there's a certain kind of lost-in-translation feel when talking op ships between manga-onlys and anime-onlys that should seriously not be underestimated, I think

Just spent the last 2 hours to send in the first 2 out of 15 query letters and now my head hurts terribly and I am fully convinced this is satans work

Anyway my dad is like, really insisting I need to go into IT (which I don’t necessarily disagree with) because I like. Know how to use basic things on my computer (like, I knew what regedit was and told him how to shut off the new ai thing on windows 11) and I was like. Dude you built the network infrastructure at your current job, how dire of straits are we in right now?????

nothing like waking up and immediately having horrible migraine aura followed by a horrible fckn migraine to just completely derail all the plans you had 😖

im fully of the opinion that sketchbooks should be used for literally anything and not just become a book of finished pieces...however i might try to put more creative effort into the spreads in my next sketchbook, so that it isn’t exclusively “the thing i use before going on to a final piece” and try to use it as a space to explore ideas more fully without as much pressure. like not everything has to be “postable” but it also doesn’t have to be first stage ideations, either, it can contain multitudes <3

sudden realisation that the thing holding my art back is that I never had an anime phase

just skinned something for the first time… wow… can’t believe i get to cross one of the oldest and most important things off my bucket list. that is, cutting somethings face off.

okay but in all seriousness my actual review of tristamp is that it was too short actually. needed to be more of it

(minor spoilers in tags)

actually its a lot harder to be annoyed with qi rong when you realize he’s a direct parallel to hua cheng

extremely not a fan of online shopping for a few reasons, not least that dealing with returns in a timely fashion is stupidly hard when you have adhd, but unfortunately if you're specifically interested in merino it turns out a bunch of merino-focused brands are online-only... which is really pretty ironic considering that a significant part of what's driving my interest in merino is wanting an eco-friendlier alternative to plastics, and trucking packages back and forth really cuts into that eco-friendliness!

also the lexapro is finally wearing off after like a week. which is kind of crazy because usually it happens like 2 days in. and the brain zaps are driving me insane.

I just wanna say thank you for reblogging all the stuff spreading awareness of recent antisemitism that you have recently. You are the only person I follow who isn't jewish who I've seen do so at all (Unless I'm mistaken and you are jewish too). I know not everyone is aware of every single bad thing happening in the world at any moment, and don't think people HAVE to reboot about negative events or whatever, but how much you seem to care really warms my heart and reassures me we aren't alone (Unless, once again, I am mistaken and you are jewish)

👍but nah i'm not jewish, just pissed off

Assuming nothing comes up, my first day of work at the new place will be June 13 😎

It's... a very strange feeling to learn where your anger management issues stem from. "Oh, I have a tendency to bottle my negative emotions up for no reason and let molehills eventually fester into mountains. I wonder what that is." My mother, when I slightly raise my voice about an issue with her that bothers me: "Why are you getting so angry at me, I really feel like I don't deserve this! Lot of bad energy going on around here!"
