One lures you in One drags you under
Follow not the golden flame,
For it might lead you to a hunter,
To bind you in their fiendish game

Morning sketch loadout, with 𝕲𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖒𝖔𝖌 - 𝕸𝖊𝖉𝖎𝖊𝖛𝖆𝖑 𝕵𝖔𝖚𝖗𝖓𝖊𝖞𝖘.
I use a cassette walkman for music while sketchbook drawing, keeping my phone in another room.
No temptation to browse or select songs, just letting the album take you on its JOURNEY. Spotify/Bandcamp/YT etc are great for finding new tunes, but too often I catch myself wasting 30-45 mins "making a productivity playlist" instead of actually... Drawing.
If you struggle with constant distraction as I do, next time you sit down to work, start an album or playlist, and then DON'T TOUCH IT! Try to go for an hour or until the music ends.
Analog media like tapes make this easy, but you can still do it with digital with some impulse control.
Try it. I GUARANTEE you'll see improvements and have a lot more fun with your craft.

Haugbúi. Ink and brush on paper.
A variation of the draugr is the haugbui (from Old Norse haugr' "howe, barrow, tumulus") which was a mound-dweller, the dead body living on within its tomb. The notable difference between the two was that the haugbui is unable to leave its grave site and only attacks those who trespass upon their territory

a brief respite, and an experiment
transcription below
D: "Wizard, are you alright?"
A: "I'm okay. Just tired. The past few days have been a lot, you know?"
D: "I understand."
D: "You have been in motion almost constantly. Living things need… rest. Hibernation? Sleep. And as far as I can recall, you have gotten very little in our time together."
A: "I've been busy! You needed help, and then the people here needed my help, then there was the whole thing with the Old One. I haven't had time to rest."
D: "I see…"
D: "You are trying to do good, right? To help everyone? Yes, I cannot find fault in such a motivation. I still think you should take a moment to recover your strength. Something tells me you will need it."
D: "But I will not question your lack of sleeping."
(He leans back against the wall.)
A: "Can I try something?"
D: "Try what?"
A: "Trust me?"
D: "I do."
D: "What-- What is--"
A: "I'm hugging you."
D: "…Oh."
A: "Wasn't entirely sure it would work. But I figured if the World Synth was making you real enough to be seen, and real enough to interact with things, maybe it'd make you real enough for this, too."
D: "A re-- reasonable assumption. This is nice. This is-- good."
A: "I'm glad it's not too much."
D: "Oh, no, I am completely overwhelmed. But it is worth it."
