there's a certain sense of existential despair as a stylized line artist trying to learn how to paint in any capacity. yeah i render my regular drawings a little but what do you mean no outlines. it breaks my brain a little and i start feeling like i once did when i was 12 and i would stare at every art piece i come across for 2 hours and marvel and the impossibility and beauty of it. anyway i think it's healthy

#even if i always remain a sketch-and-lineart gal i think it will improve my art in general to try my hand at this #doing a somersault off my comfort zone and straight into the deep end #this makes me wish i had some sort of formal training in art bc there's just. so much to learn #and i'm speaking as a professional artist! this is my everyday job! #but self-taught sometimes feels limiting yknow. i feel like i'm at the base of mt everest looking at the climb ahead #getting started is the hardest part and i know i'm gonna make lots of shitty art pieces before i Get it #which is the annoying part i've always been the sort of person who wants to be good at something right away or not at all #anyways we endure & persevere #ką sako lapė

My toxic trait is that I like how my incomplete drawings look better than the finished things

#im sorry i cant be her (my searching lines) #i cant stop thinking about this drawing i have a sinking feeling that im gonna be very unhappy when its done #or. not unhappy. but not as excited as i feel about it now! #i only worked in two short chunks on it but both were pretty productive #i have a feeling that when i take the time to really dedicate myself to it im gonna fuck something up #like i can see areas i need to/can improve already but the glaring flaws are ok! bc it's not finished! #it OVERALL looks cool and LOOKS like it has the potential to turn out well #but will it... WILL IT??? WILL IT EVER? #i have never been so totally completely satisfied w any finished drawing ive dedicated myself to fully. #tales from diana #this is also only the second time ive done a really deliberate self-portrait that wasnt in some for or another. practice #like of course ive drawn my face before. not that often actually. but since yes i do draw. i have drawn myself #i probably should've drawn myself more times for how often i think id like a nice picture of myself #but then again its not gonna be so 'nice' if i make it and am not totally happy w it? #see one of the ppl who inspired me to learn to draw is ned @sneez my dearest. he's spoiled me before #and drawn me very beautifully on several occasions and it's very much a thing to move one's heart #to see someone dedicate their talent to depicting YOU. #and i might say HE has made me look more beautiful in art than i think i'll ever look in the flesh #which is not to say he drew me inaccurately. but he's so talented that his art is more beautiful than life. #and i dont compare myself in skill to him bc he's been doing it for YEARS and way more trained than me in the visual arts. #like it simply wouldn't be fair so i only compare myself to myself. naturally #but i used to think. very VAINLY i might say. that if i could draw like him id draw beautiful pictures of myself all the time #well ce n'est pas ca mon ami. since learning to draw i've found im much more interested in drawing ppl i find beautiful #rather than myself. im not art. not through my own eyes at least. #i should really draw ned sometime. i really should. #actually somewhat embarrasingly i tried to draw him like 5 or 6 years ago. and i NEVER tried to draw then #i did show him tho and he thought it was very impressive but that's probably just bc he loves me. xoxox #maybe ill post that someday as a throwback just for the hell of it. lol. thatd be cute

the part that baffles me the most about this is how it’s been three YEARS and he hasn’t learned a THING

#speaking as someone with adhd who also does not learn after the first or third or fifth time i make a mistake. #it’s been almost three years. with an average of like. a controversy a month. and no growth. nothing #there have been times where i feel like he’s improved but then he just cancels it all out again. #even IF he’s POSSIBLY innocent somehow his horrendous twitlonger is just indicative of a man who doesn’t want to mature. #the lack of any willingness to take responsibility. the lack of any substantial proof or - if he’s taking legal action and can’t post proof #- even reassurance that there IS proof #the way he just blindly assumes his fans will take him at his word and nothing else like a bunch of pack rats #the baseless accusations. the self-victimization. ugh #none of that is specifically damning but it’s a very dangerous pattern of behavior #and the fact that someone as smart as him hasn’t made efforts to mitigate it yet? to change at all? in three years. #well. it’s bad. #vees train of thought #discourse #dream

She watched him with a kind of gratified awe. He'd been barely able to read when he'd arrived, but the goblin boy had set out to improve his reading as a boxer trains for a fight. And he was fighting something, but she wasn't sure in her own mind what it was and, of course, her Ladyship never explained. He would sit all night under the lamp, book of the moment in front of him, dictionary and thesaurus on either side, wringing the meaning out of every word, punching ceaselessly at his own ignorance.

The current illustration I'm working on is based on this oc of mine, my Obey Me MC Isadore who I designed to look like a calico cat 🥺

He's a male witch who lives in a remote cabin and mainly works as a tarot card artist, and he has a pet cat named Sasha who likes to roll around in magic residue and knock things over

#I drew the portrait to match the original art style fdsjkfsd #he's pretty bad at magic since he's self-taught #but he improves a good amount once he meets The Lads and starts proper training #he ends up having a knack for divination #which is the only reason he knows that he's not entirely hopeless #but he's still relatively hopeless #obey me #obey me mc #obey me shall we date #obey me mc art #obey me oc #my oc #my art

I’ve had soulanii blocked for almost a year ++ now maybe and here’s why. She stayed friends with these freaks for so long, who BTW were also nasty fucking bullies (I should know, I am one of the people who cut ties with them for a start and for A VERY BIG REASON) they are hateful with a capital H.

the fact that she’s hidden her identity and changed her blog this many times should be a red flag in itself:

she’s NEVER reached out to apologise to anyone (that I know of) and has even been caught interacting with people she SHOULD apologise to... but people are gonna defend her because she seems nice I guess. 

Well I think she’s actually really fucking insidous. If you do something wrong you should try to make it right, not hide and pretend none of it ever happened.

#also who knows what ELSE was said in that group chat #THOSE ARE JUST SNIPPETS #and ive quite frankly seen enough #creztalks #nonsims #im all for self growth improvement blah blah whatever but that group chat was clearly wrong... #theres also such thing as missing the train #shes had two years to apologise and never once tried to #ONLY when she got caught

Welcome to the new digs. I’ve created a new tumblr as part of a consolidation of my media presence. I’ll be adding things here and there and posting more often. The old Freedom City tumblr will remain active at johnirathomas.tumblr.com, but johnirathomas.com will point here. I’ll keep you up to date on exciting projects like, well…

There’s this handsome devil, out just before Thanksgiving, 2023. It’s the first in the Candle Light Press Classical line. Kulseth and Larmour draw a line connecting modern Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and ancient pankration fighting. It may be the first such book written by at least one person who’s been in a proper fight or three. I served as editor and saw this work through production. It’s an incredibly interesting work and I hope you’ll check it out.

Here’s their blurb:

What has Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to do with the Ancient Greeks? A lot, according to Joshua Kulseth and David Larmour, investigating the connections between the Greek pankration and contemporary BJJ and MMA. They argue that today's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gyms, training, and competitions offer the closest modern analogy to Ancient Greek wrestlers and pankratiasts and to the ideals of Greek agonism embodied in the Olympic Games.

Their book, Agony: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and the Greeks combines Kulseth's first-person narrative of experience in combat sports with Larmour's expertise in ancient Greek athletics, literature and mythology, and is illustrated by original artwork by Jeremy Smith.

When we struggle today for self-improvement or victory in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts, the ancient Greeks walk among us-not only the ordinary citizens of Athens or Sparta doing their daily training in the local palaestra, but also famous athletes like Milo and Arrichion, heroes of myth like Odysseus and Heracles, poets like Pindar and Sophocles, and even gods like Zeus and Prometheus.

The ISBN is 978-0989537155 and is available or orderable anywhere books are sold.

the Nightmare Side Weiss is clearly not supposed to be Weiss herself but an amplified manifestation of all her worst qualities created by the Nightmare (so extremely arrogant, bigoted and her physical appearance - lacking the scar and asymmetrical hair - ties back to her need to be ‘perfect’); an obstacle that RBY must defeat in order to free Weiss but also as an obstacle for Weiss as a manifestation of what she has to overcome to become a better person that, thanks to the Nightmare, is refusing to let her do so so she’ll keep generating negativity for it to feed on until it has no further use for her

#RWBY #rwby spoilers #RWBY Ice Queendom #rwby ice queendom spoilers #i don't think it's a coincidence that both times the Nightmare has gone 'well time to put you in a coma' #it's been when the characters involved are starting to positively improve #we catch up with Jaune as he's begun his training with Pyrrha - and is starting to gain some confidence and skill #and then he's thrown into the Nightmare as it basically goes into survival mode to drag him down #and with Weiss she's pulled in after she's had to do some self-reflection and admit she needs to re-examine her biases #and then the Nightmare throws out a version of her that insists she's lying to herself and tries to double down on everything

Okay like, I think it'd be too long to put in the tags of the last post so I'm making my own post but ngl that method helped me A LOT. It helped me unlearn So Much stuff by having that first thought, interrogating it, and replacing it. Cuz way back, the thing I'd do is have the first thought, hate myself for it, never try to have it again which isn't helpful At All. And then I reached a point in my life where it was like, have the first thought, avoid it, which is just as worse.

And then last year, when I realized A Lot of stuff bout me, I had to work on unlearning so much during then and like okay, this is like treading the territory of "you gotta be unwell a lil bit to heal" typa thing, like imagining your favourite characters Right There. But mine is like, a lil to the left. Cuz when I realized all the stuff I gotta unlearn, there wasn't any character from a media that can count for that just yet (I got hyperfixated on Cain months after the realization but if I've known him earlier he would've ngl took on the patron saint role in my life of unlearning unhealthy stuff)

So what I did was... used an OC. It wasn't Alec and Ray surprisingly enough cuz in my head they have their own lives and it was a lil harder for me to put them in that role. And it just so happens I have One OC that is specifically made with an awareness that makes it seem like he's a self-insert but not really. It's Alerik. The designated creator of the universe that is practically aware of the truth behind that universe and his own existence so it was easier to pull him. And it worked.

Cuz whenever I do the have first thought, interrogate it, replace it thing, I can't get it right in a way that when I think of interrogating Myself, my brain's immediate reaction is always "hatred" so then when I got Alerik to do the interrogation, my brain couldn't react immediately cuz it isn't just Me, there's Alerik now and he's both me and not at the same time, he's a piece of me. That I love. So my brain couldn't react with "hatred" towards a character I made with love, it worked. I could interrogate myself, figure out "why" I reacted the way I did, "why" I had that first thought, and what I could do moving forward without hating myself or avoiding anything. And I love it. Cuz after a year of just that, slow and steady, I managed to unlearn most of the bad habits and get rid of the self-hate. I love myself now! And the world! And everything just seems so much beautiful this way.

#aria rants #yall rlly just be insane in a way that you gotta pull a character to help with your healing and unlearning of unhealthy stuff #it just so happens that i did it a lil to the left but it still worked! it ngl only works on alerik cuz it comes easy for him somehow #like i dont have to concentrate or focus or anything. if i had smth i need help with in regards to myself he'd just pop up #i still do it from time to time cuz improvement doesnt just happen once! but i dont do it as frequently which is a good thing i think #like whenever i catch myself thinking really negatively im like: whoa there. alerik cmere cmere #and i just give myself a few minutes of silence of figure stuff out. also kinda funny how in order for me to silence my brain's #habit of self-hate. i had to trick it by pulling a character i love in front like a shield just to stop that one habit #like as much as i hated myself back then. all the ocs i made are made out of love. it was where i redirected my love to #so the thought of hating my own characters never rlly crossed my mind at all. even the ''villain'' ones. so my brain couldnt #redirect the hatred meant for Me towards a character i made with a love that i specifically directed to when i couldnt direct it to myself #ya need a lil bit of trickery to get by the habits that your brain has been trained by. continuously. and then someday. #all those bad habits will slowly go away. may not even be permanently but itll be okay! itll come back and leave but it wont stay

7. **Mindful Gestures:** Be mindful of your gestures. Subtle and controlled movements contribute to an elegant presence.

8. **Cultivate Poise:** Develop emotional intelligence and maintain composure in various situations.

9. **Courtesy and Kindness:** Treat others with respect and kindness. Display good manners and consideration.
