guy who so desperately tries to find god. who wants to have faith in a higher authority to guide him out of the hole he's in. from the weight of guilt from simply existing, as the person he is. but every time he thinks he's answered his higher calling it turns out he's made the Morally Incorrect choice and his path to goodness and holiness was the road to the devil all along

i got an email today from my uni that was sent to all students from the faculty i'm in and it's a job offer for a project from the uni's school museum where they catalogue and analyze old school note/exercise books from 1820-1950s and...idk i should probably apply right??? They're not even asking for a CV (mine would be empty), how often do you get that lmao. And it's only 6 hours a week, starting this October and the project is supposed to last 3 months and there is a possibilty of the museum hiring you for longer. And i mean, if it sucks i guess i can push through the 3 months? should i do it ahhhh my panic brain is screaming but it's not often that there is a job offer that is that nice

Just retrieved my sketch book and reminded myself there was a time where I did draw every day and I kinda enjoyed it even though I was just copying stuff from Youtube tutorials and then I think I got overwhelmed with too much "if you want to get BETTER you HAVE to do ALL THESE THINGS you HAVE to DRAW EVERY DAY and you have to PRACTICE DRAWING BASIC SHAPES and you HAVE TO THINK ABOUT SHADING" and EVERYTHING YOU DO LOOKS BAD BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT FOLLOWING THESE EXACT SPECIFIC TIPS" and idk I feel like those kind of tips also ruined writing for me and idk maybe if I'd just kept up doing silly little Youtube tutorials I'd be able to draw a cartoon cat without having to look at a reference by now which isn't exactly what I want to do but it would be something?

i feel like there’s this stereotype in gender studies that only women can be interested in them or only women can want to talk about female historical figures and like . i’m not a woman just because i decided to take a gender studies approach to my essay 😭

I know this fandom is doomed because people will look you in the eyes or reply to your comment and say that we don’t know that lightsingers are associated with light or singing.

Ok for some reason I'm starting to see more and more art that looks photorealistic af - sometimes with timelapse videos - only to go to the artist's blog and realise that they just take a photo, apply filters, and paint over it. It's so obvious too when you compare it to a few works where they actually painted themselves from scratch, the difference in quality is really visible, and I'm not talking like "drawing you made from imagination versus drawing you made with a reference" different, I'm talking "there's no way these two drawings are made by the same person" different.

It's also crazy that painting progress videos aren't actually proof of anything either. People just manipulate that shit. I've seen videos deconstructing these, the fake artists just paint over the photo, then erase certain parts and reverse the process to make it look legit 🤨

And btw painting over a reference is a legit way of making a drawing, however controversial it might be, but if you do it, you have to disclose your painting method and give credit to photos used, not pretend you just made it from scratch.

Lol I keep on doing this, saying I'd come back to tumblr to only disappear again 😂😭
