I really need to consider closing shop for a while after this month. I'm just so continuously burned out and depressed that all I do is work and sleep. but never fast enough. I'm off my medications. I'm always behind. I can't draw any more. I've lost feeling for everything that makes me happy. All I ever do is try to work on non-drawn things to sell to cover all my expenses for the month.

I have savings because I've been very strict with myself this year but I'm always worried if I close shop, it won't bounce back. But I've never been in a pit like this before. My friends don't even hear from me because I'm so depressed I just can't bring myself to talk any more.

All I can really say is thank to my Patrons making things less scary right now. I'm so thankful for the patience for new art while I'm trying my best to just function. And thank you to people who've been patient with my orders from the shop. I'm trying my best

starting to feel my enjoyment of cooking seeping back in after a long period of intense burnout that had me really slogging along preparing meals with gritted teeth for a good month there. i credit the return of this spark to the much needed break i took on our 3 day vacation that resulted in us eating solely theme park food. while delicious, in all its greasy overpriced glory, i found myself missing the kitchen. so last night for dinner i made heavily spiced chicken wings with crushed peppercorns and garam masala that rendered slowly in its own fat while roasting in the oven, resulting in flavorful charred crisp skin and a really juicy bite. we picked them clean over steamed rice with lime and scallions. i also baked a loaf of marbled pumpkin and dark chocolate bread yesterday for my neighbor as a thank you for doing me a favor last week. it looked delicious. the crumb was tender and plush and velvety, the spiced ginger molasses pumpkin batter swirling alongside the bitter dark chocolate espresso batter, with puddles of dark chocolate bubbling across its top. it looked so lovely i whipped up a second one for us to have for ourselves that's in the oven now, i think it could be a really good breakfast pastry for us this week.

Otakon's AMV contest allowed VHS submissions, and I knew I just had to submit the collab I edited with @astravis this way.

I hope it's clear why!

(It uses a lot of actual VHS footage.)

And I loved putting AMVs on tape so much that I quickly ordered a bunch of blank tapes online to compile all of my anime music videos this way.

(Short reel of a few of them.)

And, like, it's definitely far from perfect. My computer doesn't have an HDMI port, so I have to use a converter for that, and it's horrible quality. While that does add to the VHS aesthetic, it also makes some of the subtitles nigh impossible to read (as especially evident in the "First Time" video above). My digitization process also isn't exactly ideal, either.

But popping in a VHS tape of my videos and seeing that on the TV? Absolutely amazing. There is no other way I want to physically compile my AMVs. 10/10. MarshmallowGoop/MarshmallowGoop.

Would like to improve my process someday, but if anyone else is curious about how to make VHS tapes out of videos on your computer, I mostly followed this guide here!

saw a post last night complaining that the sound of music film and its popularity contribute to the "universalization of the holocaust" and that by depicting an austrian catholic gentile family's opposition to the nazi regime instead of being about jews, it paints some kind of false picture of who the nazis' real targets were. and i'm sorry but that is such a narrow minded, externally motivated reading of the film/musical. and i say this as a jew who broadly agrees that holocaust universalization and the sidelining of "the jewish problem" (as it was known in that era) in film and media is a genuine and pervasive problem. the sound of music...that is really not the right target for your ire, my friend

I'm trying to make art that is more in line with the art I want to make, visually speaking. My biggest inspirations are artists like Cicely Mary Barker, Alfonse Mucha, Tony DiTerlizzi and such, but I feel like the art I was making 10 years ago-- although not as technically good-- was more in line with my stylistic sensibilities. I'm in a rut creatively, and I wish I had some guidance or encouragement, or even some decent way to learn how to develop my style and use Procreate to work with me instead of feeling like I'm fighting against my medium. There is a fire in me, a desire to be an artist that I haven't felt in years suddenly rekindled with a fervor, but I feel completely lost in the throes of it with no idea how to channel it into my work. Anyway, peep the frog concept under the cut and tell me if it's worth making into a full piece.

I just saw @larz-barz 's post and I'm devastated. I mean I know I haven't been active much and I keep disappearing. So I feel like a bad friend for not seeing. But I accept her decision. I get it if anyone else decides to leave too. For me, I'm not leaving for probably another year or two because I still think I'll get somewhere here.. So..I'll try to be here more if anyone misses me.

There's something so gut wrenching about so many people head cannoning Janus name as Dante, the man who followed Virgil through hell, before it was revealed

I’m writing a scene with Peter into a fanfiction and he’s so dramatic when he talks I feel like his whole voice needs to be in italics. It’s like he’s reveling in every word he says it is so fucking funny. And he’s not like. A rich British guy or something. He’s just full of shit and I can’t help but be amused by him

Tumblr apparently decided that I'm better when I'm absentee because it definitely did not decide to tell me about this ask (or I was in an insomniac fugue and deleted the notification in a half-asleep state but that rarely happens so I'm blaming Tumblr).

ANYWAY! This is totes Peter for me so you are doing him exactly right. He's like if one guy in Clue picked up all the bludgeon-y murder weapons, walked around making sure everyone saw him with them while swinging them around violently, then waited for everyone to suspect him of something nefarious so he could then act the martyr when everyone found out the victim died from arsenic poisoning. Because if it's not about him, he's going to find a way to make it about him.
