I listened to Succession soundtrack a lot today and had about the most productive day I’ve had in so so long

things done today:

7h of coding

went to my sister’s kid’s birthday party (mario theme 🍄)

I thought my "struggling to get anything done until its very very late at night, and only for a few hours, after a full day of fatigue and laziness" behavior was a recent thing, in the wake of graduating and being unemployed and out of schooling, but its been at the very least 5 years because I made a comic about this when i was still IN college.

The main things I have learned from sewing the past few days:

The ladder stitch is magical. I will never NOT be obsessed with how it works.

Practice does in fact help. Shockingly.

You will learn how to use a thimble correctly and it will save your life

Pinning fabric down is actually like really fun if you're doing hand sewing (hated pinning for machine sewing)

Hand sewing WILL take 7000 years. May as well get through a movie or two or five while you're doing it

Sincerely placing 2 marker dashes on your thumbnail is a very good and easy way to keep your stitches even but eventually it will get into your muscle memory and you'll get the hang of it

Your stitches will be ugly at first but it is not the end of the world. The humble seam ripper or the even humbler pin or needle pulling your thread back through will save you

Knotting the thread is kind of evil at the end BUT if you slowly move the loop for the knot by your fabric it will knot very close to it so less issues there

Threading a needle also gets easier with practice (used to take me like 10 minutes in the past and now I can do it VERY quickly. Scary)

The sewing bug may bite you. You may start from a perspective of "well I just need to repair a hole in my pants so they're wearable" and a day later you will be fixing any item of clothing in your wardrobe <- true experience sadly 😰

It is very good if you love repetitive motions. Like SO so good if you do.

Darning is kind of scary if you are keeping the sock on your foot to do so (many many socks I had to repair sadly)

Genuinely if you feel you cannot manage the sewing machine bc of how out of control and fast it goes (PERHAPS just a me personally issue but still) hand sewing will feel so much less bad because you're in control of every stitch and if you fuck up it's much easier to undo than having to seam rip an entire row

Get scared constantly. This will not help however I think you do kind of have to do it scared sometimes. Or often.

Check your work OFTEN. Sometimes a stitch might be in the wrong place and checking both sides of the fabric will save you many mistakes down the road. Somehow stitched 3 perfectly straight stitches without realizing it and only bc of this, was able to catch it and make sure it was ok

Best part of doing repairs is you don't have to iron #lazy

And most of all it can be really really awesome to be able to use your old and worn clothes again after repair. Like wow my favorite shirt is functional again this RULES

rly not a fan of ppl imposing their idea of fun on me under the assumption that it's also my idea of fun

[akkivee]

i think its rly funny that most of the time when I draw Guz in a planned out pose, I draw him shirtless first so that i can figure out the angles and make sure everything is placed correctly and how the fabric is going to lay fdsjkl, so i actually draw him shirtless almost as often as I draw him clothed HFDSJKL

got the laptop tomfoolery mostly done now I think. Just got some downloading to do and if those won’t work, I’m out of ideas and will actually have to contact IT-support which I rly don’t want to do; I’ve been sudo-ing it up so much that it’ll be a wonder if I haven’t broken anything and ik they hate that. Also tmrw I’d have to do like 0.5 weeks worth of things. Is that doable? No. Am I still gonna try? Yeah.

things done:

4+ h of fighting with laptops again but this time with success i hope

late evening walk

I mean this vent completely neutrally and as an observation rather than Woe is Me negativity but going ham in my sketchbook has been Fun but along with not really Learning anything (tho historically no art knowledge ever sticks to my brain) I'm no closer to understanding how I WANT to draw! if that makes sense.

I dont really identify with or want to continue any of the patterns I try (nor do they get any more muscle memory-y, in the fundamentals area).

Its fine as long as its Fun but I really feel the aimlessness. Like I'll keep going but I've also. Been doing that. All I do is Keep Going, when does it all tetris together!

[becauseplot]

what if i wrote wildly ooc cell/roommates au comfort fic. what then.

[sundial-bee-scribbles]

going back to clean up and revise old original story things from years ago is, aside from being very satisfying sometimes, also quite funny because of the great amount of things you forget over the years:

omg i completely forgot this character was supposed to be a raging capitalist. actually let's keep that for the update it'll make things even funnier

GIRL THE PLOT HOLE. ITS KINDA SUBTLE BUT ITS STILL A PLOT HOLE HOW DID YOU NOT NOTICE IT. someone didn't do enough research clearly.

WHY did i make a vsynth your voice claim. we can't do that anymore because now i only ever associate that voice w/ the vsynth character and its gonna fuck me up. HATSUNE MIKU???

brother eughhh that color combination...

😔 wow you were really going through it back then girlie. noticing a common theme here

man your design/concept is cool as hell but we did nothing with you... we gotta either fix that or we're sending you to the chopping block to be recycled and/or appreciated by someone else sorry mate (alternatively: get sent to the purgatory folder by my sentimental ass [not to be confused with purgatory the actual story location])

YOU'RE A SOUNDCLOUD RAPPER?????

let's get you a happy ending man :( i think you deserve it. sorry my preteen self didnt see the vision but now i sure do

respectfully why tf did i name you that. cmon we can do better than that. PLUS we can attach better meaning to the name this time

... i know what you are. babygirl we can fit so many fucking references in here like YES WE GET IT YOU LIKE [MEDIA] and it adds to the funny/tragedy sometimes but. nerd (/aff).

now that we're here in the Future having experienced certain things... yeah that was eerily accurate. man 😔 but hey now with firsthand experience we can write it EVEN BETTER/ANGSTIER NOW

i'm so sorry we killed you off for no reason. now we gotta kill you FOR a reason and it's gotta be a better one. yeah sorry you don't get to live we need someone to haunt the narrative we're understaffed

what's up w/ all this royalty-free music

"i'll remember this later" no you won't 😭 wtf are you referring to girl. WHY DID YOU NOT SAVE BETTER COPIES OF THESE NOTES GIRL 😭😭😭 WHAT ARE YOU REFERENCING HERE I'M MISSING FOOTNOTES WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. WHAT WAS THIS THIS LINK IS DEAD BESTIE.

the great vanishing of 2033. i completely forgot i made this a thing, it was basically an event where in the year 2033 all of humanity just randomly vanished from earth. yes literally just that, it was never explained what caused it or where they all went or anything it just happened. it was a good segway into other things but... holy fuck girl
