#i should make it a real hobby

[snipdoodle]

I wrote a short story for class that's about a kid who at some point in their life becomes a furry and they draw a beta version of their fursona when they're like 9 and i drew the picture and appended it to the story. hoping it makes them think i cant actually draw furries. throws them off my tail.

his name is Chips. isnt he cute.

sadly i think including the word "fursona" in the story eschews any doubts they may have had. whatever. im real. im myself. # authentic

I feel insane since I already do a (close to) fulltimer, but I'm gearing up the hours of work I put in my UX portfolio. Alarm set at 6 now every morning + work weekends until October 1st.

I really really want to finish all my work before the deepening of fall. This I plegded to myself. But writing out the research sections in particular (whilst ensuring it also looks "creative" and original, and isn't presented as just static, dry information) is incredibly time-consuming.

Yeah I succeed in keeping my head cool, but at times I feel all that is between my future life/realizing of dreams and now, is this darn portfolio and it feels challenging not to lose my shit over that and eat my desk whole lol

Again: patience, Michelle. It truly is a hell of a virtue

trying to figure out where I wanna take how I draw and render through accepting who I am as an artist in terms of preferences and skill. Tired of aiming for something so far out of reach and forcing myself to conform. I’m not aiming for a studio job anymore so why should I keep forcing myself through the agony of working tirelessly towards “industry quality” when 1) that word no longer means anything in a world where PS1-style and pixel art games can reign king and 2) again, what industry am I even part of?

but I think it’s still hard to let go because I thought I wanted this for a long time. Tbh sometimes I still do, and I guess I genuinely did want to be That for years. But I changed, the world’s changed. My tastes have changed and so has my outlook on how I want to handle my art.

I struggle to create because I keep trying to be someone I’m not. The fun is taken out of the process and I set myself up for disappointment. Idk.

HALLEJUAH!! I REMEMBERED HOW TO ACTUALLY FINISH WRITING SOMETHING FOR A CHANGE!!

Of course, it's not any of the fics I wanted to finish. I went back to what is essentially my bread-and-butter now and wrote a short-ish, random OrangeHook fluff. But considering how much writing's been a struggle as of late, I'm just glad that I successfully finished something. I was back in one of those stretches where I couldn't seem to write much of anything. And this fic isn't about their age difference or Hook being a cuddlebug, so...progress?

Unless I decide I completely hate it (which is always a possibility) expect something to drop on Valentine's Day, tis the season, after all.

people smarter than me have said this before but jesus christ why does every job seem to require at least a year of experience and a degree in some hyperspecific field. where did the entry level positions go? how am i even supposed to get experience if none of yall will give me a job without it?

in retrospect it's crazy how we just let parents turn to the media and blame their child's hobbies when their children commit suicide. I get why news outlets let it happen (if you can say "video games made my kid suicidal" or "my kid hung himself because uh... he was doing The TikTok Noose Challenge" then it justifies banning those things and enforcing stricter means of monitoring what kids do, on top of giving the parent an out for their culpability in the situation), but if your brain hasn't completely calcified with a boomerlike contempt for The Youth, you should immediately recognize this rhetoric as cope for a massive parenting fuckup. and generally if you examine a lot of these instances that make news, the sequence of events is normally the same; a kid is relatively isolated due to bullying or abuse, their parents don't know how to connect with them (or at worst view their lack of conformity as a burden), the child does not feel safe turning to their parent for comfort, the parent doesn't make any effort to aid the child in connecting with similar-minded peers (or don't bother until the issue is so apparent that they can't afford to ignore it), the child turns to outlets to sate their desire for interaction and belonging until they feel backed against a wall. parenting is hard, but the isolation that produces suicide is largely preventable in ways that a lot of parents gloss over because they do not consider the inner lives of their children to be real or meaningful. and going on TV to bleat to the world about how the one thing that your 14 year old strongly identified with is actually a corrupting influence just seems like a means of obliterating the remaining personhood of that child. you can call me callous, but to me these parents are looking at their child's suicide as another tantrum to be managed, and controlling their image post-mortem is their discipline of choice.

Begging for more chapters will not manifest more chapters. Aggressively or snidely remarking on someone's lack of updates will not manifest more chapters. Positively affirming the writer and offering your support could manifest more chapters. But, you know, things can happen. One time a person didn't update their fic in while because their bones were dissolving. It hurts some people to type yet they still do it. Why should people write for you if you take them for granted or treat them like dirt? Be the reason why a person would continue on despite the pain they're facing in their lives; whether mental or physical. Spark joy in them. They deserve better.

They are humans! Not robots that can effortlessly crank stuff out. AI is what will do that for you. If you want to read something soulless generated from the amalgamation of already existing works and not something new and exciting :)

As a creative I have a lot of feelings about this 😭 rant over

Please, for the love of god, please don’t be this person. No matter how long it’s been since an update, no matter how many unfinished stories are sitting on their account, no matter what - do not be this person.

Not only is it insanely rude, but you also do more damage than you think be being such a self-entitled ass about something someone created for free and for fun. “This author” can see what you say.

RIP decency indeed.
