#and im sure im forgetting tons of inspirations bc im bad with names!

[moldspace]

I love your ceramics and art so much! I wanted to ask what your primary inspirations are— looking at your pieces I get a lot of Germanic folklore vibes 🍃🍄

folklore and folk art is definitely a big one! especially folk sculptures like balinese or coast northwest native carvings, and alebrijes. also love polish painted houses, and i'm not sure if it's considered folk art but i'm very into medieval illuminations and carvings as well! as far as more contemporary inspirations go i'm big into a lot of the female surrealists like Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo, and sculpture/installation artists like Niki De Saint Phalle and Yayoi Kusama. oh and I've been enjoying Rosina Wachtmeister's stuff a lot lately! while it's not considered art in the same way i also take a lot of inspiration from toy lines like vintage my little pony or the Lisa Frank aesthetic. and of course there are also a lot of currently active artists both online and offline that I take a ton of inspiration from. i really believe inspiration seeps in from absolutely everywhere and everything one does so it's hard to sum up everything that shapes my work, but there's def some stuff that influences more obviously than others!

the pre-love self love ramble 

seven whole years of cee, or as i like to call it, about six and a half years too long of cee OR as other like to call it we get it, you’ve been around forever, it’s not impressive, it’s just sad. OH ALSO! my dad’s birthday AND seventeen years since i was diagnosed with type one diabetes. cool. sort of crazy since all my other muses usually fail to last two weeks, let alone years. i won't go on about it but i will just say i know how lucky i am to have had the experience that i have had on this website; i have seen other writers, very talented and lovely, been driven away by drama and hate and it sucks. so just here is my reminder that when you’re feeling low about being here, take a step back. remember why you started; for love of a character, oc or canon, because you love to write and create, because you have good friends around you, whatever the reason and try and forget about follower counts or people being just a bit shit. just because someone else is a talented writer too, doesn’t mean you’re not. know your worth, be proud of what you have created and be kind and complimentary to people you find inspiring! being kind to other is a pretty wonderful natural endorphin booster. anyway! thanks for coming to my self indulgent ted talk.  

THE COOLEST KIDS

so these are the dudes are people i dont talk to a shit ton (lucky you) or even at all but i really just think you’re gr8. i think you’re characterization is great, your headcanons, your ships, you’re writing and i know being a name in a list of names isn’t a great way to get that across but i think you’re really super? when i see these people on my dash and i see the work and love they put into their blogs i’m so inspired to work harder, to writer better, to strive and improve so i can be half as brilliant as you. and i know i will have missed people bc this is a bad way to do this but tbh even you’re not here and i follow you, that’s how i feel (you know, otherwise i’d unfollow im not a loyal hoe). so thank you for improving my rp experience.

AND THEN THERE’S THESE MOTHERFUCKS

@strcngemercy / @mcneyhoney: you know you’re the reason i believe in soulmates and fate and half of that crap because the chances of us meeting and connecting like we did are just so fucking slim? i know half our discord chats are now just verbally making out with each other (honestly when did you become such a sap) but i miss you being on everyday and chatting everyday and i cannot WAIT until im in your arms and proving my boyfriend right thinking that the only reason i wanted to come to dublin was to see and make out with you. but the fact is, cecelia would not have made it past 2013 without you, and nox and stef and being best friends and lesbians together. 

@dilkos / @donsjuans / @ingeanue: im not even totally sure how to put into words how much you mean to me. i really felt like i have lost my right hand for a while when you were away. cee lost her soulmate and her best friend, and i sort of feel like i did too. i’ve never clicked with someone quite as quickly as i clicked with you, and how we’re so on the same page when it comes to writing our characters. sometimes you say how celia will feel about something and im like... yes.... how did i not know this. you know me and cee better than we know ourselves. ily. also petition to bring back mork 2k19. 

@irritablefacade: everytime you reply to our threads i have to be like ‘okay but wait ten minutes do you don’t look too eager’ but idc anymore. brian and cee make me VERY happy and i am so glad that you ship them too because from the moment i saw your blog (and then watched zulu) all i wanted was for them to fall in love and probably fuck each other over bc healthy is boring. 

@rcsethcrn: thank you for helping celia’s realise that having female friends who you support and want to achieve might not? actually? be the worst? thing in the world. thank you for making me fall in love with asoiaf and fall even more deeply in love with margaery as a character. you have developed her beyond her role in the book and i find it so refreshing and wonderful. you’re so incredibly kind and talented and cee and i would both be lost with you and marg on our dash board. 

@mcstdangerous / @xqueenofscots / @vespxr: my main advisory for oldest blog about ! i hope that i have made it clear by now that i am SUPER thankful for the day you told me about tumblr roleplay, and then let me join that little group of sherlock rp’ers you had. you are such a talented writer, for whatever muse you put your mind to, and an incredible person. we need more plots and threads for chey being celia’s right hand woman pls and thnk 

@hellsbraveknight: OKAY so i know you’re not about much anymore so i already sent you your love letter over facebook but i feel like when you do eventually have two seconds for yourself and come online and i didn’t include you i’ll be in trouble. i love you, you know all this, you’re my best friend, very soon we have to meet and i want to kiss you and the boys all over. i am so proud of the person you have become. jam and kat 5ever.

Depression tips that are actually helpful

Put your chargers on the other side of the room: This will make it so that you won't be on your computer so long, which is good and helpful for if you want to get better sleep. it also forces you to get up and move around for more than just food.

Tell your doctor you have trouble sleeping: this can get you access to sleep medication, which you should take. I love taking mine at my "bedtime" and then putting my computer away (necessary step) and then tidying up or doing homework. It sets up a healthier sleep cycle.

Drink water: keep a water bottle on your nightstand, and in your backpack. Easy access means you'll drink it more, and that you can teach yourself to do it when you're bored/ sad/ lonely.

Put your medicines nearest to you: Okay so we all know that the depression makes you never leave your bed so put your medicines in your dresser. It's an excuse to stay in bed, and it means you'll take them more.

Be a little more minimalist: ok so I know this one is weird but hear me out. If you don't get happiness out of an item? don't keep it. If you aren't using it? don't keep it. Don't clutter up your life with things you don't want, because you won't have the energy to clean them up.

Sort papers into would enjoy looking back at/ necessary to keep/ fucking trash throw it away.

Only keep the books near you that you loved/ would reread.

Part 2: Minimalism believes if something is necessary you should either enjoy it or find a better one that you do enjoy.

(B U Y P R E T T Y S H I T.) It also believes the amount of physical clutter represents the amount of psychological clutter and honestly? true. After getting rid of my shit i feel so much better and am able to focus on whats on my mind more. Im solving my own problems. I feel happier and healthier.

Eat food: okay so like? that nightstand i told you about? put snacks in it. But not like a ton of unhealthy snacks. Yummy healthy snacks bc you forget to eat.

Create a physical mood board and hang it up: So all of the things that make you happy? slap them together. Inspirational quotes? shove them on there. friends telling you that you can survive this? fuck yeah, make sure those go on there. Filling your life with positivity works, my dude.

Stop making depression jokes: okay so hear me out. I know you love them and they're a coping mechanism, but they create a cycle of depressed thinking. They reward you for thinking negatively. They teach your brain that it is a good thing to think bad thoughts. If you gotta make depression jokes, I've started making ones about "gotta beat that serotonin back into my brain" or "wtf dude you're telling me not even my recovery is straight? damn, I'm super gay, huh?" and they're stupid but they help me and reinforce positive thinking and focus on recovery.

Clean up your friends: seriously only hang out with people who you enjoy and build you up. I know this might make you feel more isolated, but I promise you if you do this you'll feel better in the long run and look forward to seeing them = looking forward to going out

Unfollow people: seriously, if you have a blog that you cant look at the name and tell me what it is or why you like it, why are you following it? or hell, if you flat out don't remember the name itself, like... leave? Your dash gets decluttered and only the things you enjoy are left. Plus you feel good in general bc cleaning stuff up actually makes you feel powerful and you deserve to feel powerful.

Buy a candle: light that shit up and watch as your mood improves bc there's something nice in your room fuck yeah

Get your work done: at a reasonable time. do your shit. don't stress yourself, please.

Find out your favorite season/weather: Make your room feel this way. The breeze? cool get a fan. 68 degrees? you can do that. sunny? turn those lights on hell yeah. night time? get out the fairy lights make stars HAPPEN. Spring? E M U L A T E S P R I N G. You will appreciate this. And if a day is your fave? Go outside, take a walk, and maybe idk, go to the store and treat yourself. Just go out into your fave and love your fave. Pretty easy.

Befriend yourself: by far the hardest of all of these but treat yourself as if its a separate friend. Your friend isn't eating? WHAT THE FUCK DUDE EA T. your friend says something bad about themselves? I LL PHYSICALLY FIG HT YOUR THOUGHTS. treat yourself right. you deserve it.

Thats all i can think of for now but please try it I know you'll appreciate it.
