#why are my hobbies stressful

I was tagged by both @wistereia and @morganlefaye79 to show some of my WIPs, thank you ♡

1. Mods for public release

I'm modding again for the public because I'm currently done with my personal projects and I need something creative and stressful to occupy my time <3 first thing is a face complexion for masculine-framed Vs since I don't think they have enough pretty-fying mods 🌚 that flattened out face (diffuse) is what a complexion looks like before it's packed and all those little details you see are painted on there by me; the freckles and moles, the lips, the undereye textures, I placed those there to try make a more realistic and textured skin. As you can see, it needs some work still, mainly fixing up the normals (the 3d texture of the skin) so that those skin details are more obvious. But I can do that easy peasy

And I'm working on another set of tattoos for both feminine and masculine framed Vs; this set is a little different than most tattoo mods and I'm surprised there's not more mods in this style since it's hella popular everywhere rn. I'm not 100% sure what it's called but I think it'll look cool and kinda edgy™️. Again, needs some more work - fixing the transparency, placement, and some geometry. It's surprisingly hard to make a mish-mash of a bunch of flash tattoos look purposeful and organized who would've thought

2. Two new side OCs that likely won't get too much screen time but are essential to a couple of main OC stories. Ilya and Mars are their names and they work for the same company Valen does, Ares Systems. They're essential for a couple of things and then I'm not sure what to do with them afterwards 🌚 I just like designing characters who look like they could potentially be extras in a final fantasy game I am sorry

I'll tag some mutuals and friends, but there's no pressure at all to share if you'd rather not or if you don't have anything currently <3 I'm not 100% sure who is currently working on something, so feel free to ignore this! @rindemption @noirapocalypto @spicyraeman @westealtoys @florbelles @daedricshrine @quickhacked @kharonion @timaeusterrored @adelaidedrubman @envergothash @mercymaker @vanoefucks @hazellblogs @laezelkliir @wilxfyre @humberg @mrdekarios @thedeadthree @ancientsigil @alphanight-vp @swanfey @ruinbringer @enverflymm @opaleyedprince @aelyosos @vincentmatthews @aggravateddurian @themermaidriot @feykiller @feypacts @togepies @medtech-mara

you say you’re a stress monster but the only thing stressful ‘bout your diss and your lyrics is that they’re unsuccessful!!!!!

i like overthink everything now it makes me feel so dumb. i used 2 be able to just talk 2 ppl but nowadays every single thing im like Is that actually going to make them hate me. Yes probably. and then i just dont respond which makes ppl hate me. this is how it is

[prince-liest]

your orchids are so cool! can we see the entire collection?

I will ABSOLUTELY show more photos of my current hyperfixation, ehehehe, thank you so much! <3 I've moved the cattleya to my eastern windowsill and my dendrobium nobile is chilling in the place of honor on the kitchen counter where my biggest bloomer at any given point in time goes, and one of my violets is also in my bedroom for some pizzazz, but the rest of the orchids and violets/streps are on this plant shelf!

She's a bit tall, so I've added the dendrobium nobile (Angel Moon 'Love Letter,' lovely but mild fragrance!) side by side to avoid stretching the dash too much, haha. I have it lit with Barrina LED lights on timers, and they have a super cozy glow, don't let my camera auto-editing the lighting to be so stark fool you.

The top row is hard to get a good zoomed out pic of because the Oncostele Red Silk 'HOF' flower spike is so damn tall, so I've cut it out of the pic since it's not blooming yet - but soon! This is where I try to keep all my currently-blooming flowers, and the oncidium takes up a ton of space at the moment... and as you may be able to see, the yellow and harlequin phalaenopsis are soon to be losing their blooms! They're both growing new leaves and roots at the moment, and the yellow phal actually has been in bloom on the same spikes for 9 months straight, which is absolutely insane. They're both no ID grocery store plants, which tend to be bred for really prolific blooms!

The second row is currently housing my blooming violet and strep, as well as my two smaller non-blooming streps. The bottom left one is actually a mini, so it will be staying in that small pot forever! One of the huge pros of violets for me is that they don't really exceed a 4" flower pot size ever, no matter if you've had them ten months or ten years.

The mini strep is Fernwood's Silhouette, the larger one is DS Riushele (google this one, the blooms are a deep purple and super frilly!), the violet is Frosty Cherry, and the far right strep is Bristol's Mascara!

The bottom row is where I try to keep my currently non-blooming orchids, but the little rescue I found at the store with most of the flower spike snapped off and one measly (and super pretty) flower left made it down there as well for lack of space, haha.

The tallest plant here is a Dancing Lady oncidium orchid that has an amazing and strong fragrance. It used to be in my kitchen and filled the whole kitchen area with its scent in the mornings! The smallest orchid in the clear pot is actually one I kidnapped (with permission) from my program director's office to rehab it, lol. I'll be giving it back once it puts out another flower spike. The big pot on the bottom right has a pure white phalaenopsis that's currently growing a new flower spike for the third time in my care, and it's a flower that my mom gave me, so it holds a special place in my heart!

Then the very top left tiny phalaenopsis orchid is just a little purple grocery store mini that had almost no roots left for a long time. It's flowered twice in my care before I messed up its roots trying to separate it from being double-potted, so I'm very proud that it's now growing a new leaf. And lastly the two violets are Cajun's Queen's Lace (left) and PT Wild Plum (right, post plant surgery).

And that's the orchids and violets! :D I actually have, uh. Checks watch. 41 plants including hoyas, nerve plants, a fiddle leaf fig, and a pothos, not to mention the aquarium garden and the edible patio plants, so this isn't actually all of them, but the rest are elsewhere in the house and aside from the ones I mentioned in the first paragraph aren't in the orchid/violet category!

God it is amazing how nice a full stomach feels

[bigcats-birds-and-books]

oooh, i need to knit four (4) rows of this shawl every day until the end of the month to finish by the recipient's birthday. which isn't, like. bad. but it ALSO doesn't take into consideration that, a.) the early rows will be much quicker than the later rows, b.) i've got three (3) lil non-negotiable deadlines to hit by or before then, too, or c.) i've been backburnering the knitting and doing like. MAYBE. two rows a day so far.

how the HECK do I explain to my parents that I do not want bass guitar lessons from my dad, I want to teach myself from the books and videos that I have. I will literally throw away every plan I have to learn this instrument if I have to learn this way I'm not even kidding. this is why I quit guitar after two months my freshman year of high school.

anxiety has taken some of my favorite activities from me but i think the one im saddest about is being able to draw on myself

[littleolfandomblog]

something i think people forget about aaron is that not only is he a d1 athlete for a sport with a massive fan base, but he's also a pre-med student. like i cannot even imagine the amount of pressure on him before the yakuza/mafia got involved. and then the yakuza... omg... this poor guy can't catch a break

[cool-person-yey]

the deadlines are made up but ESPECIALLY the ones you make yourself for a creative project. let it take 3 years let it take 20 minutes It Is Supposed To Be Fun.

[abel-draws]

If you want to start your dream project just start now!! Draw 10 pages, a chapter, whatever. Have fun and, if you see that it's not working, you will have learnt, you will have had fun, you will be able to go back to it later with even more knowledge. No effort is wasted.

But I've also realized that sometimes we are convinced that if we don't work on something with marketable quality, it's no good, that we should aspire to do industry-quality stuff. Nothing is as freeing as realizing that that's not true and that you can just draw whatever the hell you want and work on your stories and characters however it brings you the most fun.

Me: I love drawing… it’s so much fun! :D

The digital drawing behind me: *has been drawing for over twelve hours… still looks awful and the artist is about ready to sacrifice it to the volcanic gods*
