I think it’s going to be appreciate creators and their creations day now. Cause these things they put out there for us to see take a lot of time and energy. And they’re often times a part of the creator’s very self that they’ve decided to share with us. (This has been extended to a second day cause I got busy).

So if you have the time and the spoons available to do so please join me in sharing what you like about Linked Spirit and/or its creator.

I have really been enjoying Linked Spirit so far! The art style is just so…idk the word for it. Fantasy? Magical? Neither of those are quite right, but you get the idea. It’s pretty. And I adore how the character profiles are done for each of the Links. It’s brilliant. The comic has been coming along and I’ve been really enjoying the story as well! Poor Hero is having a rough time. But he’s doing his best (Marin. I’m sure you were trying to help, but hun please! This was not the way to help. I hope she learns the consequences of her actions soon enough.) Also!! Making Ordon a dad?! Brilliant. Top tier idea. Aror is the cutest. I adore him. I need to see him and his dad reunited. Like. In actual story. I’m really excited to see how Ordon is brought into the group in general actually. Considering he’s probably doing his best to get home atm we’ll see if he sees working with the group as beneficial to that or not. I’m looking forward to seeing how it all goes.

Omg ahhhhh thank you! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying it and are looking forward to seeing how things go!! I appreciate it so much. And also I've reread this like 3 time sndhslfhsk <3 <3

This is a long vent of stuff bcos this is like a therapeutic semi interactive void

I feel an insurmountable amount of stress atm. Like the amount i need to do is too much. I've got 16 days to write a 6000 word essay and i still haven't decided which question to do bcos I'm so horrible at making decisions and I've wasted loads of time reading 2 fat books and making so many notes on stuff that's not even relevant and my brain feels so full but also useless. And I've done basically 2 terms on affect theory and i still don't understand wtf it actually is, like there's this sceintific turn to affect which is looking at the body and the importance of emotions but like affect is more visceral and pre-emotions but then loads of queer, feminists are like affect and emotion can't even be separated and nothing is never not mediated, and i need to theorise my essay through this and like i have no idea what anything means anymore and i feel stupid. Then i also need to finish this project on queer objects and identity and turn all the crappy little drawings i've done for it into a finalised piece, and also need to theorise that (this is for a media module and they said our outcome can be creative but I'm really not sure how the marking for it will work and comparing my dumb little comic against someone's academic essay seems so strange idk) so i want to explain the creative process and sound intelligent somehow??? And I'm working all weekend then monday and tuesday too and I'm ill and every customer today MADE ME WANT TO SCREAM like it was just tooooo much and children are so loud and parents are so gross and half of them shouldn't be allowed kids?? Like a life is such a responsibility why isn't there a screening process before u give birth (i realise that's slightly eugenics-y but hey) performing all this emotional labour acting like I'm this helpful friendly person when really i want to SPOON OUT YOUR EYES is so exhausting and my manager is SO DUMB!!!!!!!!!!! And thennnn I'll literally have 4 months just to work on my dissertation with next to know structure or help and i think I'm gonna end up feeling lonely and unmotivated and doubtful and self deprecating. And THEN I'm done with education forever probabaly bcos will i ever somehow be able to do a phd??? Probably not??? And I'll be back feeling lost and scared and not knowing wtf to do with my life bcos i only know how to function in academia and i won't have a home anymore by september and the person I'm seeing will be moving back to america and I'm like pre emptively sad for my future sadness???? AHHHHHH Maybe i should try and get therapy again lol i stopped in August and haven't cried once since but used to cry for an hour straight every session, i am such an emotional mess but none of it helped in the slightest and actually mostly made me feel way worse so i dunnnooooo also hi there's over 10,000 of u now!? Like WHAT. thanks for putting up with these occasional text post emotional break downs. I promise i will post all the identity project work in progress pages soon and once i have some relative freedom after these deadlines i will draw more again xxxxx
