Sometimes doing both writing and drawing is hell actually because you want to do both at the same time

a wip of sorts . there's going to be more bill designs but i have to hit the hay

[lunapwrites]

taking a deep breath and reminding myself that i'm (probably) in the worst of it right now. and, if so, i am fortunate.

bean is generally a happy little potato. yes, she spits up like she's auditioning for a reboot of the exorcist. yes, she has decided recently that sleep is for the weak and do i look like a bitch to you? but aside from all of that, she's normally really chill. and my lovely partner has been such a life-saver during this time, being the most dad even when she pulls his beard hairs out and throws up on his shorts as soon as he picks her up.

the 6-8 week point is apparently the crucible (on average, which she typically is), and we're on our way out of that. so... maybe there's a light at the end of the tunnel?

sleep is: a white noise machine, lofi girl in the background (dark synthwave ty) and one of those warmies that bean won't cuddle with directly but i will and then she cuddles with me and gets the same effect. (soft, warm, smells like lavender.)

and if this current trend of "getting better, slowly, for now" continues, i might be able to start writing again. (god i hope so lol.)

"Yeh Yung-chih (葉永鋕) [...] attended Gaoshu Junior High School in Pingtung County, Taiwan, and was often bullied by his classmates due to his gender non-conformity. In April 2000, Yeh Yung-chih was found lying in a pool of blood with serious injuries and died after being taken to the hospital. The incident led to extensive discussions about gender equality education in Taiwan."

what a week!

[aizawaorkuroo]

paused my medieval choso fic because i couldnt decide if i wanted to make it like super serious or more of a romcom LOL

but the drafts are there.... my desire to write/edit the previous chapters is also there....

[silverskye13]

Random question you don’t have to answer, but how far ahead in chapters are you in terms of writing vs what’s posted on AO3? Are you posting the minute you fully finish a chapter, or are you writing chapters in chunks and posting when you can?

Currently posted up to date. I previously had a "buffer" [tried to stay 3 chapters ahead, and post on a weekly/tenday basis] but most recently I had to dismantle my backlog to fix a plot hole, so it's instant posting.

I would like to get a little bit of a buffer again in the future, but the problem with buffers is they give me the chance to go, "Wait this isn't perfect. I should fix this." As opposed to what I usually do, which is, "Oh that could've been cooler. That's fine! I will find a way to integrate this later and/or I will find a way to write around this problem."

[Or alternatively, force myself to let it go, because it's a fanfic and if it isn't perfect, who cares? No one.]

So I don't think I can have more than 1 or 2 chapters written ahead now. Know thy limits and all that.

the conflicting desire to talk about ocs and story ideas and the compulsion to men in black wipe everyone's memory of anything even resembling a creative thought you've had

I love my sister I really do but every time she victimizes herself I-

[jays-therapist]

me: I kind of like that Lance doesn't have a love interest at the end of the show. I think it adds to the message that romantic love doesn't "fix" a person, but rather, loving and knowing that you are loved (whether that be platonically, romantically, etc. etc.) can inspire a person to change for the better, which is what Lance does for his daughters. The idea that he is chasing love in the series and finds it not in romance, but in parenthood is a good subversion of tropes, and I quite enjoy it, even if this kind of depth was not the writers' intention.

also me: but like,,, what if he and eugene kissed 👉👈
