Hey hi, hope you're doing well, just had a thought given the date, I think I saw you post a wenclair groundhogs day au drawing (the movie <3) sometime maybe on Twitter and not here idk, I just want you to know I think about that a lot and would love to see it again? If not (or I'm hallucinating) it's okay lol. Felt better to let you know people still adore your creative beauties than fester on it x.
late answer, but better late than never i hope!
I'm stressed, but doing alright! Hope y'all are doing good as well :)
And, yes that was me! I think i posted that on here as well, but I'm not that sure :') In other news, I've been super swamped with things and classes as of late so I haven't been able to get around to doing as much as I would've liked here and on twt (not that i feel like posting there as much with the new policies tho).
I actually didn't know people had a specific attachment to my groundhog au either? But I'm happy to hear it! I really do love that au and I'd love to do more when i find the time!

people keep saying "no one reads PhD theses, stop trying so hard, stop putting so much pressure on yourself"
those people are also like. people i consider slackers who did bad science and cut corners.
and i know there's a lot of those out there. and there's a lot of mediocre theses.
but peoples' theses are actually the places where I've learned the most about my field. Things that haven't been published anywhere else. Weird results that weren't included in the paper because it didn't fit, but are actually really important to the day to day practice of working with a given molecular system. Or the author explained things in a way that is more detailed and broken-down than the intro to any experimental journal article would ever allow, and more niche than any review article would ever want to be.
i have read many, many theses!
and as difficult as it is to think that someone will ever read mine, I really do hope that someone does, someday, and benefits from it.
and i hate to be cheesy but i do think about the comments i get from readers of my fanfic, and I am just as flabbergasted and grateful that people read those and find something personally beneficial from them.
the two endeavors go hand in hand for me. creative outlets in different ways. I do both creative endeavors just for me, because I love them and i'm curious and it's a means to explore the universe in a medium that's fun to me (for the most part). that it might benefit anyone else is secondary, and utterly shocking. i know it's silly to draw any sort of parallel between writing for a popular ship in a large fandom, and writing my phd thesis, and i really don't want to draw too many parallels that don't exist. but there's something there. idk.
like to be clear i have way lower personal standards for fic than science. obviously. and no matter how useful my thesis work is, it's not going to save someone's life or anything. but.
idk i'm just so grateful for my readers, and i guess maybe they make me feel like my thesis really could be helpful to someone. like i'm able to do it in one realm of writing, so i should be able to do it in another. idk. the endeavor is worth i for it's own sake. idk.
I'm very very tired and stayed late in lab for an experiment that didn't work so my brain isn't functioning properly anymore and i should sleep but i'm just. thinkin. idk.

Hello mädch!! i saw that you got settled into your dorm and I hope you're well <33 i saw that you also answered my ask from earlier in the week,, and tbh I haven't done much, which is fine :') but today was pretty good!! We went over to a relative's house to have a bbq and the food was really good T—T we visit them sometimes to exchange food but it was the first time in a while we got to sit down, have a meal, and talk. also one of them (who was visiting too) is a prof so we talked mostly abt uni stuff and it eased some of my nerves. And they have a dog so I got to play w her as well (◍•ᴗ•◍) goddd she's so cute and has a lot of energy,, I wish I could show you photos T_T
unfortunately I STILL haven't finished the gifset,,, been v lazy this week and bc it's a compilation and I'm using diff kpop mvs it takes longer bc I can't just slap the same psd to everything. I've also noticed recently that my desire to gif/draw/be creative is usually when I am busiest, and then when I Do have time I don't utilize it to its extent. When a bunch of gambler content was coming up I'd see so many things I want to gif but that was also when I was super swamped in school so I just downloaded videos to gif later T—T and now that I am done w school I use it to be lazy aka catch up on sleep hahahaha. That being said though I've been drawing quite a bit lately (*´꒳`*) anyways I hope you sleep well tonight! - 🌱
