [June 2023] [June 2024]

#better drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #I was really looking forwards to this redraw - though the jump in skill isn't as dramatic as the last one I still am proud of my progress!#It's really incredible to look back on this last year and how much has happened since then.#Both in my personal life and this blog.#I started the second season while I was going through some pretty rough times and it truly kept my sanity afloat.#I challenged myself a lot more this year! And while it didn't always turn out the way I hoped-#-being messy and earnestly trying to do something different has been my favourite part of art.#There will always be a lot of room to grow - I don't think art and creativity has a ceiling.#I went from doubting that I was even an artist to joining a gamedev team as the lead artist! That's character growth!#Thank you all once again for joining me on this journey B*)#Thank you for all the messages and support you have sent my way these last 18 months.#I'm so happy to have been given the chance to create something for this community. You've given me so much and I am so grateful.#I'll take a little break to post some personal project stuff this week and resume season three after that!#Onwards to another season of silly (and sometimes serious) comics!

Hermit-a-Day May, Days 3 and 5: Tango and False!

This drawing is very specifically based on the bingo pairs game Tango and False teamed up on for the previous Gamers Outreach charity stream. It's so fun watching False get really focused in during a competitive game (if you've seen her old UHC vids you might know what I'm talking about), and combined with Tango's quick brain and penchant for making loud noises when things start going wrong, it makes for delightful content.

#hermitaday #hermitcraft #hermitcraft fanart #hermitcraft smp #hermitcraft tango #tangotek fanart #falsesymmetry #falsesymmetry fanart #also worth noting: for the actual bingo game they're controlling one character #the joy of watching false lock in for a challenge #and then have to steer tango away from walking them both off a cliff #don't get me wrong tango is plenty skilled in his own right! he's such a fun personality to watch when there's a game afoot <3 #my art
