note to self: you’re not bad at drawing you’re just bad at taking breaks

[this is a commission, dm for waitlist]

#these are multiple months apart #every time i tried to get back into comms they kept looking like the before #i do feel bad making ppl wait so long bc it usually just takes me a few days to finish a comm like this #but at the same time i would feel worse if i provided a product that i wouldn’t even want to buy 😭 #the first one isn’t even bad per se it’s just not what the commissioner paid for nor does it rly embody the character #dandoodles #commissions

hot take but adaptations can make changes to your favorite media and you can actually still just enjoy them as their own thing in the same way that there are many iterations of ancient myths. adaptations can even change things that you consider central to theme and, if they’re done thoughtfully, come out the better for the point the adapter is trying to make. maybe you’re favorite media has more to say than you want to let it.

#My point isn’t you have to like the adaptation #but like maybe trying to get a one-for-one adaptation is actually pointless #this is about #pjo #atla #I’m just saying to be open to the changes being made so you can evaluate them on their own #judge the finished product #like there were things I did not like in pjo #I think they were extremely thoughtful with how they adapted it tho #and because I didn’t hold them to exact replication #there was so much more I got out of it #it can end up being both things!!

#photos of my guitar my dad posted to his blog years back when he bought it #it’s the most beautiful guitar in the world. it feels warm and alive to play #as you can see in the first two pics it used to have a newer pickup installed on the bottom. luckily he found an era appropriate online #it’s from 82 if you were curious #it says squire on the headstock but it was made on the fender line. they bought squire out and swapped in the name soon after this #but he got it a little cheaper than it was worth at the time because people aren’t as autistic as him and don’t know about production lines #basically it wasn’t brand name #basswood body and dark rosewood on the neck 😋✌️ #it’s actually a replication of a ‘62 model! which was 20 years old at the time. mines now twice that. isn’t that incredible #i actually saw a modern fender replication of this exact model in an op shop yesterday #for more or less exactly how much this was bought for #dad finished his blog post by saying he thinks this is better made than the original. and despite not knowing the og i’m inclined to agree #people in the comments of his post are saying that this era was supposed to be something special. hehe. they’re right #i’ve played many guitars. i own this one because my dad collects them and he let me try them all out #and i have a lot of friends who play guitar and ive hung out with them to do so #and i’ve never felt one like mine before or since. it’s so obviously beautiful #when i picked it out i hadn’t played much but i knew right away how good it was. i prefer strat bodies because i can hug my torso around #them without getting poked like a tele and the necks are thinner than acoustics (small hands. bad) #unless we’re talking parlour #love a wee parlour. pa has a little one he got for 30 bucks that’s one of my favourites of his #he’s insanely good at finding deals #he fixes them all up #anyway. the body feels #how would you even describe it #heavy. and alive. warm and wet and still full of sap #i feel like it’s breathing #it’s sort of the only thing that motivates me to be better. i could cry just thinking about it. i want to be good enough to play it

I’m gonna be so real. I don’t see any problems ai generative text/images/etc could solve in a workplace that wouldn’t be as equally solvable by slowing down and paying people more. I mean they’re not gonna do that. but it’s true.

#copper posts #every time I see people go on about how it’s a necessity to keep up or be productive I go uhhhhh #or we just. don’t need to be doing this much this intensely? #and in that same vein just compensate people better so they aren’t stretched thin a million different directions? #as someone trying to enter professional design fields it’s #disheartening #to see that the growing expectation is to take out a part I enjoy of the process of theatrical design #(drawing/rendering) #because it’s faster it’s fine as long as there’s something to base the finished product off right?? #as if collage and reference images haven’t been around for fucking ever #this isn’t trying to gatekeep the profession if u can’t draw but #collage and references work. they’re good. they’re probably going to make more sense to a Draper/costume shop #idk it’s just so exhausting to see this rhetoric everywhere #it’s not inescapable we could just not use it

#OMG!! This is the most I’ve written for any fic ever!! #I just wrote a passage that I’m really proud of 😵‍💫 #I usually hate what I write until at least a month has passed and I’ve forgotten the process of writing it. But imo this passage is a winner #Kind of bonkers that I might actually finish this fic. I’m usually just a chronic fanfic-starter and I don’t ever finish anything #But this project is really interesting to me?? And I have a pretty well-defined outline??? #WAUGH I’m feeling really good. Even if the final product isn’t fantastic I’m really proud of myself for writing as much as I have #I haven’t stuck to my original new year’s resolution of writing a sentence a day but I’ve definitely written more this year than #I ever have before. So I don’t feel too bad #gay herald in a squirrel suit

#me: *finishes up a work thing at near 1 AM because I have an appointment tomorrow morning and wanted to have it done* #me: *slacks my boss about that* #her: *reaponds* #ah so we’re both breaking some cardinal sin #miscellaneous #the appointment isn’t even for me. it’s for my plant. 😅 #whatever I’m happy I got the thing done and I can put that time on my time sheets so it’s not wasted #between that. editing. chores. I had a damn productive weekend

Praying for the editors and vfx artists at Disney Plus I know that December release date was pushed up to increase the end of the year quarter subscribers that they lost.

#lol the way my eyebrows raised at that December 20th date #and watching the trailer I don’t think it looks finished either though they cut it in a way so that there isn’t too much to look out for #really hope it turns out well cause they filmed for so long just to rush post production #and it’s during the writers and actors strike too which is typical sus behaviour #pjo #Percy Jackson #Disney + #percy jackson and the olympians

[ohgaylor]

oh my gosh I am dealing with the. worst. client on earth. uuuugggghhh 😤

#sir respectfully there is no rational reason to have 43 edit notes on a 2 minute video that is a simple about us piece for your company #I have been getting email notifications all day long on Saturday from this guy #it’s so stupid #NOT TO MENTION he flat out swore in a feedback comment #like no truly not necessary and not professional #also this video is not that serious please turn it down a couple thousand notches #and to complicate it further #this isn’t even a direct client of my company’s but the client of a different production company that is working with us #I’m just so done #definitely telling my boss to keep me far away from this one #personal #update: I MADE IT THROUGH and the middle-man client could see how unreasonable this guy was and finished up the project bless

Wait, that last Bleach episode ended with animation playing over the ending song? Is Bleach on hiatus again??? 😭

At this pacing, we’ll end up with 4-6 cours. 😱

#I hate the concept of cours so much dude I stg #just call them season seasons or something lmao like what are we doing? #do you think someday they’ll make cours cour? like a season within a season within a season?? #how many terms will we come up with? where did cour even come from? pretty sure that’s an American beer or something #if it’s already finished in production don’t leave us waiting for it 😩 it’s probably a marketing strategy #if it isn’t finished though I totally get that; don’t overwork animators jfc animators deserve better in general but idk how much we know #about the anime’s current production pipeline publicly given they tend to keep that stuff under wraps #mine #OP #bleach tybw #bleach #bleach thousand year blood war

This is the first time in YEARS I’ve actually had the drive and capacity to write a whole fucking thing from scratch due the next day

#I’m honestly not sure I even did that in high school? #but also this isn’t like. a finished product. this is explicitly an outline… that I am just making a 65% complete paper #above and beyond for the purpose of the assignment I guess #but 7 pages and counting so I will probably need to cut information from my final paper #personal

[inkykeiji]

honest to god, i have never related more to gwen stefani’s what you waiting for? in my life than i have in these past few months ._. especially the ‘take a chance you stupid hoe’ bit ahahaha like !!!!!! just do it!!! even if it isn’t perfect!!! just finish it! it’s so close to being done! just POST IT!!!

i know overcoming years and years of perfectionism isn’t going to be solved with me yelling at myself ‘just do it!’ (because if it were then it would’ve already happened and i’d be cured lmao) but ughhhhh i am so frustrated with how long this is taking :/

#yes this is about finishing my tag you’re it series lmao #it’s also about just getting BACK into a routine like i had been in before #where i was posting regularly yk??? i felt so GOOD at that time #and then something catastrophic happened in my personal life and it all went down the drain and i just can’t seem to get back on the wagon #and i know that isn’t my fault and that i’m taking all of the necessary steps to get back to my previous levels of productivity #and i’m working *so* hard and i know i’m making great strides but aaaaaaaah #i’m just frustrated that’s all #clari complains #i don’t think i have an actual like RANT TAG lmao!!!! #i just need to get this out somewhere #tw rant #just in case! <3

Guys my intrusive thoughts are playing show and tell with topics that I’m squeamish about and now I feel faint how the fuck do I turn these off

#I am in bed so if I do pass out I’ll be fine but it’s still irritating #part of me wants to do the whole ‘talk about it’ thing but I know that’s a little counter-productive #this happens a lot how do I unsubscribe #istg I need to start taking autism meds because this isn’t even an uncommon occurrence #autism #autistic #intrusive thinking #intrusive thoughts #help #funny maybe #ironic #at least #also unrelated but I finished another chapter of my book today so I’m very proud of myself and I just wanted to mention that

night

#flutterspeak #i’m most certain my tattoo became overmoisturized #it’s got the kind of scabbing you’d expect #i didn’t change my aftercare but i feel like it wasn’t ready for the ointment #i know i’ll have to get touch ups #idk why i feel ashamed of that #it’s so normal and it happens all the time #i guess it comes back to me being frustrated that this was supposed to be my present to myself #but #i’ll go have it looked at tomorrow by the artist #he can tell me what to change in my care and how best to handle it and what to expect #and worst case scenario there’s a nearby urgent care that does walk ins and my deductible is met so it won’t be a big deal #this is shitty and not the ideal i wanted but it’s ok i will handle it and in a few months hopefully i’ll have the finished product i want #just because something didn’t go as i planned and isn’t ideal doesn’t mean it’s the nightmare scenario #im upset and that’s ok but i can’t let it ruin everything #nothing to be embarrassed about #i hate having to soothe myself though lol i want to hear this from someone else rip

[im-still-watching-anime]

me desperately connecting my laptop to my tv: surely if i look at this fic on a bigger screen the plot will make sense

spoiler alert it did not

#ughhhhhhhh #have tons of Adult Shit™️ i need to be doing lately #so yall know instead i am desperately looking through all my drafts instead #looking for anything able to distract me #it isn’t working very well #my ability to actually finish anything i write continues to be nonexistent rip #shout out to the lil guys in my drafts folder that i still consider ‘in progress’ when they decidedly are Not #and also that one sequel that i have THREE different premises started for #oof #anyway connect your laptop to your tv it’s fun and you can doodle with paint instead of being productive #life junk #not anime #my posts

RAT WARS preorder arrived. This is pretty much the only album I’ve been listening to since December. Every time I try to shift to another album or band, I just end up coming back to this beast.

#sorry this isn’t like a professional pic or anything 🤷🏻‍♂️ #I know I personally like when people post in depth photos of their cool records but I just don’t got those skills or patience baby squirrel #I’m not exaggerating about only listening to this. I’m so bad about listening to music that I find one band I like and that’s it. #’I’m tired of this album’ I’ve been saying constantly for months and yet it’s 99% of what I listen to #it’s just… so good. #I WILL SAY… I miss their noisier roots. I miss the wild drums. #I wish it was heavier too. or chuggier. or something I don’t know. I love it but I want MORE of everything #also.. one last baby complaint. this took FOREVER to arrive #I completely understand tho. they sold a ton of copies and it takes awhile to finish production and shipping and whatnot. #but it waaaas a little disconcerting when everyone started getting preorders & copies from stores weeks before mine arrived #but that’s just whining. good things are worth the wait. #this is THE album that makes me want to make music. one of those albums where youre like ‘I bet this would be fun to emulate.’ Respectfully #I got the smoky gray one because it seemed to fit the monochrome theme but I’ll be honest. all those red copies made me envious #color coordination is a curse #I think this is also the first CD I’ve bought in years. needed it for redundancy. ya know. car rides. uploading to computer. etc. #anyway. none of this is important. #…this is a good album! #okay I love you goodbye forever #rat wars #mine
