if yall ever want like serious advice from me about how to solve burnout as a creative it's like...
literally ignore it. stop pushing. go do something else, enjoy your life, fill it with other things, do what brings you joy in the moment if you can.
go to the gym, take a walk to touch grass and look at dogs and smell flowers, cook dinner, watch tv with your friends, talk about your feelings as needed with ppl you trust, take a drive and blast your music, do the chores you need to do, the job hunting slog you need to do, read books that aren't for research, stop cordoning off your brain for The Craft or The Draft or whatever the fuck
forget about the project, stop thinking about it for as long as it takes to be excited again.
fuckin rest, basically

Dungeon Meshi cast in order of weirdness:
Chilchuck - Chilchuck is just a regular dude. obvs he has a degree of weirdness due to being (presumably??) a career adventurer but i think if you took him out of that setting he'd just be a regular & chill guy
Senshi - Senshi is eccentric moreso than weird. i think if he really wanted to he could go above ground and socialise and act like a regular guy. he is simply choosing not to do that.
Marcille - Marcille thinks she is the one normal person in the group. she is wrong.
Laios - jesus fuck where do i start

I've come to the conclusion that the best way to quit bad habits and start good habits is to pair them, like goes with like, and then replace them one at a time. Figure out why you do The Bad Activity and what Good Activity would scratch the same itch. Wanting to start fights on the internet just for the sake of arguing either means you want social contact, and you should try catching up with friends instead, or you're in the need of intellectual stimulation, and you should try reading a book instead.
If you want to pick at something you're not supposed to pick at, give your hands something else that you're allowed to pick at. Dogs that don't have chew toys will chew on walls, and your hands have the urge to do things. If you're fiddling with stuff you shouldn't fiddle with, try gettin a stim toy. If a stim toy is insufficient and you still want to pick on your face or nails until they bleed, try finding a hobby that you do with your hands. Knitting, crafting, those adult colouring books, tearing unsalvageable old bedsheets into long strips and then braiding fabric strips for no reason.
And it doesn't have to be a 100% thing either. I've replaced roughly 30% of my fucking-around-on-the-internet-doing-fuck-all time with reading a silly book and painting Warhammer figurines, and I've been much happier.

The other day I told a friend of mine that I never forget to take my ADHD meds because I fucking love my ADHD meds. I'm in my late 30s, I didn't finally get a diagnosis and meds until less than two years ago, and they have changed my entire life.
And he raised his eyebrow at me. We'd been discussing addictive medications a few minutes before, like the Tramadol I finally got from the pain specialist to take once a week or so to give me a break from my chronic pain, so I reassured him that methylpenidate (Ritalin/Concerta) is not addictive (at least not in people with ADHD).
His response? To raise his eyebrow even harder and say "Well it sure SOUNDS like it's addictive!"
And I had to explain to this man - who works in a healthcare related job by the way - that just because medication makes you feel good and helps you, just because you look forward to taking it, that doesn't make it addictive or dangerous. And he wasn't convinced.
The simple fact that I was excited to take a daily pill that has literally changed my life, after decades of fighting to get that medication, made him think I shouldn't be taking it so often. That it must inherently be dangerous.
I'm not even in America, but I'm pretty sure this attitude began there and then spread over here to Europe. This Puritan idea of "if something feels good, you must beware of it. Pleasure is dangerous, it is sinful, it is addiction, it is evil."
I know too many people who subconsciously believe that pleasure = addictive = dangerous = bad. Joy is a slippery slope to hell.
So here is your reminder for today that you don't need to be afraid of feeling good. If something improves your life, use it. Even if it is addictive - learn what that addiction means, whether the addiction is inherently dangerous or not, and whether the benefits outweigh the drawbacks and risks.
My ADHD meds are, in fact, not addictive. But I will take them every day because they make my life orders of magnitude easier. I will enjoy them every time I take them.
My tramadol is addictive. I will still take it. I will keep it on a schedule to avoid becoming addicted, primarily because addiction in this case would mean reduced effectiveness. But I am not afraid of my painkillers. They are life changing.
Take your meds, everyone. Don't let anyone scare you away from doing something that improves your life.

Dungeon Meshi is about a quirked up white boy on a quest to save his sister and perhaps indulge his special interest along the way. He's a man of pure heart who has done nothing but help anyone he's met. Then part way through the story you start seeing other pov characters and it turns out every single person who has met him outside his party has read his awkward social skills and love for grilling as a sign of something deeply evil and has vowed to kill him on sight.

With so many elections coming up worldwide it's probably a good time to remind everyone that tumblr once got infested with agents trying to convince everyone not to vote, or not to vote left because the candidates weren't morally pure enough.
Also a reminder that they were better at tumblr than most of us, comrade interloper was great at memeing. Like, the talent!
Anyway don't fall for it. There is no morally pure option.
#the concept of a bridge is a really important one#you don't get where you want to be overnight#it takes a long period of sustained effort#where there will be opposition trying to push the world in other directions#or undermine your efforts
