Brain Recharge: 3 Essential Rests You Need for Peak Cognitive Performance
I explain "Why Sleep, Mental Breaks, and Downtime Are the Secret Weapons Your Brain Needs to Thrive and Slow Aging"
Why Sleep, Mental Breaks, and Downtime Are the Secret Weapons Your Brain Needs to Thrive and Slow Aging Last year, I wrote an essay that truly opened some eyes — and I wasn’t surprised. Why? Because I’ve been there myself. When I was younger, I used to think that sleep and rest were luxuries, something I could sacrifice for the sake of productivity. I pushed myself hard, ignoring the signs…

I really like Machete and Vasco, but I was wondering how many more OCs you have? I remember seeing some kind of dog deity on your twitter account and I've been wondering who it was ever since. 🤔
You can find most if them in my toyhouse! I still haven't added some of the most recent ones, like Ludovica.
My stats there seem to claim I have 97 characters listed, but none of them are as developed and active as Machete and Vasco. Many have just a design and a couple of core traits.
Unfortunately I can't say which one you might've seen back in twitter.
#answered#anonymous#it's a big number but listen#in a world where so many things cost money or other resources#coming up with little dog creatures for fun is 100% free and unobstructive and harmless#if anything it makes you stretch your brain creatively a little and stuff like that is good for you#and even if I want to put focus on just two of them right now it's not like the rest are a limited time thing#they won't expire like an opened can of mayonnaise left in the fridge for too long

We ARE going to bring up Captain Amelia. You have good taste! GOOD TASTE I SAY! *aka I just rewatched Treasure Planet and got hit with, "Oh yeahhhhh... that explains a lot!"*
honestly, the Meg/Jasmine/Amelia trifecta tells you 90% about me as a person. (the rest is covered by Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Uranus and, uhhh, I'll stop baring my soul to the world now)
and speaking of Amelia, this is tangential, but like -- there's one Twst comic I have been kicking at for a while where I needed an RSA sports/flight teacher and, uh, well
someday I will wrangle this stupid comic into coherency and she'll get to make an appearance (in the background of a single panel, half-obscured by a tall hat) (but I will know she's there and that's the important thing)
#art#twisted wonderland#twst oc#my plan worked i've tricked you all into looking at my anime catgirl oc#she exists to yell at some rsa boys so she doesn't really have like. a character or story or anything. sorry!#(her name is alexandria north and that is what she considers a sporty outfit. that's as far as i got)#this is the one that is mainly about silver and neige having a mutual bluebird friend and i am having terrible trouble making it not suck#which given some of the stuff i post should tell you something about how it's going so far#(it's just kind of an incoherent mess of ideas at this point. nothing specific just ~the creative process~)#maybe the rest of episode 7 will give my brain the kickstart it needs. depends on how that goes i guess#god. the next episode 7 bit drops in (probably) just a few days.#I'M NOT READY#i have simultaneously never been ready and always been ready#i exist in a perpetual state of impatience

-turns myself into a Paper Mario Partner-
I'm a Pokey :>
Note: the sprite is incorrect, the regular cactus tail is perfect.
I gave myself arms & hands cuz I thought it'd be funny and tbh I really vibe with the look of it.
you can see my design concepts and 2 other ideas for what species I'd be that I got from 2 different quizzes I took.
In the end I felt like the Pokeys deserve some love, they're just funky little cacti creatures <3
almost forgot the sprite sheet below:
#my art#phone art#paper mario#mario boo#pokey#shadow siren#super mario#mario#my gif#pixel art#gif warning#I've been watching a TTYD playthrough and my brain wouldn't let me rest until I did this sdkjdsfjsfdhhfds#if I had the creativity to do it I'd design a ghost pokey for me. but this is the best I can do cuz idk HOW a ghost pokey could look#I do imagine a ghost variant Pokey would just mindlessly go through walls at a leisurely pace. maybe a slightly different colored--#--variant of the ghost Pokey would be homing in on Mario at all times as an enemy? hmmm...#imagine another variant that starts off looking like a stagnant head but as mario gets closer it reveals its full body and blocks Mario--#--unless Mario runs and jumps just in time. do a spin jump off its head/spikes and bounce right past it

who found a new photoshop painting technique and is having a goddamn blast?? *raises hand* here's a little yen painting i did practicing this technique.
yeah, yeahhhhh i guess i'm embracing my season of art and vids.
#conceptualizing my phases of creativity as seasons i think has been good for me to embrace again and feel less guilty about the pile of WIPs#the wips are resting#just like that part of my brain#while the rest of the brain rages on with everything else#will circle back to the writing wips later#anywayyyyy art and vids and more art and more vids for now#i love yennefer#my witcher fanart#my fanart#artdora#yennefer#yennefer of vengerberg#witcher fanart

hyunjin on bubble: im drawing and i started wondering why i even draw. so i can’t sleep.. staying in that period of transition. the reason why i keep asking these questions and trying to find answers is, i think it’s because i believe that it’s only those who love me, that can help me find an answer or a path. because thinking about and questioning things that you don’t really need to think about and answering those questions is contradicting in itself.. is what i think? (translation source)
#hyunjin#🧼#skz#my baby.. ☹️ four am thoughts eating him hard..#hope he can get some of the bestest sleep of his life after pondering and wondering like this#mentally patting his brain like buddy u work really hard now rest for a bit#also to answer to his first question of#why he’s even drawing. i think art runs in your veins and it just needs a creative outlet to get out and shine.#maybe that’s one of the many reasons..#maybe u find comfort in the beauty of the canvas and brush strokes.#maybe u want to make people happy and warm with your creations

After everything that happened, I honestly just want MC and the brothers to get some sleep
Like, that's it, that's all I want. After the big reunion MC tells the brothers that they're all in need of some good rest, and everyone immediately agrees to go change into their PJs and meet back at Lucifer's room 10 minutes later ( because he's the one with the large ass bed ). And they do just that, they all meet in Lucifer's room, hop on the bed, and finally have a good night's sleep. For the first time in months.
#that's the rewrite I made in my brain. because let's be honest they all desperately need it#I mean there's no way any of them have been been getting decent amounts of sleep being away from each other in such circumstances#they're all exhausted and even more traumatized than before#so yeah this family needs rest#let them rest#obey me#obey me nightbringer#omnb#omnb lesson 40#obey me lucifer#obey me mammon#obey me leviathan#obey me satan#obey me asmodeus#obey me beelzebub#obey me belphegor#om brothers#☙ no creativity for names ✾#100+

I hate it when my chronic illnesses are chronic and my disabilities are disabling and my seasonal affective disorder is seasonally affecting me
#sorry that i've been complain-y lately but it is truly not my time right now.#i've got a dr's appt scheduled to hopefully get some meds to help but I am going THROUGH it in the meantime.#I'm no stranger to headaches and pain and lethargy and dizziness etc but it is just persistent right now on all fronts.#but I am okay and I will persevere. and I started a new animal crossing save file so that's keeping me semi-occupied.#I wish I had more brain space for creative endeavors right now but if I need to just rest through it unproductively then so be it!#at least it's just a regular flare-up and not covid or flu-A or noro. the call is coming from inside the house for better or worse I guess.#at least I can pretty confidently say that this isn't actively dangerous so much as it's just incapacitating.#i could not say the same if it were something else so we take wins where we can get them I guess!#btw all 3 of those aforementioned things are spiking right now last I checked so it is a good time to mask if you don't already!

#just got taken very off guard by a big room remix of mozart's lacrimosa and the experience did NOT spark joy#horrible. i keep going back to the playlist it was on and listening to 30 seconds and getting mad all over again#not bc i believe in the sanctity of lacrimosa but bc i don't like it#ko and sierra aren't responding to my messages probably because they are spending quality time with family!!#but EYE do not have quality time with family. and my brain is swiss cheese from too much church#please god let him be a girl dad do not let him have a boy to put into hockey#i mean you can put the girl in hockey but we do NOT need pat sieloff jr (boy) into hockey#pat sieloff continuing proof that every single bone in your body can be broken and you have like negative muscle ligaments#but you can still be so so so so cute and happy with your wife in pictures announcing baby sieloff 🥰🥰#the weather is making me UNWELL. like physically i was not built for this weather i was built for heat not cold#BUT mentally also. please explain to me why i outlined an entire advent liturgy -- all four sundays -- based around hockey#LIKE NOBODY NEEDS A PRAYER OF CONFESSION AROUND HOCKEY#and it fucking WHIPS is the worst part. it was only an outline but if i spent more than 3 hours on it. well someone should a do wellness ch#ck is what should happen. we don't need hockey liturgy no one needs that#the thing is i am so fucking burnt out and just exhausted by all of it (<- what christmas/advent will do to a mfer) but i love#writing liturgy. it's so fun. it's like creative nonfiction#so then i was like well what if i did lent and baseball. which tracks much better yk ending the darkness and the coming light#and then i was like. interesting. what urgent tasks am i avoiding by doing all this. what medication am i not taking#white knuckling it ONE DAY LEFT OF CHURCH NONSENSE AND THEN I CAN ROT IN MY LIVING ROOM FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR#oh my god is it past midnight already i've been working on this post for like two hours and keep getting distracted#if the classical music station played ''mozart's final rave (lacrimosa)'' by oliver heldens at 7am i would certainly get out of bed :/#fresno oilers.txt

Self-mandated “no drawing” night. This is painful.
#I have been exhausted since I woke up this morning and I think it’s fatigue from the vaccines!#I really need to completely rest because I didn’t quite take it easy this weekend like I should have#telling myself I can take it easy on academics/doing homework is relatively easy#but then my brain goes ‘ah! then we have time for creativity! right?’#no brain! sometimes we really do need to do Nothing and tonight is one of those times#but it’s still fighting me! I keep thinking of my next piece. but my next piece will be better when I’m not drop dead exhausted!

It's been so long since I did digital art and posted it - I have done a little behind the scenes, but it's all promo for Oathbreaker and [new title of Sigil's Resolve] so I can't post it yet, and also it's not very good. I kind of don't even miss doing digital art very much? I mostly miss having done it.
#i do not really control the path my creative impulses take on the way out of my brain#it's as much as i can do to keep the 'novel' river flowing i don't have time to manage#whether the rest of it goes into crafts or art or generators or whatever
