Psyche tidy up

Giving yourself grace when you fail, and getting back at it right away. Failures are part of the perfection path.

Doing things not because you "must" but because you know why.

Unclenching your muscles on a frequent basis and normalizing being in stressful situations, like a boss babe. You know they're stressful but you don't let them get in the way to your goal.

Identifying your triggers, and recognizing them. You don't navigate life anymore from one trigger to another in a constant state of stress-anxiety. You know some stuff is triggering an emotional response but you answer to the rational thoughts. "Yes, I know this thing is triggering me. Worst outcome may come but I can deal with it no biggie. I rehashed many times my responses. "

Recognizing your emotions, but not letting them take up all your emotional mindspace. "Yes I'm angry, this thing happened and it caused me to feel unlistened to, I give myself a few minutes to breathe in silence, then think of the best action that'll benefit me"

The more you let emotions and triggers take up space in your day, the less you'll be able to live your life, but it isn't a excuse to avoid them squarely; you're also not living your life in extreme avoidance of them. Facing them upfront, as distressing as it may be, will lead to a quieter simpler life later.

Answer your truth: if you viscerally don't like something, do/say something. You do not have to do actions that go against what you stand/believe for.

LGBTQ+ Representation in film

You gotta wonder, so certain people, writers and movie makers know what they're doing? Like, think about it, if I took every iron man movie, and replaced EVERY INSTANCE of Tony with a woman, sure people would notice yeah, but thats also how you write A FEMALE CHARACTER, though this would also make them a lesbian because they're with Pepper. Its that easy. ITS LITERALLY THAT EASY. I could do it with captain america, the hulk, thor. Its not hard, just don't make their sexuality THEIR ENTIRE PERSONALITY. Anyway, thats just my take. Like, I could also theoretically replace Tony with a trans man AND NOBODY WOULD NOTICE, why? because its tony, but if it was every brought up, i'm sure there'd be at minimum 500 people complaining about the fact that Tony was a transman and how people are shoving the LGBTQ agenda down people's throats if it was mentioned ONLY ONCE. Rant over, hollywood sucks, that is all.

Bruh.

I've had 4 spambots just today.

15 in the past 6 days.

What the hell is going on?

Go away. I will immediately report spam and block you.

At some point you read and read so many self improvement posts, that's amazing I do applaud that, but are you scared to put in the work, wanting to read more to make it "perfect" without failure? Delusional. Glowups aren't a perfect y=2x line, they're nasty, they're incredibly hard, it's confrontation of the raw self, the raw trauma, acceptance of oneself, understanding of our human nature and mind. You'll suffer, you'll scream your lungs out, you'll have huge challenges, but that's normal. Once it's over it's bliss. Now go for it, go work on it. Accept that you fucked up, accept that you sometimes gonna mess it up, but promise yourself you'll get back right up and go for it.

Promise yourself that you'll keep working at it, keep being consistent at it as much as you humanely can.

No amount of preparation gonna make your process without pain and challenges.

older designs for my specialest guy

[krysmcscience]

Don't mind me, just slacking on a big Billford comic by making other far more ridiculous Billford comics and also some AU art (please excuse my slapdash human!Bill thank you please, also before anyone asks the art style is messy and all over the place because idgaf LOL)

This started out as an excuse to design a Bill Cipher-inspired "wedding" dress, but then spiraled wildly out of control. Various rambles and a bunch more human!Bill arts under the cut, including another silly little comic at the end! (Feel free to skip the rambles, I won't be offended. I know I'm bad at shutting up. XD)

I may or may not write some comedy stuff for this AU, which I'm calling 'For Better Or Worse (But Mostly Worse)'. While Ford DOES remember getting sloshed enough for one thing to lead to making out with another after karaoke, neither he nor Bill remember this wedding, At All. The Love God did nothing to dissuade them from going hog wild on their marriage spending, either, so it got...uh. Exorbitantly Expensive. As in, the grand total could probably buy the entire fucking MOON sort of expensive. (It's fine, don't worry, Bill's good enough at crime to be able to afford it.) Also, because the logic of this AU is mostly dictated by Rule of Funny, the Love God's powers are close to unlimited when it comes to matters of romance, but ONLY when it comes to matters of romance. (Like weddings!)

Want an empty human vessel to smash the soul of a triangle into for date nights or when it's convenient, or perhaps even when it's NOT convenient? Easy peasy! Want the marriage to be recognized in every corner of the multiverse from now until the end of time, thus making any potential future divorce nigh-on impossible? Can do! Want to buy an entire beach for the ceremony and honeymoon and in general, and totally not at all because it would be Super Hilarious to prevent any specific movies from being made on that very same beach in the future? Fine, whatever, it's not his finances he's ruining!

Does the Love God also provide special rings that just so happen to turn incorporeal as long as the "happy couple" doesn't remember that they barged into his dreams to bully him into presiding over their marriage? ...No comment!

He spends the next thirty years trying and failing to get in touch with either of them for payment. This is why you should always demand half the money up front, my guy!

Also it's absolutely a traditional Jewish wedding, because I like the idea of Bill demanding all the keepsakes from the marriage that he paid for, and being completely confused when one of the things he's handed is a fancy container full of broken glass. He gets it later, but in the moment, he thinks the Love God is just fucking with him some more.

Ramble over! Here's the full dress that caused the comic to happen, along with what Ford wound up wearing at the wedding (and begrudgingly agreeing to put on again later for Reasons), aaaaand also a close-up of Bill's ring:

I may have forgotten to draw Bill's hair floofier when drawing the back of the dress, lmao

Since double ring ceremonies have been leaking over into Jewish wedding customs for a while now, Ford also has a ring, but his is the much more traditional plain gold band. There's definitely a message engraved on the inside - embarrassing, cringe, or incriminating somehow - but I haven't decided what it is yet, so use your imagination for now. XD Bill, on the other hand, saw the phrase 'traditional plain gold band' and said "No Thank You" before proceeding to embellish his ring to his liking. And because he's a secret sap who adores Ford's extra fingers, the triangle points add up to twelve, as do the engraved stars. Yes, they're stars, not dots, I just got lazy. There's also six lashes on the eye gem, and probably an eye engraving on the inside with another six lashes. (Bill's got it BAD, okay? We all know this.)

Here are the initial scribbles of Bill's custom vessel in more casual attire, please ignore the wonky anatomy and the fact that I flat out refuse to ever draw him with a proper top hat:

He does actually need a cane in this vessel; since Bill tends to possess men and especially Ford more often than not, he's used to having a higher center of gravity when in a human body, so his ability to balance is pretty garbage. (He may or may not topple over with concerning regularity.) As for his empty eye socket, his bangs don't do much to hide it since he's so high-energy (dude is constantly on the move), and he also refuses to wear a patch over it, because 1.) why bother, and 2.) it's more fun to freak people out.

To better align with Ford's attraction towards the strange, the vessel was designed with super minor shapeshifting ability - Bill can look like a perfectly normal human, but he can also make the teeth and fingers sharper whenever he likes (which is mostly just when he's angry or being more of a menace than usual), as well as slit down the pupils or outright ditch the irises altogether. He can also have whatever he wants in the downstairs department, just because I'm an indecisive bitch on that front, lmao. Maybe he can have boobs if he wants them, too, but I ain't drawin' tits on no triangle, nuh-uh, no sir. His powers are otherwise limited down to what humans can do, because for some reason, the Love God doesn't trust Bill to not snap into Immediate Apocalypse Mode if he's given a physical form that's actually all his and no one else's.

Due to the body being all his and no one else's, it's also not really a standard possession so much as it is just...Bill being temporarily human. He's a lot more aware of and in tune with his human body's senses than he ever was with his "puppets", which makes things like pain a lot more intense. (He is mostly fine with this, because he's a fukken masochist.)

A bit more fashion stuff, including beach and party attire~

The beach outfit was mostly me trying and failing to nail down his body shape, which is still not bottom-heavy enough. I then decided to slap a bikini on it, before making it supremely unsexy with a pair of fugly shorts, because Bill's fashion choices are not allowed to be conventionally attractive. Meanwhile, the party outfit was mostly me looking at the casual attire I designed, asking 'how would Bill make this Worse', and then drawing the result. The mismatched thigh-highs are killing me inside! :D

No, his vessel can't actually summon fire, I just drew it for funzies before I decided on said vessel's limitations. Yes, the gold brick tattoos are absolutely a reference to the fic 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' - I simply could not resist.

I also HAD to draw Bill in one of his canonical(?) shirts, just made tank-top'd:

He is absolutely about to over-correct and fall backwards after this. USE YOUR CANE, GOOFBALL!!! (I meant to draw Bill closer to this degree of bottom-heavy in the other images, but. Alas. I am bad at anatomy, LOL)

And, last but not least before More Comic Time, I attempted to draw him closer to Gravity Falls style:

Jury's out on whether or not I succeeded, but - hey. I tried. Now have some Handyman Bill AU, but with my goofy human design, instead:

Hey, it's a 'mystery snack', and the guy wanted A BITE to eat - the joke was right there, guys!!! (Based on this post, because it just screamed BILL CIPHER to me.)

whoops i forgor bills ring and cracks ahaha too late now

I WILL SHUT UP AND STOP RAMBLING NOW K THX BYYYYYE
