to anyone who draws and experiences wrist pain like I do i. I figured out the blindspot to solving the pain. maybe this is obvious but whatever. im honestly I'm frustrated at myself for not knowing sooner bcs I was an athlete for so long. but what always confused and frustrated me was that no matter how much i stretched the pain wasnt going away

people always linked n shared resources to stretches and it'd give me temporary relief but not deal with the issue especially not any longer than the time it took me to stretch.

u do have to stretch. but u ALSO HAVE TO WORK OUT YOUR ARMS.

the reason we are hurting so much is because that muscle is doing a lot of repetitive and strenuous motion but the whole length of your arms and wrists aren't strong enough to withstand that much work.

u cant just stretch. buy a set of light-ish weights and just pick a set of wrist and arm workouts u like. do them often. stretch and do those work outs. i really dont even think it matters which you do I do a combination of this and this

just pick ones u like that are good for you, working out can be fun and not miserable i promise. do it. save ur wrists. my life has changed, i still feel pain but ive been able to work and not be ready to cry the next day from daring to try

#wolf txt.#rsi #rsi injuries #if anyone else has tips or favorite workouts share them #like i mentioned i was already an athlete so i am also reverting to some old warm ups i did to help with my back pain too #i played softball #n my thing always was that my arms were weak but my legs did a lot of work #i think i convinced myself that bcs my body wasnt withstanding muscle needed to hit a ball far #trying to push myself to work on my arms too hard was going to create more problems #THE OPPOSITE!!#I JUST NEEDED TO PACE MYSELF N TAKE IT SLOW!!#AAA

dead boy detectives is a show whose shortcomings and strengths make total sense when you think of it as a comic on tv, ie terribly goofy expository dialogue that sounds way better when you picture it in comic book font with every other word bolded, panel-paced conversation as our heroes figure out something very obvious, fun enormous monster set pieces that used up all the cgi budget which is why all the rooftop shots look Like That, incredible snap zooms and smash cuts in montages that hit exactly like comic panels, and side characters with bland or brilliant characterization that seems to hinge on the metric of ‘how much cunt did the actor put into their line readings’

#dead boy detectives #dead boy detectives spoilers #we’re accustomed to different nuances of (visual) language in diff media #by no means am i comic adaptation buff but i found myself frequently wondering why it felt so strange vis a vis pacing & writing #maybe it’s just a hallmark of the showrunners or directors!#i’m used to tv dialogue that is a lot faster and frankly uh seems to think more of its audience #a LOT of shots i think were meant to look like comic panels in the montages #devlin family house loop - the fire elemental potion - etc #but then there’s also these very TV Feeling Moments #i found it delightful but also super uneven! like multiple different shows were trying to climb to the top of the pile at once #it’s SUCH a mess to me (complimentary)#like lab grown to be fandom fodder but also i think quite accidentally fandom fodder in its shortcomings too

"They were pressed so close, he could feel the warmth of him through the clothes, under his fingers. Then Obi-Wan bended slowly, like honey, and pressed his lips, gently, against Cody's neck. He could feel the hair of his beard."

Hello! My first entry to the @codywanfirstkissbingo !!!!

I suck at drawing people kissing so, of course, I decide to try to go for the full bingo 😆

A full bingo is 25 fanarts. Yes. Lol. We will see...

It's going to be a marathon as well as a challenge of olympic level for me. Wish me luck 🧡🍀🧡

anyone else realizing that Punishment and Forced Suffering does not Work for u? like anything where i just have to Grin and Bear it and Suffer (bc that's what "normal" ppl do) just ends up Not Happening. I don't do the Habit. i dont do the Task. ive spent my entire life Grinning and Bearing It and it just doesn't work anymore.

#borbtalks #this is a half baked idea based on a new pacing strat im trying #basing it on my garmin watch's body battery readings (based on hrv & tends to correlate w/ how i physically feel)#and doing more realistic resting goals for myself #. . . was gonna ramble in the tags and try to show the connection btwn all the dots. but nay i shant #basically: Suffering = i Wont Do It. Sustained Suffering = Nope Not Happening #so working from 'what is my goal' & finding ways to achieve that rather than 'what am i Supposed to do'#since Supposed to do usually = some sort of Suffering #if that makes sense?

trying desperately to listen to a new author versus another S.M. LaViolette audiobook

especially since I am in fact putting off an ARC I need to read (and am very excited about!) in order to eyeball read His Valet, which is, uh, SCORCHING

#romance novel blogging #sorry the laviolette books are compulsively readable for me rn #and i don't wanna like... knock out the whole backlist or get tired of it #so i'm trying to pace myself #and also i need to read some new authors expand the range etc #BUT his valet begins with the heroine spying on her boss while he gets blown/fingered by a sex worker #so. what am i supposed to do w that

Red Eyes and Evil Time, practically the same thing right (Patreon)

#Doodles #Villainsona #Just Desserts #Sona double feature!#Red Eyes and Evil Time /are/ different for the record lol #There's overlap and they're both eye details but they're different #Mmm Red Eyes feels so niiiice <3 And I've been pacing myself so it's Just Red Eyes!#No red shines :) Which can happen even on Red Eyes #In fact it's probably more common - the red shines on Blue Eyes was something of an oddity #No one knows the lore except me I'll explain someday lol #For now it's just fun to be in Red Eyes! :D And the occasional Evil Time as well lol - all the overlaps!#I somehow accidentally made a like?? Cotton Candied Popcorn themed outfit for Eli for the first one lol that wasn't my intention #I mean it's cute I'm not about to fight it lol I'd love for my sonas to have other clothes inspired by each other haha #Eli's eyes are still quite fun to draw as well haha those bright pops of colour - Red Purple or Blue they're all so stark and shaped #Back to their classic feminine outfit good for them uwu #Silly lad #They're also still a scientist first and foremost - it's all chemicals there's gotta be a way to recreate it externally!#Local vampire scientist creates mood stabilizers more at 7 lol #I'm quite pleased with the three-red two-purple one-blue gradient as well hehe - the decay! :D I like it as a visual #Charm tiiime <3 <3 Happy Charm time in Evil Time! Usually better than bad mood Evil Time lol - at least for those around her #Still chaotic to be in it haha - but happy chaos is happy! Lol #Again more fun with eyes the light bounce in the one where she's holding the melt is so cute and looks so nice on my paper too <3 #I had a silly comic idea for her for the next time I get into Red Eyes as well - if I remember lol #Big Love is hearts! It just makes sense #Also I am Really proud of the cleaning job I did on that last one lol - from original to this? Night and day ngl #Guess that goes to show how little cleaning I do on-page lol #For some I do! Others...#Still thinking up outfits - you can probably just make out ''Hero Charm'' in her hair lol trying to think around different themes #Something that could become something else! Add or subtract an element and it changes the ''meaning'' of the outfit #Kinda like her initial caped design that Kaiein rejected hmmm

emotions

summary: a study / log of the emotions you have when you arrive in teyvat.

word count: .8k

-> warnings: nothing severe. technically it’s implied you’re shot at by venti and chased out of mond but it is an imposter au after all

-> lowercase intended!

wonder.

the sun beamed down upon an ocean of grass, trees and flowers alike waving hello as you passed. cecilia’s stretched into your field of view, craving the soft linger of your fingertips, and the insects watched from afar, letting butterflies and birds cross your path instead. the earth swallowed sharp rocks and threatening stones, allowing you to move unhindered. the air was calm, perfect, the slightest of breezes brushing across your skin and rippling your clothes. the sun was warm, but not hot, there just enough for the wind to soothe.

joy.

the statue was tall, it’s figure kind. the small blue ball pulsed as you approached, but there was no surge as with the traveller. instead, it was as if the world around you became more alive for a moment, an invisible voice on the wind saying hello. you did not wield the wind, it followed you. it guided your hand up to birds and other wildlife, it swayed the lamp grass as you passed, encouraging you to pick one of the small plants to take with you. the earth will not mind, for to travel with you is payment ten times over.

confusion.

the city’s walls stretched tall, imposing, an island that lost any welcome to its character. you want to frown as the wind urges you away, towards the peaceful fields once more. the slimes are tame in your presence, the hilichurls have gifted you fruit, and the wilderness has been so pleasant; won’t you agree to stay a little longer? you don’t want to, you remember the city, the guards at the front and the birds on the bridge. it is not an enemy. the wind insists it is.

concern.

the boy stared as you passed, though his birds did not flee. they hopped up to you, as all others have, and you stopped to pet them. the pidgeons cooed and chirped, the small claws on their feet clicking against the stone. the boy was running, the wind urging you to run, even as you straightened. why? why were you in danger? why was the boy talking to the guards?

apprehension.

a sharp shout. a pale cry. man and animal alike cried injustice. weapons were taken from their place, blades drawn from sheaths, helmets joining the rest of the armor. you stand, surrounded by birds, by the wind, by the butterflies that land on your shoulders and flap their wings in a small sort of rage. the guards form a wall, a platoon, one that’s shouting words you don’t understand. you haven’t done anything, so why are they angry? the wind urges you to run. you hold your ground.

unease.

two- three people push their way to the front, blue uniforms and purple hats and white fur gleaming under the suddenly too-hot sun. the guards ask the woman in the middle a question. she nods.

indecision.

the wind howls a storm, the sun beating down upon the metal armor. the birds cry and caw, the bridge quickly turning into a hurricane of distrust with you at the eye. a small figure launches themself off the city wall, landing in a crouch in front of the three. they do not look surprised; neither do the guards. he’s reaching for something at his side. do you run, as the wind so desperately urges you to?

tension.

the small figure shouts a warning you do not hear, his words hidden within the gale surrounding you. a moment’s pause. everything happens at once.

calamity.

the guards draw their swords, the three at the front doing the same with the exception of the woman on the left, who pulls a book out of nowhere. the boy in the front raises a bow—the air is only barely able to redirect it from you in time.

horror.

the birds flutter as you turn, finally understanding the hurricane’s call. the insects around you buzz angrily, you’re surprised they’re not swept up in the storm but are too caught up in running. the stone is hard under your feet, the wind at your back pushing you along at an almost inhuman speed. you understand why it didn’t want you hear, why it fought with silent words and pulled with invisible hands. you wish you had trusted it.

fear.

your feet thudded against the earth, digging in and kicking up, digging in and kicking up, pushing you along your path. you couldn’t falter, you couldn’t stop, you couldn’t. you had to run. shouts and cries followed you, human and not, the trees opening before you only to swing back down in the face of your attackers. the cyclone around you spurs you forward, and you follow wherever it leads. you know better.

you only wish it hadn’t come at such a price.

#genshin #genshin impact #genshin sagau #sagau #sagau impostor au #fuck dialogue. all my homies hate dialogue #sagau kaeya #sagau lisa #sagau jean #sagau venti #kaeya #lisa #venti #jean #yea those are implied no i will not remove the tags #written in my english class and was meant to be longer but the bell rang so L #i was so tempted to post this immediately but am also trying to pace myself. it’s a struggle #editing this with my cat in my lap. truly the best life to live.#by ‘edit’ i mean fix spacing errors due to copy-paste transfer. every word you see under the readmore has not been touched #fun fact the ‘wind’ is supposed to be like. the spirit of decarabian? idk #it was supposed to be like. decarabian listening in on mond and trying to warn you away #in the only way he can: the remnants of his power stored in his fading soul #one that’s now kept ‘alive’ by you unwittingly but hey were getting ahead of ourselves now

ignore that I didn’t do one yesterday here’s today I think I’m getting lazier but I’m. Still using muscles I’ve barely used before right. Anyway I got bored and resolved one thing but then there is a lot and so this is it.

#pleinairpril #am I studying effectively? Am I improving at the pace I could be?#no. But man if it makes me hate doing it I won’t learn at all.#I’ll just stop.so letting myself go gwah we’ll try again tomorrow is better #so at least I’m doing a little bit consistently.

honestly I think the one good thing to take away from this is the realisation that I don't need to prove my love for a thing™ for it to be real. I don't need to post abt a character that I love for it to seem like my enjoyment of them is valid and I don't need to post abt my ships in order to seem like I am committed to them. my love for things is simply there and there is no competition, for the love I feel is mine and the way I tackle character dynamics is also truly unique because I am also the only me the world has. basically I don't need to seek validation for liking things by actively posting abt them and making content for them because something like that can't be measured by the amount of posts. when you truly love something it's something that comes from your heart and not the online presence you create, that's just separate. I am no less of a fan because I don't engage with ppl or don't post actively. the love is in there and I don't need to prove myself to anyone for it to be real and meaningful

#ambie.txt #I'm so done comparing myself to everyone. I am worth it on my own. I don't need to compete with anyone #my love for things is mine and it's different from anyone else's because we are all different also #and the way we enjoy things is unique to who we are as people #there is no competition if you truly love yourself and that's something I wanna try and do #I got a panic attack yesterday during the stream because I felt this pressure I need to liveblog it like everyone else #so that I prove that I love this game and gale. I know it's silly but it made me so miserable #seeing everyone post abt it I felt I need to do so as well. and then I broke down and couldn't watch it at all #so I'm gonna catch up now on my own pace. because I know my worth and I don't need to prove myself to anyone #love is love and it doesn't need open declarations online for it to be real #I will not exaggerate when I say gale saved my life because I was seriously considering ending it. and that's enough for me.#I'm going to focus on the love within me from now on

Setting up the warp for some towels. Wanted something lower stress to figure out the warping board on, plus my mom is visiting in a couple weeks and ive been promising her more towels for ages now.

Far as i can tell i kind of just need to take this off and start another one whenever the board is full (as it is now). Maybe thats not the right way to do it, but i do not (as of yet) see any downsides to that, so it's what im gonna do. Idk, im used to doing direct warping and just walking the warp.

Warp is all millspun cotton, leftovers from the cotton stripey scarf i did on commission last year.

This is 62 warp ends and i need around 180, so i guess i need 2 more of these.

#gonna try and set it up so that im only using treadles 1 and 4 #have been able to drive on my right foot altho it does suck #but not as much as walking. so i assume trying to walk my feet down the treadles would be bad as well #went to joanns today to just get a tiny bit more of the white yarn for the warp #using my crutches. turns out theyre moving and had already sold out of all the yar #yarn*#but i only got about 10 paces into the door before i realized there was probably not more yarn in the back #and if i had to get myself over there to check id probably break down crying #n then i had to repeat the whole experience at michaels altho at least they did have it #but it is so fucking painful and exhausting to use those crutches #maybe too much to ask for but i should have been given a wheelchair #or something that i can actually move around in without constant gutting agony #aaaaanyway. am back home at least. trying not to move around too much #my foot is barely even bothering me the actual problem is that staying off my foot puts all the strain on my other leg #which absolutely cannot take it #but it means at least that if im stationary its not so bad #weaving

Watching TOS: Jim Kirk's Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Week

Can't a guy catch a break?

The city on the edge of forever - YEESS

Love a time travel with an ethics dilemma intertwined in a personal one!!!

Jim manipulating Spock in the most blatant way possible, basically saying "Excuse me. I sometimes expect too much of you." like come on! and Spock still taking the bait

The clothes, the living together, Spock building his diy computer and being bitchy about it all the while

The music everytime Jim talks with Edith is SO MUCH

The ending is very fucking horrible, oh Jim 😭😭😭

This episode delivers!

GUARDIAN: As correct as possible for you. Your science knowledge is obviously primitive. SPOCK: Really. KIRK: Annoyed, Spock?

I'm snickering

You? At his side like you've always been and always will be

Gifted insight indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my heart

Captain. Even when he doesn't say it, he does.

I'm WEAK

KIRK: Spock, I believe I'm in love with Edith Keeler. SPOCK: Jim, Edith Keeler must die.

Why is he so dramatic over a woman he met a week ago i can'ttttt + everytime Spock calls him Jim it's something awful 😭

Side note: in the episode McCoy says he's "a surgeon, not a psychiatrist". But in Court Martial he's said to be "an expert in space psychology". I realize psychiatry =/= psychology, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

.

Operation - Annihilate!

I liked the episode but the ending left me very frustrated.

Look, when you decide to kill part of your main character's family, you're saying the stakes are HIGH in this episode. And for the most part, we see just that.

Shatner and Nimoy's acting is very very good I love it

I love Jim like that, I can totally buy the limited show of emotion at his brother and sister-in-law's death bc that's his thing, we've seen him do it: he stays focused, he's all tense but still efficient, in control. Even when Bones has to remind him,

KIRK: Help them. I don't care what it takes or costs. You've got to help them. MCCOY: Jim, aren't you forgetting something? There are over a million colonists on that planet down there, just as much your responsibility. They need your help, too.

That was good! That was high stakes both for Jim and his mission as captain!

Spock being attacked and in danger of dying adding to the urgency of the situation, yeah, that's great

Looove Spock in this, "Pain is a thing of the mind" and all that!!

"I am a Vulcan, I am a Vulcan. there is no pain." OH SPOCK

"I need you Spock, but we can't take any chances." Oh Jim

MCCOY: Captain, I understand your concern. Your affection for Spock, the fact that your nephew is the last survivor of your brother's family. KIRK: No, no, Bones. There's more than two lives at stake here. I cannot let it spread beyond this colony, even if it means destroying a million people down there.

The way Jim, Spock and Bones look at one another when Spock decides to sacrifice himself (well Jim had decided to sacrifice him anw) - when he gets out and Jim grabs him -

SOMEONE HUG JIM FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

And then... Jim ready to SNAP it was so dramatic and funny when he goes BoOones

Now to the thing I liked the least:

In the last minutes, Jim is so relieved to have Spock back, the banter is fun but... No word of his nephew?? I suppose he's healed but why is there 0 talk or emotional scene about it? Why is the emotion only about Spock?

Why did they choose to end this episode in such a light-hearted way? There's no emotional pay-off to Jim's family being decimated! It is driving me crazy!! You'd think it was a pretty important plot point!!

#Someone tell me what you think pls!#I need to know!!#Star Trek TOS #watching TOS #The City on the edge of forever #Operation - Annihilate!#Star Trek #Soooo I finished season 1 #Am in love and obsessed with the show and /them/#in case you couldn't tell #Trying to pace myself so will wait a few days before starting s2 #Taking the time to write fics
