so i've been learning how to draw/sketch & paint using watercolor lately, and if there's one thing i've learned about myself so far is that i am so goddamn impatient 😭

#me after only a few hours of drawing:#i'm so done with this it's so so horrible #i will never be good enough #😭😭😭😭#i need to remind myself that most sketches takes weeks #even MONTHS to get done #and here i am wanting great results in a couple of hours lmao #not to mention it takes practice #LOTS of it #and the first few won't be as good #and i should just keep drawing and drawing #it's kinda the same with writing tbh #ramblings

the problem with taz balance is that half of the things that make me want to recommend it to people are major spoilers that will fundamentally change the listening experience

#eliot posts #taz #the adventure zone #like i've gotten a few followers to check it out with my constant posting of it #but also my posts are full of major spoilers #which i won't say ''ruin'' the experience #bc it's still very good with all the twists revealed #and in some ways the dramatic irony of knowing so many things that the characters don't makes listening SO FUN #but at the time. i wish SO BADLY that i could wipe my mind of everything that happens in taz balance #and listen to it for the first time again #i started listening back while it was still coming out #and the fun of figuring out the mysteries and then having your whole view forcibly recontextualized by The Big Reveal #absolutely unparalleled

I'm so sorry

#otgw #over the garden wall #the beast #honestly I don't even think he is scary anymore #I can rant about how funny and absurd his plot is for hours #Like...remember how the fandom decided that he keeps finding and masterminding different lantern keepers?#the thing is - IT WAS NEVER THE CASE #the woodsman just swung his axe on the guy in the comics and this silly creature went ! and dropped the only thing keeping him alive #And then the Beast had to come up with this fairy tale about the Woodsman's daughter being in the thing so the crazy dude won't shattert it #BUT OH WAIT the woodsman decided that he is going to keep the lantern to himself if that's the case - good job brainiac #and the beast even tried to steal the lantern from him a few times in the series but he had to be sneaky about it #because well shit the guy still has this axe with him #AND THEN WHEN WIRT GOT THE LANTERN IN HIS HANDS WHAT DID THE BEAST DO?#he decided to trick him with the same freaking story that got him into this mess in the first place #He is a girlfailure

Most Sherlock Holmes adaptations I've seen tend to place their Final Problem towards the mid point of the series (or even a bit earlier) - it's also in my opinion the best way of going about it, so you have time enough for the characters to adjust after the reunion but they know each other well enough for the events of Fina to be devastating.

Sherlock & Co is done with 20 of the adventures. How many are there? Fifty-something? Almost sixty? Let's say we'll be entering mid-point territory after the 25th story.

So let's pretend for a moment that we have 5 more stories until The Final Problem. Ok.

Estimating an adventure at 3 episodes each, that would mean little over 3 months - maybe 3 and a half? Starting, of course, from the end of Sign of Four, which will be somewhere in December.

So let's say 3, maybe 4 months into 2025. That would be, what? Late march, early april?

Early april?

John having to tell the listeners that Sherlock is dead, in early april?

Quick calendar search reveals what I was praying it would - the 1st of april will be on a Tuesday next year.

So what I'm saying

What I'm saying is Sherlock &Co has the opportunity to do the funniest fucking thing

#fyi I don't mean John pranks us about Sherlock dying #i mean it's just the first Tuesday after sherlock “dies” so that's just when he happens to tell the listeners #maybe he's not even aware of the date #and is surprised to see the reactions are less “oh my god oh no” and more “haha good one” or “funny but actually don't joke about that”#ahhh and then he'd have to double down either on the 2nd or next Tuesday and explain again that his best friend is actually dead #oh that would hurt but it would also be absolutely hilarious #for us who know Sherlock's not actually dead #anywayy #for the record i don't actually think they'll do fina as early as april #(but wouldn't it be funny)#They might do it at the actual midpoint #after the 29th story so let's say june/ july #Hoping they don't place it too late cuz then we won't have enough time to see how it affects all of them #Even if it's around the 3/4 point i think I'd be a bit bummed #Also midpoint is a good place to take a break #Of course fear nr 1 is leaving it for the very end and making empt the last episode #and the reason why the podcast ends is “look what happened if it wasn't for the podcast maybe Moriarty wouldn't have noticed Sherlock”#Like a “it's becoming too dangerous” thing #but that's the evil timeline (not us!!!)#Honestly if it were me I'd make fina the midpoint.... then hiatus...... return...... second half......#and then get another big dangerous villain for the last few eps #Maybe one of them (sherlock) almost gets killed (again) and that's why john decides that #it's been swell but we're ending the podcast cause apparently we're putting (too big of) a target on our backs #Almost lost sherlock again the risks outweigh the benefits etc etc #Of course they'll keep solving crimes together just stop broadcasting them to the world #And that's how I'd do it! :D #God i can't be trusted with tags #If you read this far I love you #sherlock & co #theories

things that are hard to find: writing advice that isn't condescending.

#ambie.txt #I've been really thinking about this story in my head and wondering what caused me to get burned out from writing #and realising it's all the formal bits. planning an outline organising things into a timeline. I'm more of an impulse writer #and having to think about all those dry and formal things makes me quit before I even start #this is my autism but I hate having to stop and figure out all this before I write because that way I won't write at all #ever since I started free writing I discovered that I still love writing. I love it so much #but I hate doing all of the other things because they are not my special interest and they keep me from pursuing my special interest #it's just very hard to find writing advice that isn't condescending in this aspect #people stressing out you need an outline first are very common unfortunately #I'm more of a vibes no plot person and like to just discribe the vibes in vivid detail #before worrying about the plot too much. and yes in a story there had to be a plot #but if worrying about the plot and connecting all the scenes is killing my creativity #I want to just go from details first and bigger picture later #again. autism. also writing dialogue is the worst. idk how people talk. I don't understand body language etc etc #I have written some pretty good dialogue before so I know I'm capable. it just really sucks when I have to scrutinise everything #and think “would people say this? do they talk like that?” its draining #so I was thinking about writing dialogue separately. maybe write it as a script for a play #which is essentially just dialogue. and then match it with the scene descriptions I have written #like. I know I'm a good writer. I very good one. but the way I have been writing so far has burned me out #because it was too much focused on all the boring bits and not enough on the freedom and joy of just writing #which is why I love free writing. it allows me to focus on a few tiny details and then develop them into something bigger #also I hate writing on a computer so I got some notebooks so I can write on paper instead #it's where I'm most creative I've found #anyway this all just to say that I think following writing advice is not for me at least not now when I'm rediscovering my passion #and that I need to trust myself more and do things that make me happy #so um yeah. best writing advice is to just write and worry about it later

Masters' Academy AU: Student Extra.

Art by @okkennymay

#masters’ academy au #okkennymay #this guy and the redhead are my favorites #not even close #the junior students could get put to use on a few good ways #I'd planned for Dipper to have skipped a grade coming here going straight to the 8th grade #and he's already mr “look how much smarter I am than the other kids” so he doesn't really want to hang out with the juniors #but the juniors are his age and it's their first year at the school too so he's got a lot to relate with there #plus the 8th graders in his class are intimidating (and tall)#course the dorms have kids from different grades anyways so it won't be some huge deal if Dipper has friends in 7th and 8th #really they're all middle schoolers and none of the high school kids give a shit about them XD #course I've waffled A LOT about their exact ages and grade because it's such an important decision #considered more than once cutting the middle school portion of the school and making it a highschool only move the boys to 9th grade #how do we feel about the name “Elijah”?

JKLASJFDK Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisten. Listen listen listen. If Som and Sol from "Like Mother, Like Daughter" don't confirm AT LEAST one of them has feelings for each other....I might implode.

And like it's very likely it won't and I'm being baited but ohhhhhhhh my gooooooooooooood. TT0TT The toxic "I will kill for you, even if it's your own mother" yuri vibes coming from Som is just *chef's kiss* (think of it as a practice run for your own mama Som kfdlsjaflk) The author is killing me.

Likeeeee

Excuse me???? Your honor! Please! TT0TT They just say shit like this. How can I not see some them through a biiit of a romantic lens???? (this was probs the chapter where I was like "yup I def ship them, I'm done for TT0TT")

Like "flirty"!! "FLIRTY" YOUR HONOR!

Pleasee! Please put their asses together and let them be happy! TT0TT

(Or at least confirm it's doomed toxic Yuri, I'll take the validation where I can get it!)

#like mother like daughter #webtoon #Somyung Gil #Look-Alike Daughter #똑 닮은 딸 #Ryu Sol #sol ryu #i'm being baited yet a fucking gain #like mother like daughter webtoon #first odd girl's out then knife in her heart and now like mother like daughter #my (un)holy trinity jflkasjfdakf #(knife in the heart I at least feel like it's the least likely to happen buuuuuut TT0TT they are so good together!)#i censored out sol's bruise in one pic cause it made me sad but I couldn't for the other ;w;#the reason I'm fine with it being doom toxic yuri is cause there is a HIGH chance it won't last #Som is about as stable as an active earthquake #they both need to seek therapy TT0TT #i'm sorry I really like this webtoon and wanna gush about iiiiiiiiiit #been wanting to gush (I think I have a few posts in my drafts still jakldfjs)

sat down like okay. gotta be serious for a second to figure out this kink in my story. it might be annoying, it might take some effort, but it's crucial for the end result. and then 30 seconds in I realized I'd actually worked it out a few days ago

#shitpost #i was like okay i gotta focus like extra for a second #i know the general thing that needs to happen. but how SPECIFICALLY does it work out #so. writers block fixed I guess. kind of. few little details to figure out #also guys. i am ignoring the deadline HARD rn #not like I won't finish in time #just like. my god do I always set myself up for a race and a crunch #also. DREADING the amount of editing i have ahead of me #quil why did u do this you motherfuck #but i can't think about that yet i have to finish writing first #i have. 9 days. fuckkkkkk #fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk #okay. okay. okay. okay. it's fine. we're all good. GOD i hope my recipient likes this i always overthink it #and overcomplicate it #biting my nails tearing out my hair fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

do you ever feel casually suicidal? like you're not depressed or anything you're doing fine but also it feels like a convenient option

#if you can't make connections with people or be seen by anyone then like. at least you can feel like you're helping a better cause #to like charities and gfms and anyone else #but you have to tone that down bc you're slowly losing money bc you still can't get a job #and bc you don't have a job it means you're just stuck in the house all day. which gives Way Too Much opportunity to Think about everything #and also so like. i still share a room with my sister but it was fine bc she'd stay at her bf's a few nights a week #but he's got a job that's a bit further away and basically she can't go round his as much. so now it's maybe like once a week #the room is getting messier so it gives me less energy to do anything #you can get really into an unhealthy weight loss obsession bc at least it feels like you're getting towards something #but idek is set weight theory real? bc once i get down to a certain point it suddenly resets #like honestly counting calories and donating money to every gfm i saw and writing a film script was what kept me going #but first one isn't working and second i need some sort of income and third is finished and i have no way of actually creating it #and then there's the whole lack of stable hyperfixation and ability to find new music i enjoy #and realistically what would fix me is having a good job that i enjoy and somewhere to live on my own #but until i get a job that's currently impossible. and even then it probably won't feel like enough #my entire life is lived on my phone i need more physical objects but i don't have enough space #bc i share a room with my sister. it's like all my problems are connected #and i have enough optimism that i still think it'll get better in the next few weeks. maybe i'll be able to get a job and that'll #get everything going again #but at the same time i could easily just die #I've graduated from uni. I've seen the who live 3 times. I've crashed my car twice. I've watched 30 years of corrie. I've met various dogs #what else is there to do with my life honestly #(<- joking)#but yeah like. in summer 2021 i almost got suicidal (it was just letting the occasional thought linger in my mind etc)#but that was bc i was so depressed #but now it feels like i could just kill myself. but more just out of convenience #idek. i'm not gonna kill myself. bc i have a job interview on tuesday. and just in general i won't #but there is this casual feeling of like. well i might as well. i can't describe it #ramble #suicide tw #weight loss mention

Me: I don't know what to do with Veronica's character in post s8 au, I don't want her to be Just Lance's sister and Kuron's friend with Pidge's storyline slapped on her, but also I'm not really sure about her character. Sure there's the whole lying to her family thing but I don't think that's enough?

Brain: ok so what if Veronica started out as trying to look for what was Lance upto but she ends up being so obsessed with finding the truth that not only she repeatedly puts herself in harms way but also the original goal falls on wayside.

This could be her way of dealing with trauma which is getting engrossed in the Mission and a problem to fix while suppressing her grief and refusing to actually acknowledge her problems and her own emotions a foil to Kuron's arc that is him being literally driven by emotions. She's angry at Lance for leaving without a word and angry at her family for their clinginess, however she keeps it to herself and just avoid them pretending everything is fine and normal

Also a foil to Lance who started as trying to figure out what was going on but as soon as he realized that 1) Allura and Kuron are still sorta alive 2) he can bring them back, he got obsessed with it consequences by damned.

Plus through her we can actually explore how quintessence actually effects and changes humans rather than become aware of the end result

Also there's something a character who is obsessed with truth but is also such a frequent liar

#There's a lot more but it involves changing a lot of elements of this au and explaining half assed elements and scenes in my head #post s8 au #post s8 posting #Just realizing she's having a jon sims arc. Good for her! Atleast she won't accidentally cause an apocalypse #It is still very draft and beta and I keep changing things in it as soon as I think of something cool #I kinda want Lance to be like at first seeing him living a 'normal' life but also there's something clearly Wrong #Veronica seems to be always busy and gone and never there. Shadows and crows being weird #and a voice asking him 'Did you make right choice?' And 'Remember' and 'wake up'#only to reveal that he has been living in a fake reality and a lot of his family is dead #yk that one scene in dunmeshi where Laois digs up and stares at Falin's skull. Lance digging up a grave and be like 'Dad?'#it's representational in his own head. And Lance created this fake reality as a form of denialism #Veronica at first being standoffish not being completely honest with Kuron #Lying to Kuron and her superiors about where she had been making her sus #Kuron not knowing that Lance was the one who brought him back until much later #only that *Someone*was reaching out to him in Shiro's mind and made his body #The family is dead and Lance was living in fake reality reveal happens just as Veronica starts being honest with Kuron #Few of the family members are killed due to retaliation from an extremist galra group #A hot topic in coalition meetings which is a way for connecting Hunk!!!! To the plot!!!!!#I love you my brain!!!#Sorry this is so fucking incoherent

man.

#💭 — ⌗nervo rambles . ★#gonna say I'm venting a bit (kinda of a lot)#but I may seem selfish from this and let me say now ik everyone was putting themselves first (which is a very good thing)#but having three mutuals deactivate their accounts within I think two months or so??#I rlly don't like to be negative and I might also take a break from Tumblr (as much as I love posting here #so I'm still unsure if I'll even stick to that) bc of how negative I've been lately #I just don't want to keep venting and putting that on everyone so #but yeah I just. It makes me sad to see old/new mutuals go #I never thought I'd have to like #witness it #Idk #I've cried over losing them all and it feels rlly silly but I mean idk #I (try to — my feelings with crying are iffy and I hate admitting I do cry) not cry over everything but I just can't word stuff rn #might be posting less/not posting at all for the next few days or so #I'm gonna be busy in July anyways so it's probably better to just say that now #sorry guys I'm just dealing with some stuff mentally lately (an example being gender dysphoria but I can't even word the stuff going on #not to sound like I'm overexaggerating bc I rlly don't wanna seem like I am. It's nothing too serious so don't #be worried at all pls I'm ok enough I won't just disappear)#I just wish I could have alone time in my room with my cats without my family bugging me for a few days #It's tiring atp #I wanna lock myself up just to recooperate and figure out how to deal with certain things the best I can #anyways yap fest over I'm gonna go play wuwa and build Jinshi more #sorry for venting again 🫡🫡

God I can't fuckin catch a break my adhd keeps pelting me with so many things to be obsessive about and my autism makes sure that if I don't interact with them I'm gonna feel like my chest is being torn out and I'm dying slowly but my adhd doesn't let me actually choose one to interact with cause it keeps bringing up the others but my autism is panicking about that because I need to have a Thing to do

I just want to like. Read, write or draw in peace. Is that too much to ask for. Five minutes

I missed having a hyperfixation when I didn't for a month or so but I forgot how extreme my brain gets about them ig they're called hyper for a reason

#Ranting #AuDHD #Adhd #Autism #neurodivergent #hyperfixation #special interest #Either this is an adhd hyperfixation or an autism thing and if it's the first one I'll be okay within a few weeks to a month #But if it's the second then I'll be MIA for my other blogs and my friends and my family and my life for. Up to two years knowing me #I won't #I'll learn to deal with it again in a bit #But like my parents already think I'm having a depressive episode #And they deny that I'm ND (even after my psychiatrist said I was??) so I can't explain it to them #I'm painfully excited about this stuff. I love having passion like this but ughh I was NOT prepared #My hyperfixations always do this like I go without for a few weeks to a month every year or so #And I'm super lost and sad and grey and passionless yk #And then they fucking SMACK ME IN THE HEAD WITH A STICK #SURPRISE!! GET FUCKIN SMACKED WITH THE HYPERFIXATION STICK #NO MORE FUNCTIONING #like I haven't texted my best friend/ platonic partner ALL DAY #And I spend literally all night last night cuddling with him and being sappy and telling him how much I love him #Like I'm an autistic introvert #needing recovery time after Socialing is normal #But I didn't even say good morning or good night #He knows me so it isn't an issue but like #I forgot how intense this stuff is like. 24/7 I'm thinking about It #I really do have AuDHD don't I #It's pretty obvious
