I think that Orym actually does doubt Imogen, but this isn't a thing that is unique to Imogen. Orym doubts all of them to an extent, because paranoia is something he struggles with (and this is continuously reinforced by the story).
It's not a 'good' thing that he should never get over, nor is it an immoral character flaw that proves he actually hates Imogen. However it's also not something I think he can get over as long as the threat of having to possibly fight his friends exists.
"I have all the faith in the world in you guys, all of you. And I have also spent time thinking how to neutralize each of you."
#cr discourse#critical role#cr3#orym#text post#people talk about orym being hypervigilant and then deny his behaviour created out of that hypervigilance#but also see people being weird about orym due to this. you can dislike him all you want but some people are doing too much#“he hates imogen! she has given him no reason to doubt her! she is good” guys its literally just paranoia#he doesn't need a reason to doubt her nor any of them. he just does due to their uncertainty about everything#this group is impulsive. shown by their 'we are an improv group' response to the question 'whats your plan to stop the end of the world'#this is all in line with oryms usual level of slightly paranoid behaviour which is exasperated and justified by the story#he followed fearne away from camp when she wanted to do something on her own but then she was jumped and nearly killed#that paranoia was proven correct#again the next night when he slept with a sword on his back after fearnes dad threatened to come back and attack her friends#and he was attacked in his sleep (by laudna but at the time he didnt know that)#then imogen told the whole group that she and laudna considered giving into the darkness together#something that both ladies then expressed they wanted orym to take them out if they went too far#this is just a result of all of this#so i think this is a non-issue. if you like it great. if you dont then whatever#just this time it rubbed people the wrong way because of irl hang ups of people valuing their own personal privacy#the same way any kind of mind stuff 'modify memory' or psychic reading of minds without permission rubs me personally the wrong way

I've been working on a pretty long comic (~20 pages) for Robin for a few days now, and after drawing the same page for the 7th time, I realized one thing:
My drawing skills have deteriorated
This is bad, very bad, for me at least. I suspect it's because, first, I've been too stressed for some time now and second, I've been focused on fast drawing (to answer ask, just sketches to capture ideas,...) for the past months without actually honing my color and render skill.
So here's the plan: I'm sorry to say this but I need to take a break from drawing fast. And by that, I mean actually stopping myself from wanting to answer every asks with a drawing :) I swear it has become a habit, my ask box is full of short-content temptations. I may not be able to post daily anymore for some time, but I hope every time I do, I can bring up something I can look back and be proud of.
This is something do to with an artist's self-esteem. I want to create something with more skill for the next months, and then after that or some time between, if I need to take some light and carefree break, I will switch back to fast sketches :D
Of course, I will still draw DoL. I love this game and my PCs. So if that's okay with you, hope you can stay and watch me grow a little more. I'm grateful for everyone's encouragement and I will never stop feeling that way.
Thanks for reading~ I should take my much-needed rest now UwU
#dol pc#dollya art#robin the orphan#dol robin#dol#degrees of lewdity#I guess this is a very deep slump and I'm trying to get through with it as best as I can#I just need time#peer pressure is something too horrible for me too#and yet it is what it is#better improve myself if I don't want to be throw out#Lya the Blossom

#shitpost#dd talks#I’m gonna ramble in the tags because I’m too afraid arughghg#but do y’all remember that chara parody animation of stronger than you#yeah the person remade it and it is amazinggg srsly go watch it#but it gave me that feeling that every great animation does which is insecurity#augahegdhjshej i wanna be good I really go but I just can’t be on the grind#I don’t know how to improve other than- keep doing it :\#I also feel like the fact that I’m always alone when I wanna do my personal work#isn’t really awesome- it’s that thing where you need to be around other people to work#but I don’t have a lot of animation friends#or undertale friends that I could chat or vc often enough with to be productive#I JUST WANNA LOCK IN AND BE GOOD#I WANNA MAKE SOMETHING BE ABLE TO LOOK BACK AND NOT SEE MISTAKES FOR ONCEEEEE#yeah yeah i get that seeing said mistakes means i am improving but tbh#it feels more like I only see them because I can get so lazy with animation- I get passionate during the planning stage and my motivation#plummets#this is turning into a vent#anyways y’all should watch it#the remade animation I mean

please can we have more jimmy and impulse.
collabs, streams, heck even a life series team
i just really really want to call them jimpulse
#fdgnjmg#please#i need the punnage in my life#i also think.. jimmys quite similar to skizz?#(so they'd probably get along sorry forgot to finish that thought)#but at the same time#his humour is different#so when hes with people who hes newer to it seems almost like he's..#i dont want to say trying too hard but his humour sometimes doesn't have a place with them? or doesn't hit as well? or something?#and impulse can be like that too sometimes?#cause hes always trying to get better at improv-ing interactions#and hes always changing stuff to improve be it tech or editing#so i think...#idk they both put a lot of effort in and sometimes depending on what group they're in it isn't fully appreciated?#that got a little bit analyzy#tldr: i like them and think they need to work together more often#jimmy solidarity#impulsesv#jimpulse#<leaving it right there#its a good pun#guess the build#build and seek#life series#pixls things

I like Kabu's choice of honourific hehe#Both of theirs! The way it reflects their ages and how they feel about each other ♪ Expectations and respect and ahh#It's nice#What is Kabu talking about?

Kabu listens to him talk excitedly about the things he likes - share that stage and enjoy the enthusiasm#Passion can be very enticing hehe#Sighed just a little too wistfully - sounded like boredom but no!

the challenge of wanting an extra name (need a second middle name) and being the kind of nerd who would name yourself after fictional characters but also being exclusively weird about deeply awful characters whom nobody in their right mind would name themselves after ... devastating
#i want a welsh middle name for Family Heritage Reasons#the search is not going well#the criteria: can't begin with certain letters (L or M in particular)#needs to have one or two syllables (3 is too many and unbalances my name)#and ideally not a character who did like. war crimes or something#gender wise should be neutral-to-masc#i have one feminine name already so want to counterbalance it!#pearsanta#(i need a second middle name because my initials are unfortunate and i wanna improve them)

You learned japanese? (asking from the tags on the language poll)
I started studying it back in middle school! I’m not quite as good as I should be with this many years of experience (=inept) but it’s a lot of fun to learn and practice!
#cactus-genome#thanks for the ask!#Got to do it throughout high school and a little in undergrad#Now just trying to maintain/improve it lol#I need to commit to actually watching something without subtitles#I think that would definitely help with the listening#But reading isn’t bad#As long as there isn’t too much kanji I don’t know#in which case it’s like half the text has been redacted 🙈

A builder who totally understands where X is coming from, collecting all those shinies for Coco, because she also likes shiny things, and has been secretly leaving pretty rocks on Unsuur's porch for weeks now.
#my time#my time at sandrock#sandrock#X#X and Fang#Unsuur#Builder#each of my builders I HC to be a little bit different#Rave loves dancing and is a total extravert - she may be book smart; but doesn't tend to act like it#Zurika likes shiny things and wants to fight. She's not angry; she just really wants to fight.#Sparring; monster fighting; whatever lets her improve those skills.#Rave learned to fight because it became important to know how in Sandrock.#She enjoys sparring now; and takes pride in the skill; but it didn't start that way for Rave.#Zurika learned how to fight because her parents weren't there to stop her anymore#Zurika is a good sport; just as happy to lose a fight as to win one; as long as she can learn something from it#Rave likes relics and books. Zurika likes sparklies and daggers.#Zurika and Rave both like parkour though. Parkour; and Going Fast 🏃♀️🏃♀️#Zurika is plenty smart too - she just doesn't like books that much. She likes listening to stories or lectures; or watching old videos.#Rave has books and diagrams to look back on as needed; and does write some notes. Zurika just Remembers. Everything.#Sidenote; I really like X.#X is awesome 👌 Solid bro; silly little guy; I love the bird. Take some glass; my man. Have a scorpion on the house.#Love his cute relationship with Coco.

I wrote 1400 words today in 3 hours, which is absolutely nuts for me (usually I write in like 1, max 2 hour sessions, and get like 200-500 done on days that I write). I'm tempted to write more, but I'm just about to finish the first big scene of the chapter and if I leave that for myself tomorrow that gives me a really easy starting point to get into a good flow again.
My chapters are usually about 6k-7k on average. I warned y'all in advance that I expected this to be the longest chapter in the entire fic, because this (and ch 16+17) are going to be the most character development-heavy, climactic parts of the narrative. And since I'm want to make this chapter in particular hit like a motherfucker, I am being very generous about not rushing the pacing here. So far Chapter 15 is 4500 words, and my god do I want to write more of it right now, but I know damn well that overall writing more consistently in shorter sessions gives me much better results so I'm going to let my creative batteries recharge.
Normally, I don't make my writing any longer than it needs to be, because I am able to take the events of what could be a 15k chapter and make it just as effective in, say, 5-7k, and it's taken a lot of skill development to be able to do that successfully and without much difficulty. However, (I hope) I have enough practice with the "rules/standards" of "good writing" that I'm experimenting with breaking that particular convention intentionally.
Which is... not usually what my readers expect from my updates lmao. So I'm giving y'all a warning in advance:
I'm gonna estimate that this chapter's gonna be 13k-15k. Probably 12k at the absolute minimum. Will it actually take too much longer than a regular chapter? Probably not a whole lot because I'm in the creative-energy-overflow stage of chapter writing that gets me so in the zone that I've powered through half the chapter in a week before I know it.
#hannah's rambles#“I wrote a long letter because I didn't have time to write a short one” etc etc but ALSO#this time I'm making it long on purpose.#Am I too persistent about maintaining “good writing form” even though it's fanfic and I write it for fun?#Yeah probably but I reserve that attitude for my own writing and literally nobody else's#break “good writing form” on purpose!! do it on accident!! who cares it's fanfic and you're doing it for fun#I don't need the fanfics I enjoy reading to be published novel quality and we shouldn't expect that from others/hold anyone to that standar#like. even typos are fine imo. something something imperfection making it so distinctly human and relatable and a product of passion#I just want to give FULL DISCLOSURE that I am only taking this attitude about my own creations jkdghdks#not in an “everyone else's not 100% perfect creations are enjoyable but me” sense#but in an “I am setting ridiculously high goals that I probably won't completely meet which is ok bc this is how i improve best” sort of wa#ANYWAY tags became an actual ramble but yeah lol

pt update!! i’ve been using a .5 kg weight and it seems a good size, i get around 7 in a 10 set and it starts to get difficult so i’ll stick with it at least until i can do the full 10 without pushing. i started with single bicep curls, side raises and overheads and overheads are the absolute worst lmao. now i’ve added double bicep curls and front raises!
i thought i wasn’t really getting much better bc the weight is so light (even though i know it takes time and i’ve only been doing it for like two weeks) but then i did the front raises for the first time, got to 3 and was like this fucking sucks lmaoo
#theres still a part of my brain that thinks its basically not worth it if im doing such a light weight#but im doing 50 weighted arm movements! thats still doing a lot!#and remembering im going from entirely deconditioned and exercise intolerant thats pretty huge#and ive literally noticed improvement! i used to start to struggle around 3 when i did the side raises and overheads and now i can get to 7#before it starts to suck#i need to add my bed exercises for my legs then ill have a pretty decent workout going#the only thing is my shoulders pop and click both when i go up and down and i have no idea if theyre bad noises or just my body noises#bc all of my joints constantly pop when i move#so it could just be that but i wouldnt really know if it was something bad#i havent had any pain but thats not really a good indicator either since joint pain is normal too#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt

there are two wolves inside of you. One of them is fretting that you went through all the effort of making a new art account just to pigeonhole yourself once more into a specific fandom, which holds you back from exploring original art concepts that you care about. The other one came up with three separate ace attorney comic ideas in the last hour alone and isn't stopping anytime soon
#laurellala talks#am i unwell? perhaps#i also drew like 5 more sketchy comics i haven't posted#and a full colored drawing i haven't posted bc i'm overthinking if i need to attach comics to it also or post on its own#i want to draw more muppets interactions and come up with an actual theoretical muppets ace attorney case!#they would get to explore the muppet studio as a location aaa it would be so cuteee#and i'm in the middle of drawing a comic of miles and nick video calling and teasing a young trucy (i love trucy)#and i NEED to draw nick and maya interactions from trials and tribulations case 3 it's so sibling coded agh my heart#also i want to draw lisa basil in general the roboty software company lady#i want to design an ace attorney self insert called Laurel Lyre (you're a liar) and draw sprite expressions and character interactions#she would be an art student that Nick knew from college and she was painting a still life of the scene of the crime#and her painting has something different than how the crime scene looked which is used as proof in court#ALSOOO i had an idea for a silly comic of nick visiting miles in germany (platonic coded)#and of either a comic or short story idea of them going out to dinner together. This one is hard to explain but it would be good#I WANT TO DRAW FRANZISKA TOO i have an angst comic idea for her! And i want to draw her as a kid in dance class#i feel like she has so much scrutiny of herself which is very “i was in dance as a kid” coded. Ballet probably#I ALSO have a comic idea of a holiday party that took place before miles' murder trial but after steel samurai case#where miles begrudgingly talks to phoenix to avoid small talk with strangers and they talk about college#specifically like. it is canon to me that phoenix was in an improv group in college. That's where he learned to bluff. he's so silly#i also want to make a comic of the parents at trucy's school trying to sus out how old nick is#since he's only like what 17 years older than her?#I also want to make a gilmore girls joke but i can't tell if this is too dated to be funny. Do people know this show still#i had never watched it before so i just watched like half a season of it just to make a joke. It's cute.#What Else. I have like 5 animatic ideas but i need to ask my friend what she uses to make hers bc in the past I've used imovie on my phone#do not recommend#and if i don't draw everything RIGHT NOW i'm going to lose interest and nothing will get made!!!!!!#andandand I STILL NEED TO FINISH TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONSSSSS#i got sooo far i'm doing so well in the waitress case#i need to finish it so i can finally understand apollo justice and know what the HECK happened in that time skip#ace attorney
