I've been thinking of this and been meaning to post for a few days now. But woe is me to be stricken with such severe executive dysfunction. Rare is it for me to have the energy, desire and motivation to actually do a thing I've been wanting/meaning to. A few days thinking about posting here is really one of the smallest instances I can think of.

I'm really not suited to a diurnal workflow either, normally only ramping up to do anything in the peace of night, of course also factoring that I seemingly don't build the momentum to do anything unless I've already been up long enough that I'd want to go to bed.

(Shout out to sleep!)

Been meaning to get back to trying to stream for a while. My excuse for that being wanting to change my usernames first, only for the one I thought was free to be taken. That doesn't excuse not working on other 'stream prep' stuff though, working on overlays and just studied up on how the software/websites worked.

Or as something I've been meaning to do since I'd made the accounts, with the desire to try Vtubing it, I've been wanting to try and model/animate* a character for myself. I have been watching a few vids on it, made a few basic models stumbled on texturing/shading never got to rigging/animating. And I've just been watching more videos on it over the last few days too but not actually modelled as much.

Case in Point re: executive dysfunction: I just got distracted from writing this for around two hours.

Due to said distraction I'm a little lost on the flow of things now, could end up rambling way more than I'd like so I'll try to be somewhat concise to finish up.

I was thinking of streaming in a little while but I'm as of yet undecided, somewhat tired but I'd like to stay up for a while regardless so maybe. Not sure if I can link things in a post so in case that will be an issue I'll just say the name of my Twitch (if there's links then disregard as much as is necessary):

If anyone might be interested a follow would always be appreciated, also let me know if/what you stream and I'll try to drop in at some point.

In the meantime if you want to give any suggestions of some relatively simple things for me to try and model I wouldn't mind... I'm working on low poly stuff so keep that in mind though.

*unsure if animate is accurate could be depending on how I do things but doesn't feel accurate if I was to use face tracking, at the same time though I'd essentially be making sprite sheets for things so maybe it does count, don't think it matters to much though, I just have a compulsion to be as clear about things as I can (more ramblin') but trying to just finish this now.

So yeah, I'll just sign off for now with something I made not in Blender (PicoCAD) some time ago.

I just read your couple of posts. We have such a bot problem on Tumblr that us old timers will block right away any blog that doesn't regularly post.

My advice (feel free to ignore) is to post and pin a short about me including your age, especially if you follow or intend to reblog anything spicy. If you are comfortable doing so, put links to your aesthetic blogs for like minded people. Finally, post at least a little something here on a regular basis so people know you're around and human.

Thanks for the advice. I'm pretty bad for sticking with this and have so far only really been looking at it before bed. I had (have) a bit of analysis paralysis regarding what to post and hadn't even thought to make any aesthetic blogs. There was something I was going to post but then was thinking about trying to gather up my pics for it (OC but just collating them for easy upload then order and formatting but that's just me getting sidetracked now) then though I'd upload on PC instead of through app then something something forgot or couldn't remember log in. Not sure if I've even verified my email but I thought I had but now I can't check without resetting my password but hassle. Good shout for the bio thing though. I delayed at first thinking I'd get a sense of the general format of it but then I just didn't. I'll try to do that. If I don't end up not opening the app again for over week again and forgetting about it. I'll probably avoid reblogging stuff, at least until I have a better idea of how it all works anyway. My understanding of it at the moment leads me to think if there were a lot of mutual follows that peoples' feed would just fill with the same posts? idk. I'll probably stick to my own stuff for now anyway.

Thanks again for the advice though if I'm not already blocked for being inactive and you see this that is ¶:

An actual profile pic would probably help too...

I was thinking I'd be more active here. Maybe I will be. I'm still mostly saving gifs moodboards and art I like, some from the handful of accounts I've followed and a lot from either my 'For You' feed or searching shows or whatever and seeing what's here.

I probably shouldn't stress posting here too much (I say in my second post second time saying I shouldn't stress it) but I get in my head about creating obligations for myself and then feeling bad for not sticking to them then just spiraling and giving up on things all together. Even now I can't help but think to myself 'I should try to post once a week' and 'I should set it to a specific day for consistency ' but I know that would eventually just lead to the blog being abandonedcall together so I just need to fat dog it.

That is, if I do want to call it a blog, I guess not a misnomer but just not sure of what I'll post, maybe some pixel art or stories or maybe get involved in communities that interest me.

I'm so tired, no sleep in a while, keep continuing this post in my head but not knowing what's going on when I realized. I'm just going to end here because I need sleep and also my keyboard is acting up so I should take it as a sign and sleep.

[saturnine-changeling]

I don't have much experience with Tumblr other using it to collect gifs. I would like to engage with the site and some of it's communities in earnest though it's an admittedly daunting idea. I don't really know what I'm doing right now but just thought I'd post something instead of being paralyzed by indecision.

First stumbling block was the name of the blog, not deciding it but afterwards debating whether I'd write 'in character', I've opted against that.

I should maybe say some of my interests and stuff? I feel like I'd spend ages not knowing what to include so I'll make another post later. For now I'll just needlessly agonize over the tags...
