i really gotta get better about listening to my own brain and needs when i'm making things. i've been working on a video and i'm almost finished (yippee!!), but drawing this One Specific Frame was giving me trouble. i could have just brute-forced my way through it and finalized the initial sketch, since it was relatively good enough. but instead i left it and took a day off from working on the project, let myself recharge, and came back to the sketch with fresh eyes today. and what do you know, my redrawn sketch today is WAY better! now, i can finalize that frame and be genuinely proud of it, instead of just powering through on something i was less than happy with.

i hadn't done any other art stuff that day when i couldn't get my sketches to look right, so letting myself stop and have a break from the project felt sort of "unearned" i guess. but it's just. what i needed! and the break did what i needed it to do; i was able to come back later and make something i could be proud of.

anyway i guess this is me saying that, if you're like me and have this weird morality-complex about letting yourself rest, it's ok to take breaks, even if you feel like you haven't "earned" one yet :)

#rye.txt #growing up i got very accustomed to ignoring my own needs and just 'powering through' when i wanted/needed to get something done #which worked out relatively ok for me in school (banging my head against a wall until my brain absorbed information leading to exhaustion)#but now that im doing work that is ostensibly for my own enjoyment #i have a hard time divorcing myself from that mindset #i feel guilty if im not constantly working #which is. not great! so im trying to unlearn that #trying to let myself think 'ok my brain isn't brain-ing right now. so i should stop and rest/do something else'#my actual job is Very Emotionally Draining so sometimes i just. can't find the energy to work on my art #which sucks!! cause i love making art!! and then i think to myself 'maybe making art will make you feel better'#but then when i try it's like scraping the bottom of a dry well. trying to find water #when what i need to do is rest and let the water well up from the ground itself #but resting is HARD when you tie your self-worth to how much you can work #ough ok this got a little vent-y sorry guys #I don't want to let myself fall into the 'content creation' mindset. cause I don't think i make 'content' i make ART #and art isn't something you can just pump out mindlessly #good art. art that i can be PROUD of. that takes time and intent and energy. and I can't make that if im just scraping the bottom of a well #vent in tags #this whole post is just 'riley vs the concept that taking breaks is a moral failing'

i've had such a day my friends

#s.txt #my 10 yr old bed frame broke last night #so i've spent literally what feels like all my spoons for the week fixing that #and it's so fucking hot out it's 35 with a humidex of 43 #(95/109 for the americans)#i've had to stop myself from getting into like 3 twitter fights bc i'm in a mood apparently #and now i've run out of energy but i've still got stuff to do so like. ough man #it's going!!! today's going!

welp i think im healed a bit i have a new keyboard

not only is this better for my sensory issues (softer keys and quieter sounds, its so pleasing gosh) but also

LIGHTS!!!

#this was like a 60€ investment but my old keyboard is on its last legs plus has all the issues i fixed with this #plus if i invest once in something more expensive it should last longer in daily use right?#also i had the money and its cute what of it lmao #this also streamlines my writing process cause now i can actually use my desktop instead of having to always spend time and energy #specifically opening my laptop so. win!!#im just very happy with this ive wanted a keyboard with lights for sooooo loooong but all i ever found were mechanical ones #and i cant do those. they are sensory hell for me ough #anyways. night is happy and will consume breakfast now since i also got cheese while i was in the store yay lol #night is an absolute mess on main

urgh the creative block's caught me

#just me hi #i knew it was gonna get me soon cuz it's been a while since i've been completely Dry #i've deleted like 6 sketches already we are in Danger hhhhhh #i'm trying to write rn but i am so disinterested and i have zero ideas and it's AGONY #hhhvhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh #i mean i'm gonna keep trying cuz it's not like i don't Want to do anything #m a n #//ough there was this one time i hadn't been able to draw anything for like a straight Month #and i was genuinely concerned like 'uh. are we gonna be stuck like this ???'#and then one day i just got this burst of energy and i drew like four new characters and it was fun :)#//anyway in other news;#so my headphones have been missing since christmas #not that big of a deal right? it's only been three days right? RIght???#i've been in limbo for THREE DAYS i couldn't listen or watch anything without everyone in this household knowing EVERYTHING #and that's horrifying so i was stuck listening to everything else around me #you'd think writing while someone's watching a movie at 70 vol. would be the hardest thing to do. apparently Not #i couldn't- i was struggling to sketch dude hvbfjdh #like i wasn't watching the movie but i might as well have been cuz i Was watching it. through the noise #i couldn't see my screen hhhvbfhd #but yeah i found my headphones today!!! :DD #i was putting them on and it was Awesome. no i can't explain the feeling #...#actually i think it was some mix of relief and elation with a dab of excitement #aaaand i've gone back to listening to the same 8 songs on repeat :)#anyway. hope my tags don't get cut lol--

i dont have the spoons to address the javascript stuff and am currently unable to edit my big boy muses page bc of it but shes here ( i’ll be writing her as an ai with an android body, but she can also project herself as a hologram or use an animated model on computers, etc )
