I know those eyes.
[First]Ā PrevĀ <ā-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#wen qing#wen ning#Sibling similarity but you only see it when you realize they have the same soggy eyes.#These two always struck me as a bit of a play on Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli for 'siblings who contrast each other.#But after spending a lot more time marinating on Wen Ning I actually think they are way more similar that is initially apparent.#Sure their surface level personality traits are pretty contrastive. But they both are so willing to risk their lives for what's right#Who raised them? In a story so full of examples of how parents shape their children - why are these two lacking in parents?#I imagine that Wen Qing is the older sibling and so her morals of 'help those who need it no matter who they are' got passed a long.#But how did *she* arrive there? Was that instilled within her or was it a reaction against bearing witness to callousness and cruelty?#We'll never know..the only thing I can say for certain is Wen Qing is *so* soggy in the audio drama.#She's like the ant with the bindle. It's a hell of a way to bring a previously sharp tongued character back into the narritive.#Side note: Thank you all for being so patient and kind while I took my break!#It's been a very chaotic few weeks and I didn't realize how bad my burnout was getting. I'm back and ready to keep drawing again!

A blow straight through the heart.
Fic so good it ended me my art slump
The image quality got messed up, click here for a better version
#brienne of tarth#jaime lannister#jaime x brienne#asoiaf#a song of ice and fire#fic: The Golden Knight by dreadwulf#(based on)#the green knight#IT'S SO GOOD PLEASE READ IT#had me bawling for days#and please click for details they took years off my lifespan#i think i overdid it but i haven't touched a pen in like two years so#i got so carried away by the moss i forgot that i have to color all of that in later#but i wanted to do the descriptions justice#that and having the sudden overwhelming desire to draw a bunch of greenery (i have not seen a tree in weeks)#also i am aware the height difference is a bit off maybe but she's literally described as impossibly tall!#anyway i really hate what happened to the image quality. idk where i can upload it in hd#as to where i've been: long story short i graduated. employment got me. had burnout and family issues. quit and changed jobs. normal stuff#somewhere in between all that i got myself a cat :)#i only just regained the will to draw again and i hope it lasts this time#i might be able to post my older wips soon#nbsart

Coming to terms with the fact that I may not be writing this essay
#its supposed to be analyzing themes in a play but i didnt read/watch the play last week like i was supposed to#started watching/reading it about two hours ago and ive gotten through 2/3 acts#(this spanish dialect is one im not super familiar with and its moving very fast so i keep having to pause and reread things)#still got one left to go and its currently 10 pm#at this rate ill probably end up finishing by 11#and i dont think thats enough time to form a thesis and do more in depth analysis of the text and then write a whole essay about it#especially in my second language#i mean. technically i could push myself really hard and bullshit and try to spit out something that would get me a grade of more than 0#but idk. im trying to recover from burnout and reconsidering how i want to work on my school stuff going forward#its worth 5% of my grade. so. i guess ill see how im feeling after i finish this last act#rambling

Vi is gifted kid burnout but in the english major way
#sheās the best characterization Iāve seen of gifted kid burnout outside of super-genius characters#like. as a burnt out gifted kid by legal designation. she is me#trying to succeed at everything because thatās what youāre told to do or what you think needs to be done to be worth anything to anyone#being rigid to change because itās not being done right but at the same time accepting change so long as people stay with you#and also how that ties in with being an eldest sibling#because ik folks love the whole āgifted kid jinxā thing (not me but yaāll do you) but yaāllā#YAāLL DO NOT UNDERSTAND MY NEED FOR BURNT OUT ACADEMIC VIā#because Vi never got the chance to be a kid and learn and grow and find what she actually enjoyed in the world outside of the last drop crew#but look at her. the way she speaks and the way she tried to teach powder the lessons she earned the hard way in the gentlest way possible#in the way she so desperately clings on to people and memories#my girl would be a WRITER#my girl would be writing poetry drunk in her shitty basement apartment after hooking up with a girl#my girl would be writing novellas in prison and getting her degree#because you know she sees the world like a romantic. her world is art and emotion and devotion. to her family. to anything she cares about#i need more literary! student vi. i need more academic vi. i need more grudging debate-team captain vi#i need vi getting her own place and having an extensive book collection that she develops because of the loneliness#Her gkb is going from a leader & soldier to someone who could be useful regardless to someone who is useless & being okay w/ it ->#to being needed again and not knowing how to handle it but knowing she refuses to fuck it up this time#GIVE ME VI W/ MY GIFTED KID ARCCCCCC#this probs makes no sense and is like 4 tangents but Iāll expand on it later ācause im tired#coherency is for losers and the well-rested#vi arcane#arcane#arcane season 2#arcane spoilers#arcane season two#vi

So, my mom was telling me how much free time I have, and I was like, "I have no freetime wth do you mean?????" And I just wanna see if this is like. A normal way to think of things?
Things I need to do:
Finish reading icebound land
Make a whole lotta art that I promised people
Research study abroad programs
At least one Dutch lesson a day
Keep my room clean
Talk to my friends so they know I love them (and so I don't go insane)
My math homework
Keep myself clean (showers, finally brushing my teeth after months, etc etc) so I don't go insane
Eat at 7pm
Various things I enjoy as to not go insane
All from 6pm to 9 pm, every day, after being at school from 8 am to 3:30 pm and then The Public (teen center) from 3:30 to 5:30, and I need to be in bed by 9:30 and asleep by 10:00
So, basically, I'm "on the clock" from 7 am (When I start getting ready for school) until 9 pm, with no breaks
But yeah no I totally have free time. Yeaup
#ābut you never actually do that stuff! you just sit and scroll!ā#yeah cause if I'm not doing what I need to I'm not Allowed to do anything else#but I'm just. too tired. to do what I need yo#I hate high school#rambles#adhd#executive dysfunction#<- I've heard that this kinda mental math can be a symptom of those things? idk#im so tired#burnout#adhd burnout#(????? I think????)#high school#I'm just so tired of all of this#the sun is going down way too early and I barely speak at all at school and I never finish work early anymore and the teen center is loud#and I still want to be active in the fandom but I don't have time to make posts anymore#and I don't have any in person friends anymore and I don't know when the last time I got a hug was#and I'm just. so. tired. my room is clean and I have good grades and I talk to my friends everyday and I shower routinely#why the hell am I so stressed#I do everything I'm supposed to do#I just want to go somewhere else man#The Netherlands hopefully#I wanna actually DO something#go on a trip for band#not just finish the work put in front of me day after day after day after day#I wasn't built for this shit#I'm so fucking tired

#TKO_art 25#got so angry then spiral'd into an existential crisis#still in that crisis but if i don't think about it then i wont think about how nothing matters oh god its 2 late#at first it was a random angry side profile and then it turned into wuxia beatrice#which i'm not sure if that's a good thing or not and i think this looks too cringe so i'm not gonna look at this anymore#i just wanted to draw bea with an undercut#this reminded me of the time i actually wanted to draw beatrice in that wuxia style at the very beginning of my art journey#core memory unlocked#anyway i'll probably revist this sometime later#again bc their clothing is nice#i'm kinda annoyed because i didn't look up any refs for this and this looks pretty much like beatrice and i know when i go to work on#[redacted] it's gonna be a fucking pain#but also lets not discredit the fact that i was looking at beatrice refs for 3 hours before a small break and then this#sometimes i forget how much i love art#my existential crisis was making me doubt if doing art really is worth anything while i was sketching angrily#and really it was just me falling down a pit of oh this is what my next days will look like working on art to just be disappointed by the#end result that i forgot that it's a journey thing but most importantly u have to trust the process#but i also forgot making art is a slower type of gratification + serotonnin#i guess the thing is i'm waiting for the shoe to drop: burnout stage of art#where i do not want to touch art for years#and it's kinda because i push myself to do art like i'm going to die very soon that i'm worried about it#but also at the same time hmmmm idk bc seeing art is just so inspiring and makes me jealous that i kickstart myself into doing it#what are we talking about anyway blah blah blah

your artstyle looks like it would make really cute mlp fanart and its making me want to ask if youve ever drawn mlp characters so here i am
Now I have!
#i think I did used to draw some ponies years ago- a mutual of mine had a lot of pony ocs and I was in direct exposure#but Ive Never watched or gotten into the show š§ i just really like designing ponies LOL#the naming schemes and colors are really fun too. this ask got me thinking of making pony designs actually#also I dont know squat abt this guy but from what Ive read hes a College burnout. and his design goes so hard for no reason#so heās an automatic fav LOL#currently lining and coloring this in so expect to see a finished ver + some pony designs š heheheheā¦..#myart#doodles#ask#mlp#my little pony#i donāt really like the style for gen5. maybe its just because im so used to g4. ehh#mlp sunburst#sunburst

Hah projecting my sadness? What do you mean?
This was done four days ago (Jan 21) but I still wasnāt feeling good so I neglected to post it anywhere. Kept it around for myself mostly.
#think I was either listening a lot to āMessy-Lola Youngā or āat least Iām pretty-Harrietteā#during the sketching process#maybe some version of instrumental for Car Radio too I canāt recall. was kinda zoning out#anyways the dreading feeling of inadequacy haunts me often#my esteem tumbles and falls frequently but I canāt catch a grip this year it seems#got me worried that I could be experiencing more than simple burnout or laziness#I donāt want to go back to experiencing anhedonia again#anyways haha silly puzzle guy got injured whoopsies#I just wish I wasnāt regressing into that low confidence spiral again#I donāt want to be the kind of person who uses self-deprication and personal belittlement as a shield from feared criticism#but all my shortcomings are so glaringly obvious to me. Everthing I could be doing better. Especially when others do it effortlessly#guess this is all just part of being human#Iām good enough. Iām glad for what I have been able to do. And Iāll be able to do much more with time <3#doodles#sketches

I donāt really talk about it much on here because Iām extremely lucky to be able to understand exactly whatās going on in my body, but itās scary to live for years as someone who Gets Things Done in a way your peers donāt really understand, be putting effort into so many things you care about, and then suddenly lose the ability to do not only that but also basic tasks overnight after a deadline, and bit by bit after many. itās scary getting really irritable sometimes to the point of violence, just when you were meant to be celebrating the rewards from your hard work, the only impact of the work you did that you can see is that you overdrafted your ability to do anything. including have a basic conversation without getting grumpy or crying. and your body is going to make you pay it back with interest, you already know that, but you donāt know how to start filling yourself back up. youāve only ever enjoyed being on the grind, hard at work on exciting things.
I donāt know how many of you have been through the kind of burnout thatās years of needing 12hrs of sleep a night but with terrible insomnia, waking up to what feels like a hangover for weeks on end with little relief then rinse and repeat without having a single drink, feeling too sick to eat and needing to exercise to emotionally regulate but being unable to, anxiety that doesnāt come from worry but youāll pick that up too at some point, dissociating every time you try to do mentally taxing tasks that youāre PAID for so it takes an hour of grounding yourself just to get five minutes worth of productive concentration, falling asleep the minute you feel a little safe by being in the presence of loved ones. but I suspect Iām not the only one.
Iāve had songs for the energetic and angsty times leading up to this. for the exasperated times and the brain fog and the times where all my limited energy is tied up in feeling things. that I need to, need to acknowledge, but itās overwhelming and I live in a haze for weeks as a result of. songs telling of the kind of youth I wish I had, even when I was sold something else. songs for the months spent as a teenager trying to be there for my friends, worrying for them, distracting me from worrying for myself, trying to cling on to positivity and hope amongst it when I had to choose to make a discipline of always seeing that. Iāve had songs for healing and when healing is harder than expected and songs that have the right level of musical complexity to capture the layers of everything thatās happening in my head, making it sound good, telling me itās gonna be okay.
I donāt know how I could ever say thank you for this. but I do know that I see parts of myself in the people behind these songs, of course I do, and I worry for them as a result and ache for them because itās hard enough to feel this way when no one knows me or feels the need to control me or mould me into what they think I should be. Iād do anything to keep them all healthy and happy and all of their loved ones too and I donāt think itās strange as a fan to take that seriously. I hope we can understand the need to treat them gently, and to while not questioning their privacy and the fact that theyāre never going to tell us everything they go through, listen to our intuition when we catch something we relate to and treat what theyāve shared with us or hinted at with the dignity we would if someone we love told us something vulnerable. be kind in our expectations and be intentional in the fan culture we create because it does make its way back to them.
and the same goes with all of you. weāre bonding over the same things. I know a lot of this fandom is in the stage where interpersonal relationships are hard. we donāt mean to be grumpy of frustrated but we are. and Iām sending love to all of you. we can get through this together. itās what theyāve always longed for isnāt it?
#thoughts after how worried Iāve been recently. since june I think#Iād love to start a conversation in this fandom about the connection im newly discovering between burnout and mental illness and fatigue#in a way we can be positive about these things and be there for each other without calling anyone to confirm if we interpret some songs#to represent experiences that may or may not be theirs because it doesnāt matter in the end. we have these songs and if you get it you get#weāve all been clocked as ānot feeling very wellā recently anyway so. it doesnāt need to be specific. but we do need to be kind#like hey. artist. I donāt know exactly what youāre going through to have written these songs that mean this to me. but Iām here for you#fill in the blanks. all weāve got are our stories to share. I hope mine helps us understand and be a little kinder to those who need it#without thinking we can judge who we think needs it. but rather default to kindness and in the case of musicians etc that means patience#it means we learn together. what it means to connect and have boundaries and the boundaries they might like to have#anyway Iāve not said who these songs are by so if you reblog and wanna tag another artist thatās g Iāve got a few by several others as well#but I know this fandom. I know this band and I know exactly why I worry for each band member though Iām not gonna say here. just. take care#5 seconds of summer#5sos#luke hemmings#ashton irwin#calum hood#michael clifford#exact experience of burnout I have talked about is that of someone with adhd and a pda profile and some form of bipolar#which may be a product of pda profile things or not. these arenāt the only diagnoses Iād likely fit but they are the ones that explain the#story and have guided me to understand how to recover and Iām doing that bit by bit. and if you want me to tell you how please ask#but Iām not advertising it cause thatās weird Iād sound like a scammer if I did. even if when Iām hypomanic I think I can heal everyone

Hey omori fans! new genre of omori au that we should be making:
Previous iteration of headspace where Sunny got bored and decided to do a themed one, think about it right? Thereās been dozens of different headspaces over the four years Sunny isolated himself he couldnāt have literally been doing the exact same thing the entire time right?
If the cycle can repeat in as little time as three days IMAGINE HOW MANY THAT MUST BE OVER FOUR YEARS And to be entirely fair it is said that this particular iteration is shorter then usual but even still I canāt imagine one headspace adventure ever lasted more then a week or two
Maybe one time Sunny decided he wanted a sc-fi headspace or a steampunk headspace, THE POSSIBILITIES ARE INFINITE PEOPLE!!!
(And yes, I did realize halfway through typing this that this is just the undertale au phenomenon.. but should that stop you? Absolutely not)
Me? I wanna make one where sunny got bored of how PG everything was so he made headspace gothic grimdark, the characters are allowed to curse now and the enemies bleed but.. like in the way a 13 year old boy would think is cool ⦠right? Thatās funny to me and I would absolutely like to make designs for it
But thereās so many ideas someone could do here, where was the truth contained? What areas are new and whatās consistent? What form do the keys take?
Omori fans I WANT TO SEE THIS. Itās crack itās absolutely crack!! but do it anyway because it can also be fun !!!!
#omori#omori au#omori headspace#omori sunny#omori omori#Iām tagging him because itās his job to construct all these new headspaceās#heās getting tired of Sunnyās shit after sunny asks for a noir detective headspace#thatās why the one we play in is default headspace#omori got burnout and demanded they go back to normal for a bit#omori to me a is a very disgruntled writer trying his best to make this work for Sunnyās sake but GOD he is so tired#ācan we please just do something basic for once? do I really HAVE to design you another dragon?ā#ācan you not settle for captain spaceboy?ā#āyes I KNOW I didnāt even make captain spaceboy THATS THE POINTā#anyway#I think the time loop-like idea of headspace opens up so many possibilities that we are not considering
