Remaining kitties for the garden

Here are all the kitties who didn't make it to the website and their pet screens c:

^The regular kitties (The nothing option would make Error show up and just kinda glare at everybody lol and there would be mirror and paper bag options to see Dust and Horror again)

^The winter kitties (The snow option would bring out Blue and Dream, the christmas lights brought Fresh and the stocking was Ink)

^The special pairs (I don't think any of these made it to the polls lol but putting out a bed would bring Horror and Dust together, putting out a rainbow cushion would bring Color and Killer (this was how you would finally be able to pet him) and putting down comic books would bring Epic and Cross, who would finally purr when pet with his bestie)

Monkey MK: "There's something inside you, that you can't control. You know what you are, deep down. A beast, a monster—harbinger of chaos! This thing, that wants to hurt, that wants to destroy, that wants chaos! You're so terrified to let it out! But the truth is, you like it. It makes you feel strong. It's who you are!"

(5x04 The Storm Within)

Nine: "No, I told you, I get out either way! But, I have had enough of control, enough of watching people put themselves in cages! Of...watching them push away the chaos, when the chaos is what makes them who they are!"

Like 70% of the reason I like posting Look Outside art so much is that I don't really have to adhere to any rigid art rules I've set for myself. Like it's important to remember the basics, especially if you wanna improve but there does come a point where you obsess over the rules of art so much that you just stop making it and you go into a slump because of it.

Before I'd draw my sdv farmer oc and think "Is his nose too wide?" "That's not the right face shape for him, start over." "His muscles look wonky, look at some references." And it got really exhausting. I'd obsess over getting it right as opposed to actually finishing anything and I think that got to me for a bit, only having unsatisfied gesture sketches that I didn't wanna show anybody, scribbles that pissed me off.

Look Outside art has definitely been a big help on that front. Because when it comes to making horror art you do need to understand what you're doing but you also have to know when to twist it and alter it so it becomes scary/ horror. Like I know the rules and how to stylise accordingly but now I don't have to worry about actually sticking to those rigid rules. In fact I need to throw that shit to the wayside to actually see what I want. It's been really nice to do that. And it definitely helped with my literal dozens of wips that I'll never finish nor post. Like instead of being mad about not finishing anything I kind of just look at it as a solid attempt, that I actually made something even if I never fully saw it through.

I'm not saying Look Outside improved my art skills 1 billion percent or anything but I'd definitely say it helped me feel a lot more satisfied with my art, regardless of it's status of completion. Like I'll still definitely have art that will never be posted but at least I won't look at it and hate myself for not finishing it. It's been fun to drawing melting flesh and pulsing veins with bloody gums and crackling arms but not having to care so much has definitely helped my art skills. Hell even in recent non-Look Outside related art I feel better about it. Like I'm no longer forcing it out anymore. It feels like I'm drawing for me again, I really missed drawing for myself.

something something foils moving in opposite directions Goku's always happy to seek and fight stronger opponents because he spent most of his life being the strongest guy in the room and Vegeta wants to be the strongest/is always exhausted to find stronger opponents because he spent most of his life having to navigate his survival around the whims of the strongest guy in the universe room and so Goku has a foundation of safety and stability and so spends his time craving challenge and adventure and Vegeta has a foundation of challenge and adventure and spends his time craving safety and stability and the overlaid section of their venn diagram is that the only way they know how acquire and maintain those things is through battle

Lent's over, back on Tumblr, had a chocolate chip cookie after breakfast, I'm cosy after a very cold 6:30am sunrise service, life is good today ✨

//Just a little update: I decided to no longer fine-tune my writing to a point where I’m nitpicking everything and a reply takes me over 2 - 3 hours to write. It seriously kills my muse for writing each time. I still fine-tune it after I’ve written the first version, but I’ll no longer write it over and over again. That’s the reason why I always take so long to reply or… just fail to find the energy to write at all. English isn’t my first language and I want it to be perfect. But I reflected during my small break on what’s more important: having fun writing or making writing a job while matching people’s amazing writing skills, which I never achieved anyway, but that’s beside the point. I consciously chose to have fun and that comes at the cost of a more simplistic writing style. 

I hope this doesn’t push people away, but I really want RP to be a hobby again.

have been experiencing a somewhat unpleasant phenomena on occasion recently wherein i become convinced, in a sort of “not-upset-just-disappointed” way, that virtually everything i've ever written is trite and stupid and worthless. a fun twist on this is that sometimes i instead feel that i have lost my touch and that everything i will ever write from here on out is doomed to be trite and stupid and worthless. i'd like to emphasize that for whatever reason i don't really find this distressing, just a little bit of a bummer. it would be cool if it stopped though i think that would be really swag

one thing I don't have an explanation for and will never get used to that somehow, the worst smell I've encountered in a day will stay with me for a lot longer than and long after I was exposed to it

finally cleaning out my pictures folder after leaving it mostly unorganized for about um. 8 or so years and stumbled across a couple very very early (as in pre-atbb) human papyrus designs and caught myself thinking "wow these designs are boring i'm so glad i broke his nose"

Not feeling great abt some of my creative endeavors rn

[sugurau]

working on my 'it worked out okay' au and it just makes me sad to think about what could've been. suguru is a teacher in this au as expected, but i'm just thinking about what it was like, coming back from the ledge. being able to have that talk with satoru, with shoko. i think another talk with yuki occurs. suguru realizing that he isn't alone, that these thoughts he's having are borne of trauma and rage and grief, that he's just a broken boy who was almost painfully, irrevocably, misguided.

in this verse i'm working on, i am playing with the concept of him, unfortunately, still slaughtering that village. he takes in mimiko and nanako. he is very much removed from jujutsu high for a while as he is evaluated as a threat. suguru gets a lot of help but i do think he's still rather deeply mistrusted by many in the community now, even after he's cleared, especially because he's a special grade and his fall from grace can eventually become a very important, teachable moment for others. it just takes...a lot for everyone to trust him again.

most people, i mean. i think some know his heart regardless.

I hate how many of my brain things become self perpetrating loops of feeling bad.

Today was "I feel like a burden" day. Which is a really, really hard feeling to tell people about because telling someone that I feel bad because I feel like a burden makes me feel like even more of a burden.

I already know that most people don't think of me as a burden, which makes me feel terrible because I can't help feeling like one. Which makes me feel like a burden because I can't even deal with that, and then it loops.

I know the thoughts aren't true. But the fact that I can't shake them makes me feel worse. Annoyingly.

think I might genuinely identify as aroace. which is weird because I'm probably The most hopelessly romantic person and The person who most believes in the power of love and existence of unconditional love, out of everyone I know.
