panik

#Anyway #procrastination #rn #csnt even do art #I need to do my workl #But like #So overwhelmed by the urge to draw gay monkies #That I can’t even do it #And also #like #i have a ton of work #I should probably do #i will do that #maybe I should give myself a schedule #Like that actually works #Suffering #pain #Why must I be this way #o god #now im trying to crochet #Why do I do this #how do it do this #How can one pick up a hobby in a span of 3 seconds #God #Save me #help 💀

PROGRESS!!!!!!

#out of queue #ani rambles #so the problem i had earlier was ‘i made 2 chains when i wasnt supposed to and everything was whack’ #but i fixed it so now its Less Whack. #this is gonna be the hood i have like 12 more rows to stitch which might be a full ball of my yarn #also im understanding how motherfuckers listen to podcasts #i listened to like 4 video essays dissecting hozier lyrics and comparing them to dantes inferno #like my other hobbies (drawing and writing) require imagination and concentration and Specific Vibes #crochet requires a different kind of concentration #but so far its good for listening to new music and videoessays so maybe i’ll try a podcast tomorrow. or friday #tomorrow meaning later today because ITS FIVE AM #AAAAAAAAA

#i have little to no rationale for this but this is an art blog after all so here is a random little something i did on break #wanted to do smth more illustrate-y for once and render. i missed painting and. faces are always fun to paint so i just started shading and #tadaa? out of the dreamscape indeed and inspired quite heavily by anastasia #<blinks?> i'm!! not sure!!! what i'll be posting from now on!!! welcome back to the avvy-has-a-crisis-over-blog-content // #ending-with-the-resolution-to-post-whatever // and then feeling like since people are following for six ... should. post that instead. // #i saw somewhere in a ted talk of smth that be yourself and your people will find you. i feel like that applied here when i was fifteen and #now oops im a different person. what do i do with the remnants of my past self i've kept. she's in there somewhere but no longer here. #so i guess. revamp. post whatever current me wants and ignore any and all stats. #last time i went on (what i thought was permanent hiatus) i think i was trying to end on a high note. this is now a ??ship of theseus thing #perhaps. whatever!!! <stops thinking of myself as a content creator and more of a silly little blog> wow this is so chill #the true goal of this all is just to get better at art. and have it be shareable. that part is bonus. #on another note i have picked up crochet! started another side acc! began the ridiculous flood of exam season. read two whole books #and listened to a bunch of songs i either discovered or rediscovered. kept cooking experiments in the kitchen. hashtag lifeupdates i suppos #it's getting better. im usually dehydrated and stress is forever there but i've come to like my life enough to cope with it?? hooray #i think. me-who-started-this-blog would be terribly proud of how we've grown. it's a comforting thought #also i can paint actually! hehe

friendly reminder that self harm is lying to you

#the worst is when it promises you'll feel better and then you simply. do not. you feel worse and then you want to harm again bc surely that #will make you feel better right? THAT WOULD BE A NO. IT DOES NOT. #anyway today i went to spotlight cause i was sad cause i got the result for my 35% assignment i really struggled with. 32.5%. failure. #and at spotlight i made the foolish error of buying without knowing price. but like who makes a book a normal softcover crochet pattern boo #$55?! anyway it's a lovely book and am excited to try a few of teh patterns but the guilt is eating me alive #and also im super stressed about the assignment i have to turn in on thursday and haven't started #anyway i was literally four and a half hours away from being seven days clean #and i am just so sad right now #and i reopened one of the scars on my wrist too while on shift this morning so that's fun #not badly but it's just gonna mean it scars even more isn't it because of course #i was feeling incredibly awful for some reason i can't even remember and i kinda clawed up my arms. and no i don't count that as #breaking my streak bc it didn't cause much damage #i just. placement is so wonderful but life is so so hard #i don't know i want a hug and the assignment done and everything bad unmade #and the scars i have to look at every day on placement gone. #i want to talk to s but i haven't responded to her last message and i don't know how to respond but i need to respond to that #:(( #honestly actually i think i want to talk to aunty. friend's mum. in person. and get a hug. i want a hug. #im just. So Sad. and i want my brother and Ransom and this is not helpinga nd i don't know what would if anything

Crochet Update

Last night vs right now. The current progress on the maybe-scarf. I might just run out of yarn before I reach actual scarf length, but I'm curious what the full length of one of these yarn balls is. Kinda just getting a feel for it & all.

I Also bought a little book that teaches some crochet basics, and spent some time going through some more stitch styles. The above scarf is made with single stitches, and the following...

The half-double stitch

The double stitch

The treble stitch

Fuck the treble. The process for doing it was so different from the others, I Hated it. Maybe my hands being tired also doesn't help, but I am Grrrr at this one. Final product was okay at least.

These 3 little bitches took me 2 hours to make. Ugh.

#speculation nation #some of that was of course figuring out how to make them in the first place #following directions in a book can be a little challenging. but i got it. #there are more elaborate stitch styles in this book but im keeping to just the basics for now. #ive figured out how to add and remove stitch counts per rows #....partways to deal with my own fuckups lmao but itll be good to know for designs and whatever. #i looked ahead at how to switch yarns midway through and i wanna try that out at some point #maybe do like stripes or something. idk. just Some kind of practice ykno? #i need to experiment with empty space. currently still perplexed by that. but i'll figure it out. #considering i only started crocheting 2 days ago i think ive made remarkable progress. #it's just. fun!!! idk. i like it. and im looking forward to being able to Make Things. #beyond just. indefinite maybe-scarf lmaooo

greys s5 would be so good without the stupid military shit owen’s character brought

#i love george (whatever. i know) but him dying immediately after enlisting was karma. #greys lb #anyway trying to finish this crochet project ive been working on forever n i ran out of one color so i have to substitute what #i have bc im broke n it looks funky now…. </3

[altruistic-meme]

help. the crochet demons have caught me. i don't know how to escape. is there an escape? or is everyone who walks down this path predestined to spend so so much money on yarn?

#crochet #im about to go buy. more yarn. #ok so i will try and not buy all the colors right now bc i dont NEED all the colors right now #right #right?? #hghhh #or will i #............ do i do a solid rainbow or rainbow pattern? #thats the real question here #anyway #help im spending money on yarn again #shh ac

grimm n vivi :p

#my art #my ocs #grimm #vivi #yayyyy my sketches are slowly starting to be okay again #not fully there but eh #also i had to stop the replay of hk cause the switch was starting to kill my wrists #is there like. an ergonomic case for that thing? #anyways.... #making a crochet blanket with all the leftover yarn from The Beast tm #might end up having to make 2.... #i severely overbought yarn... #but! im gonna try to sell the extra blankets! 100$ each maybe... probably just 50 tho... i dont think anyone is gonna pay 100 for a blanket #i only spent 80 on the yarn #and my brother is paying me 100 fir The Beast tm so ive already made back the money. but. #if i do sell these extra blankets. i can buy a new desktop computer like ive been meaning too #i already have enough to buy the graphics card. ive just been waitign to buy the actual screen at the same time #cause those are all i need #and if i just buy em now #itll all be ready ot be built #and then i can draw on a computer thats ment to run games in 4k lol #all in the name of never crashing a drawing file ever again.... #and playing minecraft modded lol

#im so pissed at myself I should have tried harder I should have used the last few hours here to study and not crochet #I should have put some effort in but god I just cant can I #I can’t do it #I know bad grades doesn’t equal a bad person the mere thought of it is ridiculously stupid #but I can’t get it out of my head #I should have tried harder and studied more #I should have gotten help but I just let it happen #let it get too much and now I’m sitting here with a failure on my transcript and all I can do is shrug #the amount of work I’m going to have to do to make up for this #the amount of pain I’ve caused future me #all because I couldn’t get my fucking act together #god #sorry for being such a downer lately #I just #I’m so sick and tired of my own bullshit but I know I won’t change #because I can’t even be bothered to try #fucking useless #nebula rambles #vent

[euphoricfilter]

lets go lets go card pouches

#im gonna try go to a craft fair in a couple of weeks so im just making stuff up #but now im like i wanna keep some of these because they’re so fun #and like incredibly useful too #the one i made earlier this year is still going strong #crochet #personal

[ghosts-of-love]

yo anyone wanna come to a national trust place with me today? 🍁🍂

#in spirit that is #idk ive been in this town for a year and i have work friends and i have the people i live with but i want to try to make more friends #that i can casually hang out with #i also feel like i should get better at doing stuff alone too without feeling bad that i didnt ask my friends/housemates to come #there's like two people who i can think to ask but they are both probably busy and also it would mean i have to commit to actually going #to this national trust place #which j found out is only a 15 minute drive #i should just go #sorry feeling weird about friendships #i think i tend to love a few people very deeply and so then im not good at having friends where j can be like hey wanna hit up this abbey #idk things are weird with my housemates at the moment #new person moved in . the other two are allegedly going to break up any second now but also keep banging loudly in the room next to mine #its weird and im kind of miserable in the house but happy in all other aspects of my life #like work is hesitantly going good im reading again im crocheting my hair looks nice #this turnef into a whole thing now sorry #props to you if you kept reading this long #anyway this is why i desperately want to get out of the house

hour 14 of taking a break from art for the sake of my tendons: i am Wailing and Keening and Scratching Forlornly At My Tablet

#i dont know if im strong enough but i Need to be strong enough #cant continue doodling if ya wrist doesnt work #clenching my fists and chanting 'this is necessary this is necessary' #ive been going way too hard lately. unfortunately #curse this mortal body and its stupid bullshit mechanics that dont even work half the time #gonna cope by eating overly spicy soup and crochet #well no. i cant crochet. ten minutes of that hurts worse than scribbling for eight gay hours #to put it quite simply - but with feeling: FUCK! #absolutely unprompted #howling and sobbing and baying etc etc #i was gonna finish that commission tonight. then i was gonna start on something else i promised Days ago. #maybe get some doodles done for asks. #work on vines part 2. #but it oof ouch too much :/ #what the hell am i supposed to do now #fold laundry? clean my room? read? WRITE? ha dont make me laugh #i havent written in 2 months and im not about to start now #(said immediately before screaming into a pillow) #maybe ill like... go through my replies for once... see if people are trying to talk to me... #see if im brave enough to Directly Interact outside of asks...

[mothusband]

also here's the update on the blanket. kinda just looks like a wide scarf right now.

#im having a hard time with the ripples :( i lost a bunch of stitches somehow so ive been trying to fix that for a while now. #crochet #my crafts
