#its a delicate balance

[dilfpassing]

All I wanna do is draw and play video games but I have to go to WORK and attend GRAD SCHOOL CLASSES and MORE WORK

#i am sad it is sunday night #i want to keep drawing.... #also my like endless queue of commissions is starting to exhaust me a little #but i dont want to keep people waiting #so ive been trying to balance finishing those with doing pleasure doodles for myself #bc if i dont do fun stuff in between my art quality declines #which isnt great when people are paying for it yk #so #its a delicate balance

the best thing about my chill old lady cat is that she's chill and old and the worst thing is that she refuses to be friends with anyone else

#the only way to win her over is to never bother her while also giving her treats #its a delicate balance

[wall-e-gorl]

the constant internal back and forth of "i should be drawing and not chilling in the living room" and "i should be in the living room when its open like this not drawing" is such a pain

#when im in my room too much its the bad times #when im not drawing enough its the bad times #its a delicate balance #"why dont you draw? in the living room?' my family is Nosey and my mom has taken it Personally that i dont show her my art #i just dont want her to make fun of me drawing unicorns and ponies or judge me for drawing bodies #if you arent weird about it you get to see it but if you are you dont its not that complicated

I come up with a theory and feel guilty if I can’t anchor it in anything when in reality that’s normal because I’m human and my perception of the world was never solely based on facts to begin with

#its not a skew perception just because you don’t have all the facts to back it up #sometimes it’s just a feeling #not necessarily confirmation bias all the time either #its a delicate balance

Bowlcut or mullet?

Mullet all the way, but it needs to be an actually good mullet because I have seen some butt-ugly mullets (*cough* DamonAlbarn *cough*)

#i find I usually think mullets look better on women but I've seen some men with some swanky mullets #its a delicate balance #meanwhile whenever I think of bowlcuts I think of Oliver Tree and that due from Dexters Laboratory

so, its pretty rough and by far not complete but this is a rough layout for the map of destiny (my zelda fancomic), i mainly took it after skyward sword but added parts of botw into it (like lanayru street, the twin mountains that were one mountain until ch3, the gerudo highlands, akkala ref; among more general map overlap)

this ones with some super rough chapter markers and some descriptions, the circle doesnt mean the chapter doesnt go to multiple places but the main happening of it is there, its again, pretty rough and lacks the correct order yet too, ill prob add that with time as i write out the scripts for the next chapters, so far i got the order until chapter 6 (chapter 4 is mostly at hylias temple and since there are alot of chapters happening there its not marked seperately)

chapter 1: demon (complete)

chapter 2: a dance of ice and fire (script done)

chapter 3: moving mountains (name not final)

chapter 4: starry night

chapter 5: a wound for a wound (placeholder name)

chapter 6: curiosity (possibly placeholder name, forgot to mark it on the map even tho i know where it goes)

most other chapters i know where and whats happening but i cant remember the exact order, i gotta make a structured chapter chart soon so i dont have to think over everything every single time i need the order

this is probably not very interesting but, even tho it is just a rough layout more for myself than anything else, i thought id share anyway, i know my handwriting when i write fast and tired is hard to read but uh .. feel free to send me an ask about it if theres anything youd like to know (do mention if you are ok with spoilers for the story)

#ganondoodles #zelda #art #tloz #skyward sword #wip #making maps is hard #in general i pulled the map of skysw apart since its not evne really connected on its own map #and put some botw refs into places that arent too far from where they are in botw but also so they make more sense for skysw #also lanayru is not a desert yet tho that process has started due to hylia building what she is supposed to #... in my hc the mining of time stones takes the life out of the land since those stones are made from concentrated spirits- #-that slowly give out their energy and its all a delicate balance #which is destroyed by hylia+ mining them en masse to create the portals #that hc is also based on my hc that luminous stones eventually turn into timeshift stones bc spirits of the dead and all #anyway #yes there are actual cities and towns in skysw #its before the game anyway but like #the handful of people in the sky are not enough for me lol #and gerudo already existed too #maybe bado(groose) is like a half gerudo and thats why hes got red hair

So I'm in the last quarter of my first mat and I'm struggling...

I have two 7 inch stacks of books to keep my bobbins up and keep their threads from catching, but it's quite obviously a) ridiculous, and b) inconvenient

If anyone's figured out a better way than this nonsense:

to keep the thread from constantly catching on the first pins, I would love to hear your knowledge 😭

#bobbin lace #lace making #its a delicate balancing act 😭 i keep accidentally knocking them down and having to go back a stitch #send help lmao #ih #rose crafts

everyday i think about mithrun backstory getting animated and become nauseous and ill

#its like. the scene of him being eaten alive is personally TO ME the most visually and tonally stunning scene in dunmeshi like theres scenes #that make me more emotional that make me go crazier etc etc but its just simply the most vivid in my mind #like truly such an unsettling horrifying scene and thinking about the potential w it when it comes to an animated version…. the creative #adaptation………. god? #like the goats hand slowly opening the curtains to his bed. whoah #ofc theres the concern of like Oh i hope trigger keeps like the delicate balance of the scene being both horrying and clear in its undertone #/allegory with out like. making it more gratuoitous or whatever. but i have faith…… #dungeon meshi

Hello. Chapter 6 absolutely killed me. It’s just fjnsiwmsoekroxmsomekdm /pos

It is giving me so many emotions and I am not okay from it. Just the contrast of the others figuring out more of what is going on with Grian and trying to help him verse Grian planning to kill himself.

Really glad that Xisuma is fully planning on helping Grian his way without giving Grian a choice in the matter. He needs to be dragged kicking and scream to be helped, and I’m glad that they’re willing to do that.

I’m also hurting from Scar trying so hard to help Grian but Grian just rejecting him at every offer 😭

:DDD im so so glad you enjoyed the chapter!!!! It was a real monster to grind out, so im glad it seems like it was worth the wait!!! 🥰🥰🥰

There's definitely some very interesting dissonance happening between scar + xisuma and grian here-- that push and pull between the help and harm is something i find endlessly fascinating to depict, because its just so real. Sometimes you find yourself in the unenviable position of having to make hard choices for somebody else's safety, and it SUCKS, and nobody is happy about it, least of all the person you're actually trying to help

Im really glad the scene with Xisuma and Scar deciding to bring Grian back to Hermitcraft (despite his protests) seems to be hitting where i want it to tho!!! Ive got a lot of thoughts and feelings abt depictions of autonomy and especially when that autonomy is being undermined, and i wanted this to come across as what it is: a necessary, last-ditch evil for the sake of someone's survival. Better an angry friend than a dead one, etc etc-- it's not something Xisuma wants to overrule him on, but at the same time, it's the only course of action he can see that will save his friend. He's pretty fucked up over Grian almost dying in front of him, tbh, and i hope that despite the mild way he tries to conduct himself, that shines through fairly clearly

Eidjwjdsj alright ramble over thank you so much for both the comment and this ask, im truly so glad you liked this chapter!!!!! :DDDD

#shouting speaks #asks #compliments #hunger au #I JUST HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHTS. ABT AUTONOMY. AND THE DELICACY OF PORTRAYING THAT BEING UNDERMINED #WITHOUT INFANTILIZING THE CHARACTER ITS HAPPENING TO #and i think part of that is like. validating grian's anger/hurt. he has a right to that!!! he didnt consent to this!!! #and nobody ELSE is happy about having to do that to him but they... kinda dont have much choice #smth smth the very delicate balance of trying to respect someone's autonomy vs not letting them fucking KILL themselves with it #its a hard balance to strike so its reassuring to hear im doing a good job!!! #once again hunger au is just a collection of the messiest scenarios imaginable sjfhskfjsjd #everybody is trying their best #txt

thinking about what character would pose the biggest threat if given a forklift, it's between Pyrrha and Gideon for me right now

#“oh but what about nona” #you need to understand that one needs to be capable enough to effectively wield the forklift #while being enough of a dumbass to cause mayhem with it #its a delicate balance. #almost made another tier list because of this

[grymmdark]

im just barely functioning at a reasonable level most of the time. as in im technically not pushing myself beyond my limits but i am not far enough above my limits to do things outside of my normal routine. its so frustrating because i feel like i should do more stuff but i know if i do it'll end up hurting me but i also am fine right now and aughhhhhhh

#grymms spectacular fucking posts #like if i go to the store or go to the cat shelter on a weekend or i do anything besides just school and cat shelter monday and friday its #too much but i feel like i want to do things and i should be doing things but i cant #me being ok is so delicately balanced. like i am ok now but it takes so little for me not to be that really im not ok
