Me: Hey, so, mood is kinda slipping. Maybe we should do one of the enrichment activities that usually helps with that.
My Brain: Interesting suggestion, but No
Me: Ok but I think—
My Brain: Your call could not be completed as dialed
Me: But we'll feel better if we—
My Brain: BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

i reworked Plum's face (she had too many similarities to Peach) haven't decided if I'll keep her vitiligo, i kinda want to make some custom for her
since she's a representation of nightshade paolumu i want to give her colorful psychedelic tattoos too - the ones she has now are deffinitely temporary but I like the vividness of the colors.

spending all your life as the confident one, the self-assured one, the one that's never had body image issues or struggled with internalized misogyny/homophobia/transphobia, and then finding out at age twenty that actually all this time you've had an unbelievable amount of severe self worth issues rooted in years and years of academic pressure and generational trauma is, a little jarring

Drafting The Adventure: Hitting a Wall
I know the signs before I really start to feel them, I start trawling through my notes looking for validation, I find it hard to concentrate on anything even if it’s pure entertainment, my thoughts become slippery and recursive as I think through the same few phrases or sensations on loop.
By the time I realize that I’ve hit a creative block I’ve usually been spinning my wheels for two or three days, letting everything else in life distract me from the fact that I haven’t put words on the page or made progress on one of my current projects. Then I feel guilty for not being productive and angrily stare at a blank page for the remainder of my freetime slowly making myself worse, and still getting nothing done.
It’s a cycle that I’ve been fighting for years, and one of the predominant sources of despair in my early life once my brain had associated creative accomplishment with self worth. I now know mostly that I’m not any better or worse a person because of my rate of output, but that doesn’t change the fact that I really LIKE the feeling of being creative and clever and creative blocks stand in the way of that feeling.
Lets use my most recent block as an example: I wanted to write a player home type adventure prompt where after doing a solid for the local nobility the heroes are suddenly bestowed with a knighthood and a keep overlooking the town they’d been adventuring out of. I found a really solid piece of art that captured the mood I wanted for the prompt ( sometimes the hardest part of running this blog) but when it came to actually detailing ideas for what the castle was like my brain just sort of... stopped. Sure I had a couple of ideas but they didn’t really form into anything actionable, and those concepts that managed to make it into the page were long, rambling, and frankly uninteresting.
I’d hit a wall, and it wasn’t until I was honest with myself that I had an actual problem that I could start doing something about it. Lets look at some of my solutions:
Back to the Drawing Board: While I’ve now spent several years attempting to surmount my creative blocks, it’s only recently that I’ve come to realize that blocks occur not because I’ve just run out of creative juice/have gotten stupider/angered my muse, but because I’ve committed to a flawed idea and I need to back up and plot a new way to act on my inspiration.  if I’m having problems finishing a sentence, I go back to the start of the paragraph, if I’m having trouble with a paragraph I go back to the start of the whole document, If I’m having trouble with the idea, I go back to what made me think that Idea was going to be fun in the first place.
Recognize the learning opportunity when it hits you in the face: No one is born inherently creative, it’s a process of refining your skills over time so when you encounter challenges in the future, you’ve already developed the tools needed to overcome them. Each problem then becomes an opportunity to improve, until you can gladly flaunt the things that would have stopped a younger version of yourself dead in their tracks. In this instance, figuring out how my creative blocks affect my brain will not only let me avoid them in the future, but get past them when I inevitably make a misstep.
Give your brain something else to chew on: I was already half way through thinking “maybe I should analyze why I run into walls and how I get out of them so I can implement that strategy on a wider scale” when I realized I was drafting this post in my head. Making it has not only helped me formalize a few strategies I’m going to use going further, but given me enough distance from the project that was stonewalling me that I can begin to rethink it, rather than try to “solve” what I’d already put down.
Why isn’t this working?: I’ve asked myself this question many times when I feel like I’ve run into a creative dead end, but it wasn’t until this most recent hurdle that I realized I’d never defined what “working” meant. comparing this prompt against several others that HAD worked made me realize that when I’d given the party a place to stay, I’d always paired that with a significant quest that came before/after, which I neglected to do for this particular prompt because it was already intended as a followup.  Using the fort as a launching point for a new story is going to give me all the inspiration I need.

In My Gif Era - Journey to Fearless
↪ Our Song
'cause our song is the slamming screen door
sneaking out late, tapping on your window
when we're on the phone and you talk real slow
cause it's late and your mama don't know
our song is the way you laugh
the first date, man, i didn't kiss her and i should have
and when i got home, 'fore i said amen
asking god if he could play it again

I hate to see you stress about your ask box, why don't you close it for a little while and take a break? I'm sure everyone would understand! I live your blog so much, I'd hate to see your hobby turn into a chore. 💜
your concern is very appreciated thank you 💖
But really it's just a matter of me coming to terms with the fact that my... audience? has doubled in ~6 months and that what used to be a very easily handled amount of interaction is now just too much for me to greet like I used to. Once upon a time my askbox was full when I had 7 asks at once.
But getting asks is one of the best ways to get feedback to know what people think, what they enjoy, if the idea I shared was compelling, etc. It's part of the fanartist cycle: I present something, you give feedback, I offer more, we sustain each other and have fun. I love reading the asks. I don't want to break that.
I've never actually had any problems with people wanting answers either (only some people who send multiple similar asks), and my ask button has said "slowest ask box in history" for several months now. Maybe it's just time for the ask button to change names again.
So yeah. Accepting that there too many people these days, pick my battles and continue to play in this sandbox together.

@monmuses asked: (winter starters pt 2) “You were curled up asleep by the fireplace like a cat.” (Fran @ Damien bc shes gonna sleep next to him)
Winter Starters pt. 2 || Accepting

   He doesn't appreciate being woken up honestly, there's a low grumble as he slowly turns his head to look at Fran with a mix between annoyance and exhaustion. He was warm and comfy and she disturbed his slumber. Sure he was by a fireplace but he knew how close he could be and still be safe about it. It's not like he was going to suddenly catch fire and burn the whole house down.
"Yeah I know. Why'd you wake me up? I don't smell food and I refuse to go outside. It's too cold out there right now."
   Sorry Fran, you're not getting him to move easily unless foods involved. He just seems to stretch a bit and go right back to being curled up, grumbling something about trying to go back to sleep.

I swear to God the more I write this damn book.
Juliana's Internal Monologue: Fuck Finn and his stupid chest hair. The only thing keeping me from snapping his neck are his pretty brown eyes. I want to kiss him so bad it's makes me physically ill. 😤😡🤬
Finn's Internal Monologue: I love Juliana so much. She made eye contact with me today, I nearly fainted. Why won't she slap my face? 😢🥺😭

As someone who's been getting excluded from punk scenes everywhere for being a faggot and a pussy, I of course wish being homophobic or transphobic would make people automatically not punk. But I'd like to inform tumblrinas who post about it repeatedly as a sociological fact that, sadly, in many places it's very much not the case.
