the best feeling is when ive been practicing drawing on and off all day and it feels like it's going nowhere, like okay great i can trace effectively, is this actually doing anything...?
and then i try to free draw and it's like. oh. oh, it is.
it's not like i'm suddenly amazing, but i can recognize where im getting things wrong and correct them a lot easier rn

If anyone is interested, when my laptop first died and I was all woe is me, I wanted to keep the bmo vibe strong in my brain so I made some pinterest boards. This is the one for the wedding chapter.
There are some maze pics there because the first draft of the chap had Levi discovering Eren and Mikasa locking lips in a giant maze. But when I went to edit it, it just didn't work well with the rest of the chapter. I spent weeks trying to fix it and make the logistics work (why would eren be out there? How would levi get there? Where would armin go? Why would levi remove himself from the wedding party? If zeke refuses to go look for Eren, then why would Hange feel sympathetic towards him and dance with him? So many questions that couldnt be answered lol). I rewrote the scenes before it and played around with previous scenes to make the set up work, but it still wasn't working.
Sometimes, you try so hard to make an idea/scene work and you cling to something you find interesting (I do love a maze and just wanted to have Levi stumble on them) but really the best thing to do is cut it and approach it differently.
I went with Levi consoling a drunk Mrs Smith instead and spotting Eren and Mikasa from afar. I much prefer this, it fits with (bmo) levi's character and it conveys a lot more than the original maze scene.
Anyway, just some ramblings if you're interested 😊

So I found Aaron Bushnell's reddit and went through his comments/posts. That young man was well read and stable as they can be. Nothing in his writings pointed to someone who was "unstable" or "brainwashed".
He held leftist and anarchist ideals. He belong to the ACAB subreddit. He recognized the evil of the US Military even though he himself was a part of it. He hated TERFS and called out fatphobia. He understood the dangers of white supremecy and the evils of capitalism.
He had a cat. He liked the show fleabag and played elden ring.
Apparently in his will he wants to leave any money in his name to palestinian relief funds. He was trying to find a new owner for his cat.
Rest in peace Aaron Bushnell. The world won't forget & we sure as fuck won't let the media paint you out to be some crazy conspiracy theorist who had no idea what he was doing.

my prof just explained on the syllabus that he’s included more points in the class than we needed to pass, so we could skip up like?? 20 small assignments/quizzes/participation!! and still get a very high grade!!
the idea was that we could focus on assignments that played to our strengths - only do the participation stuff if we like to talk out loud - only do the quizzes/readings if we want to do the class remotely - only do online discussions if we like to talk and share opinions but struggle with anxiety in class ect.
and that’s cool enough but then he pulled up DnD character sheets with drawings he’d done of these hypothetical student player classes and how our various accessibility needs could be gamified to ‘max out’ different aspects of the class to get high grades and like!!!!!
hell yeah!!!! let’s treat accessibility in higher education not just as a necessity but as the fun, engaging, and creative aspect of learning that it is!!! I love this!!
EDIT: For proper credit or further questions about his system please find my professor on twitter @/kurtishanlon

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

Big fan of characters realizing they don't get to die. They have to live. And grow. And be a person. And deal with shit they thought they'd never have to. And be fucked up about it. I would like more of this. Enough dying for honor or as redemption. It ain't. You're just a corpse. There is no moral value in dirt time.
