god I actually just really fucking love movies actually possibly my favorite art form. don’t get me wrong I like tv I like books heck I like all sorts of art. but there’s something so so special about sitting down for 90 minutes & getting shown a story. there’s really nothing like it

I keep getting rejected from conventions that I've been doing for multiple years this year and I heard on Friday that I didn't get Scotland Comic Con, which I've relied on for the last two years to be able to pay my fucking rent over the winter when there's no events, and it makes me want to scream because what the fuck am I supposed to do about it?? I'm making new stuff reasonably regularly, I make really good sales when I get into cons, I go out of my way to be reliable and show up on time and do everything they want exhibitors to do, and it's just flat rejection after flat rejection, sometimes without even the courtesy of a spot on a waiting list or a cursory 'sorry, we got a lot of applicants and we've got limited space'.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I don't think I even am doing anything wrong, I'm just getting repeatedly fucked over by event organisers who just see me as a way of increasing their own ticket sales rather than a human being trying to make a living.

And, like, part of me gets that I've been doing this for a while and folks who are new to it deserve a chance to get a foot in the door, but my ability to be charitable runs out when the biggest convention in the country decides no, we don't have enough room in our fuck-off huge venue for everyone so bye, fuck you, that ~15% of your yearly income that you rely on making at this con is just going up in smoke.

I like doing conventions, I'm good at it and it's fun, but it's getting Really Fucking Stressful to have my ability to eat and pay bills decided increasingly arbitrarily by the same five events companies who don't seem to give the slightest shit about anyone.

And I don't know what to do about it because the reason I'm doing this is because I'm too fucking autistic to get a real job, and I got kicked to the kerb by the benefits lot a few years ago because that system's fucking broken too, and the more effort I put in the less work I seem to actually get and frankly I want to fucking break something

How does it feel knowing that a discourse you started has goldstars and non-goldstars fighting to this day even though you're barely active these days?

well tbf I didn't start anything, my anons did and I happened to agree. I just had a large enough following at the time for it to actually get noticed™️ by radblr at large and turn into something that has very much escaped the confines of my blog.

me and the generic extra strong Tylenol and the pure rage in my system

I really want to draw and post art again but yet its been so incredibly hard to really to do anything? I'm at a point where I really just don't know why. I tend to sketch stuff and maybe sometimes I'll start working on the line art but then I just stop and never go back

I don't know what my problem is or what is really stopping me. I get really happy when I sketch and things are coming out really well!! But then that's kind of it? Its not like I feel super depressed about it or anything, so what's holding me back? A big ol mystery

can life not be emotionally abusive ?? please and thank you

[honeyed-disgraceful]

Wow threats of violence and death woe is me. Bitch it's been like this for years if you hate me kill me already and if you don't plan to just shut that shit spitting asshole mouth of yours.

I have nothing to lose if he actually carried on with it, he'd do me a favour. It's funny to me he thinks he scares me and its even funnier he gets more angry when I laugh.

Bro I got used to your abusive shit, it's another day of you being an aggressive coward to me after I ignored you for months even if you wanted a reaction. I don't give a shit lmao

2017 vs 2023

tadaaaa behold my old sim looks. what a tragedy before we got some amazing sliders and presets huh 😭 I created Ivy shortly after making some other oc's I used to post a lot of back in 2016-2017, but after making her she became my #1 sim alongside Avery. This isn't my earliest sim post, since I started around 2013 with sims 3 (10yrs of simblr my gosh), and my sims 4 gameplay posts are just awful to look at so I've spared you all LOL. Ivy is when I truly started to 'edit' pictures, mostly with those light ray overlays or dust textures because I thought it looked so cool at the time! Simblr overall was a different environment back then too, and it still amazes me to see the incredible blender edits people do now, I still loveee the creativity of this community so much. I still use the same editing program now as I did then, but my sim style overall has changed a ton and it's jarring to see these two right beside each other!! 💀

I will tag: @madfeary @intramoon @theosconfessions @meoanii @wasabichips @kamibellini and anyone else who sees this and would like to do it!!! 💖💖

actually used r*ddit for the first time in a thousand years just to comfort a self proclaimed 'grown ass man' regarding his feelings about feeling lost and grieving over the death of RT.

I usually stay away from commenting on public forums and the like, but he was clearly confused and didn't understand why he was hurting and it was frustrating him. it genuinely makes me so sad that a lot of cis men deeply struggle with allowing themselves to feel sadness if it doesn't directly relate to someone close to them dying.

and so I kind of said as much. told him that just because RT wasn't a real human doesn't mean that the decades of comfort it brought him didn't matter. that the brain doesn't differentiate between the loss of a person vs. the loss of something intangible that was still incredibly important.

told him to give himself the grace to grieve and be sad that something he loved was ending and that he wasn't the only one feeling that way. and surprisingly he replied and said he really needed to hear that, as did a couple of other dudes. which made me glad I said something. it sucks that they feel like they need permission or a reason to feel hurt/grief tho

there's definitely a strangeness to feeling grief over the end of media. but if it impacted your life for the better, then of course you're going to feel sad and lost. especially from folks you've been watching the better part of two decades.

Besides clubbing/partying/etc. the other hobby that's popular in my area with people in my age range is collecting those little Sonny Angel figurines. Like there's this huge community for it, regular meetings, trading parties, etc. and I'm tempted to get into it just because I don't know how else to meet people. But I don't want to spend money on figurines that aren't even that cute to me (some of them are cute but idk if it's enough for me to get into them as an actual hobby I spend time and money on).

It feels like the only other options involve drinking/drugs or having a skill in something like a sport or knitting or whatever and I'm not good at anything or really interested in learning how to do something new/stressful for me.

I miss anime cons but I met some of the worst people through them (and no I don't mean 'cringey fangirls', I mean people who literally SA'd, harassed, and stalked me). I've tried classes and interest groups but everyone just goes straight home after they're done instead of sticking around.

Idk, it's not like I can leave the house much anyway because of taking care of my mom but sometimes I do think about life outside my home again and wish I knew how to socialize and not feel like such a loser all the time.
