- wanting to redo my OC pages but not having the energy to scrap them from zero (i need to, the coding is messy)
- having a backlog of reviews i wanna fill out for my media log but no desire to do it
- no inspiration to work on my other WIP pages, or ideas for new pages
- fixations are literally anywhere else like randomly revamping my deviantart page today lmfao
i wish i could say, i'm not 100% sure ... tbf i've been also overstimulated(?) today in feeling like my brain is being pulled in 5 different directions, and feel some anxiety balling in me, so i think i'm just very much overthinking right now. im sure itll quiet down eventually, but that's not Right Now
AUGHHHH FUCKKK I HATE BEING A PERSON WHO LIKES DOING NEW PROJECTS BUT LEAVES THEM HALF DONE!!!!! RIPS AT MY HAIR SADLY. the excitement of new projects and the drive to make them last a few weeks but then No More Interest and im here like '??? but this was exciting to u' and the brain is like 'not anymore'
Where's the Watcher's sister's slayer who can never lose?
Isn't there a princess upon a unicorn?
To save the captured Prince Third-Born
From darkest fates forlorn?
I'm holding out for a True Sue!
Accept no substitutes!
Because Your Name's not the one
To get the job done when dragons need to be slain!
We need a True Sue!
A Mary fit for the fight!
She's got to have violet eyes
And wow all the guys
And sparkle like stars all the night! 🎶
All the

some part of me still wants to post on it, which sucks. it'd be nice if there was a stylesheet or something that morphed it back into old DA, but with how changed the site is, unlikely as hell :( still mad my normal username is hogged by a dead account
i wish i could use sheezyart more to actually socialize/interact but i feel little incentive to do so ...
edit: there WAS a stylesheet, but it sounds like it's been broken for the last year so alas. to be fair, even if i do decide to upload again, i have zero trust for ppl not scraping shit so i'm debating if i should put a more prominent watermark like this one below. problem is 1. cumbersome to do it to all of my existing art 2. i already upload my art at a lower resolution + quality than the full sizes if they're on socmed

edit 2: ok i kinda cleaned up my devart page a bit and if i do upload im just gonna use the obnoxious devart watermark. idk why the site makes me more skeeved out to leave it w/just my usual signature

I mostly post about: Daily life - my thoughts, things I'm up to, things I've created (I'm an artist), my travels, movies I've watched, photos I've taken. The mundane and anything that grabs my interest. I try to find whimsy in everyday life, and I probably think too deeply about a lot of stuff.
My hobbies / interests are: Drawing, journaling on paper and stationery in general, reading fiction, watching movies, musical theatre, EGL fashion, playing The Sims 4 and Animal Crossing, Lego, learning languages, traveling whenever I can (usually on my own), and whatever actor I might be obsessed with at the moment.
I'm looking to meet people who: Thoughtful people who have similar interests and values. I'm looking for community and people I can connect with. I'm feeling very burnt out from social media and how loud and demanding it is with people just observing each other and nothing ever going any deeper than that. I miss feeling like I had actual friends on the internet, and learning about people's lives from all over.
My posting schedule tends to be: Whenever I feel like. Sometimes that might be daily, sometimes weekly. I try not to post any less than that.
When I add people, my deal breakers are: Bigots. People who exclusively post about fandom, fanfic, or book reviews and little else. As an artist, I'm anti-AI. And just mean, judgemental types, I don't have space for that kind of attitude in my life. Be kind or get out.
Before adding me, you should know: I have C-PTSD, hEDS, and I'm neurodivergent. I don't talk about these things much, but they exist in the background and shape much of my world.
I had been low energy at the start of the week and that got worse, not helped by the loud noises from the drilling outside, which got steadily worse until Friday morning when I was so bad I had a terrible headache even after it ended.
Then. My stomach felt a bit funny. I think it started Thursday but it got worse over Friday, but I put it down to the headache.
Then Saturday morning hit and I was consumed by a fever. I spent the entire day in bed, in a dizzy haze with no voice or anything. It meant I couldn’t do anything of what I planned, nor could I do dnd on Sunday. (Even though it had eased up some I was still incredibly hazy and out of it at times).
TodayI finally felt better voice wise, so of course mum decides to be bitchy. I dunno why she yelled at me because she didn’t get things, or because she didn’t try something on that she saw when we got her meds (which she didn’t even tell me at the time) but ugh. It just irked me even more.
Then I had my stupid call which ugh. It’s still not with the usual guy and was half an hour later, both which would have annoyed me and made me chase up on if I wasn’t feeling rough still. (I had no desire to waste my voice on that). But ugh.
(Plus side though being sick has meant mums friend didn’t come today but she will be next week which ughhhhh)

Oh the plus side Pokopia was released a few days ago yay! If got it on digital which feels a good decision cause I feel this is gonna be a big time sink. But ahh it’s so cute! I was sold on it cause it looked like animal crossing meets Pokémon but it’s so much more than that. Though it is very similar. The world is just so… big. I got to the second area today (if I’d not been sick I’d have done it sooner) and it’s a whole other huge area.
But ahh I’ve seen some of my favs already, there’s scyther, goomy and Bulbasaur, plus so many others (I even found a suicune!) and ahh it’s just so cute, I love all the Pokémon and all the things you can find. I’ll post more thoughts sometime.
And I also popped into a charity shop and got a dvds of contact and day of the triffids.

The Girl Scouts got me at the entrance. I used their support for trans girls as an excuse to snarf a box of the peanut butter sandwich cookies, and I told them so. Those cookies didn't even see midnight, never mind the sunrise.
Good Goddess. I just realized that the user pic for this entry was taken twenty years ago this year. Photo credit: Angel Ceballos.
I'll do more experimenting with this over Spring Break. For now, I'm going to focus on what I can and test some other ideas out.
Currently:
Playing: "Final Fantasy X" perfect run attempt. "Death Stranding". "Octopath Traveler: Zero". "Cat Quest II" replay. "Vision Of Mana".
Reading: "The Witching Hour" audio. "The Bright Sword" print. "Oathbringer" audio.
I am given to understand that there is a campaign afoot to get a Blue Plaque for Dame Rebecca, as, quite shamefully, there is not one already.

Sadder stories of women: Hidden lives of female prisoners past and present:
The lives of female prisoners in the 19th Century and those experiencing the criminal justice system today are not dissimilar, a charity worker has said.
An exhibition at Newcastle Cathedral is documenting the untold stories from female prisoners at the former Newcastle Prison, which stood in the city's Carliol Square between 1828-1925.
Volunteers from a family history group have begun transcribing the records of at least 6,000 women, imprisoned by Cambridge University in the 19th Century. I have read the book by Biggs (The Spinning House) but was underwhelmed as a result of her stylistic narrative choices. I am all for this sort of project.

Hmmmm. While I would certainly agree that female desire is not taken seriously enough: A very paternalistic attitude’: why is female desire still not taken seriously?, I am massively, massively, massively cynical about the potential of the 'pink pill' or female viagra as I had several posts here some years back about the very unprepossessing results produced*. In particular I adduce this link to the ever sensible Dr Petra Boynton's thoughts. Is this just being bigged up by pharma entrepreneurs???
*And, of course, the notion that you can fix women's libidos with a magic bullet pill.
