there is no real meaningful distinction between Art and Craft, however i personally can only do the type of Art that is also extremely Craft. i need to make physical things with my hands and use tools and manipulate little objects and hoard all the specialized knives. otherwise i will start biting.
#this is not remotely a value judgment;#digital art is SO cool and i really admire people who can do it#but whenever i try it is like. viscerally uncomfortable for me.#i feel unmoored#i need Things#the more physical the process the better#so the papercraft is Extremely good enrichment for scribes#drawing with physical media is kind of fun#painting and calligraphy are better#but things that involve construction or assembly are where it's REALLY at#especially if it's somewhat modular or repetitive#printmaking. papercraft. hand-sewing. book arts.#just give me your most fiddly and tedious craft projects#i miss typesetting. typesetting was lit.#thinking about this obviously because i had the most wonderful time gluing all those tiny paper fragments down#this is probably the neurodivergency.

sobering realisation that i spent a decade of my life trying to die and that some of those years were recorded on this blog
#wdym it's 2025 and ive wasted my youth wishing for death instead of learning how to be alive#i feel so behind all my peers seems to have discovered who they are what they want out of life#and i didn't even realise i wanted to live until this summer#years of my life. gone#not just metaphorically i mean i dissociated to the point where i have years worth of gaps in my memory#it's- hard#i feel unmoored#rambles#mortem sibi consciscere#actually mentally ill

I’m very good overall at staying grounded in the moment but girlies it’s getting harder and harder to not be aware of the uncertain future and the faltering in my hands trying to juggle of the present
#there are so many variables for what happens in the next three months and a lot of things I need to do and the like combo depression and#burn out has never been worse I have never felt so detached and uncaring about schoolwork it is uncharacteristic#I feel unmoored#also I’ve received a lot of complicated not great news today that I’m working through processing#and I’ve been on cold medicine constantly for a month so I feel fucking addled all the time#I only feel functional when I have immediate demands on me of public speaking or leading a group activity or project#the intrinsic motivation is gone completely

being in-between books is a liminal state and therefore leaves your soul very vulnerable

Is there a word for when you're reading or listening to something, and suddenly it starts reminding you of the last time you read/listened to it, but its tied in with a bunch of really vauge, really weird memories you'd totally forgotten about? That feel more like you're remembering a dream but there's just this strong sense of attachment to the current activity, but the events/topics of the half memories feel really disconnected to the activity?
And then you just feel a little bit unreal/unsure of reality for a moment?
Is this anything? Am I losing my mind? 😅😬
#I've never done any drugs or anything close#but this is something thats happened before#like I'm listening to something and then suddenly it feels like I'm the Winter Soldier getting repressed memories back#but they're always super weird and more like memories of reading something?#like its not something I actually experienced but like something I used to know? if that makes sense?#but I can never grasp hold of the memory clear enough to really make sense of it#and then I just feel a little unreal/the sense of reality around me feels off for a bit afterwards#anyway#any diagnostic terms out there? 😅#repressed memories#sense of self#reality trip#i guess???#i remember in high school having a moment where I thought 'why am I me and not someone else experiencing life through their pov?'#and then I felt really weird and like unmoored from my self for a bit#like an out of body experience I guess?#i dunno 🤷♀️

Tysm for the tag @brawngp2009 !!!
Rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous and tag as many people as you have WIPs. People send an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then you post a snippet or tell them something about it!
Carriage fic illustrations
^ + sequel (Seduction Game)
Emotional Damage fic(Elbow Room)
Truth fic(Machiavelli quote goes here)
5+1 Crossdressing Masquerade Bet(Clothes Make The Men?)
Historical portrait ask game sketches
Funeral fic
Vettonso if they were teammates at Ferrari and went to Wrooom(chibi comic)
Vettonso silly argument(chibi comic)
I think that's it??? Luckily I got to strike chair wip off that list!!! Finally .....
I shall tag no pressure hmmmmmmm @rubyreadd @lil-shiro @pitconfirm @wewentcarracing !!!! <3
#please feel free to ask abt any!!!! now that im unmoored after finishing my big thing....#mentally i draft illustrations for every fic idea but for now they're all just fic wips except for the first one and the crossdressing one#I have a lot of random comic ideas that exist in my notes app theyre not very fully fledged.....#what i want to work on most is prob the crossdressing one or the carriage illustrations and sequel#just cause theyre probably the most fully evolved#catie.rambling.txt

sophia seeing cailan's body hanging there when they go back to ostagar, and suddenly all she can see even through the rot and the ruin is just how much he looked like alistair...... :'(
a mental image that totally will not haunt her through alistair's many years on the throne as rebellions and assassination attemps come and go. doesn't send her unhinged and unwise even a little
#I've never played back to ostagar before actually! getting some more delicious trauma for everyone#and also zev was there (affectionate)#oc: sophia amell#warden x alistair#dragon age#dragon age origins#the vibes are slightly weird in the dialogue in this dlc -- this uh. did not seem to be the relationship alistair and cailan had#such as it even was. but hey I got this angst out of it what more can I ask#I had sophia and alistair smooch on the platform place thingy where you meet him for the first time. I am a sap but I am free#what's that post about the unconquerable human spirit that's like 'despite all the horrors I am still horny' again. basically they're that#alistair is honestly The most pocket healed warrior of all time he's got two spirit healers who love him laser focused on him#at all times#(sophia switches between unleashing horrifying amounts of raw magical power on the enemy and going 'oh nooo let me see I'll fix it')#that boy is Protected. wynne and sophia glaring at you past his shoulders like 'he said no FUCKING pickles ok. last warning'#(actually probably sophia would glare at you from like. the height of his armpit; she's Short lol)#also partially why I had to change my canon b/c if alistair was left in the fade sophia would. she would quite simply end the world#long before solas had the time to. she would tear the veil to shreds to get to him. mind and circle mage restraint irretrievably lost#her greatest fear is becoming unmoored (which in many ways also means losing alistair) and everyone else should be afraid of that too#I do like how this playthrough is shaking out tho it feels like a more grown-up version of the story I told with them originally#more complicated and acknowledging the other forces pulling on them (when I was younger I liked the freedom of them both staying wardens)#but it just makes the 'we're sticking together *no matter what*' all the more satisfying and triumphant for me.#we'll find a way and if there is no way we'll fucking make it together :') and they do

I am still in the pits of despair but the extended time makes it less likely that it was writing related in the first place. Which means it's either a small blip (feels too strong for that tbh); seasonal depression is setting in (it's november; I will die if this is the cause) OR I am completely adrift and feeling like dying because...work is too free right now.
This is the easiest to fix root cause so I should perhaps root for it but also COME ON. I want to crawl into a ditch and die because what? I don't have engaging and urgent work? WORK? A lack of work is what's killing me? I am salaried, I get paid regardless. I will kill me myself instead at this point, what bootlicker capitalist behaviour is this???
#but i feel soooo numb and unmoored and without purpose#and i do have a bit of work#but none of it is urgent#none is collaborative#its all so meaningless#SIGH

im feeling so conflicted about my future like ever since dropping out against my will everything has been so bleak and i thought i wanted to continue in the medical field i even did a shadowing in sterile processing and i liked it but i dont know if i want to make that a career or even work there for a bit being there just reminds me of everything i lost like im grieving my years of grinding toward one thing and having it just pulled out from under me and i could get a job in spd and make good money but i really dont think i want it. i know i have to get out of my moms house bc being here is killing me it always has but im so flat broke i dont know when that can ever be. my friend offered me a part time barista job but its like 45 minutes away and i think im willing to do it but i just know my family will be dissatisfied and disappointed that im not doing anything of substance and even if i do it it wont be enough to get me out of here and if i take it what can that even mean for my future where can it lead me ive loved medicine for so long and thought it would be my path but this whole situation has turned me from it, i cant know what i want anymore
#sorryyyyyy for monologuing but i feel so drained amd unmoored and losttt like im so stressed and tired i dont know whats next#h

damn i missed you guys this has to be the first time in weeks that i've posted more than like 5 things in a day. i can't waaait for actual bayern tomorrow
#the next 4-5 months will be a delicate balancing act#and i will probably be very sporadically present#but it's important to me that you all know that your friendships mean a lot to me and i feel unmoored from parts of myself#when i can't be present/talk to you all#like obviously number 1 my individual friendships matter a lot to me#and number 2 i do feel that being on here has allowed me to be in touch with the european side of myself#without actually having to move to europe#which i always used to think i would have to do if i ever wanted to connect with that#anyway on that note i am using 'how easy would it be for me to temporarily move to germany' as a criterion for picking internships lol#so expect to see me there in 3-4 years#bella things

1) i am on holiday at the folk festival we go to in devon every year. it’s nice! i am listening to folk music and watching folk dancers and i have no signal during the day! i thought oh great i can do a mild digital detox!!!
2) england (and northern ireland? but afaik not scotland or wales so just saying the UK isn’t accurate) is in the middle of a spate of race riots and fascist pogroms. having no internet during the day means i get back to the place i am staying every evening. which does have wifi, and download all the horrible news to my brain at once.
3) parent unexpectedly in hospital today, trying to get updates with no signal, while sitting down in a tent watching morris dancers. absolutely absurd.
#it’s very unmooring!!!!!!#parent will probably be fine but it’s just been a LOT#and i feel guilty for being on holiday but???? like?????

#feeling unmoored. feels weird. directionless i guess#i just dont feel like i have a purpose rn. like whats the point of all this? i dont kno#and my head feels so empty. like im not obsessed with anything. my brain isnt overheating and forcing me to do things for better and worse#its too quiet. i have to assume that's the medication bc its literally never been like that ever. but again it makes me feel unmoored#what am i supposed to do if im not being dragged forward by the force of my own compulsions? whats the point of all this?#im sure it doesnt help that im so self isolated. i just dont kno how to have friends. or reciprocate feelings#or feel happiness in a way that makes sense. maybe aiming for happiness is too high a goal. maybe the best i can hope for is to be occupied#and not completely miserable. i dunno. i dunno.#but i have to actually start looking for a job this weekend bc grades are due Tuesday and then im adrift#even more so than now. its just so frustrating bc i dont even want to draw in a way that ive never experienced. its like i just dont care#about anything and my time feels empty. i dont kno what to do. i hate this#unrelated

anonymous opinions you say? i think you’re really cool but in the english teacher that is definitely going through a divorce way
okay i take back my enthusiasm about the ask game . because it's suddenly getting a little too real 😭
we're doing the anonymous opinion ask game
#a#hitting a cig. i do feel like an English teacher going through a divorce#it's because i'm a student who's been going through a Medical Leave Of Absence for the past month. to be honest#my professional life is very unmoored rn however i do feel that my blogging has been at an all-time high. as a result of the disasters#we're experiencing a golden age. we need to appreciate & cherish my divorced blogger time because once school starts again we're FUCKED

seasonal sads kicking my ass, feeling like my life is locked into the wrong path, wondering if it was inevitable that I would end up a wretched mass of wasted potential, or if there's some point where that first misstep happened and it just snowballed from there
#//juri speaks#i kind of think it was moving between my freshman and sophomore years of hs#i had so many fucking plans rolling for hs and beyond and then we moved to the middle of nowhere#and i had to start all over making new friends and trying to figure things out#but without any of the resources my previous school or the city we lived in had#and idk man.#i just perpetually feel so lost. unmoored and adrift and tossed about by an uncaring sea
