Don't let obligation or fear keep you from doing the right thing. You're worth more than Daddy says. And you always have a choice. You still have the right to choose, Way.

Do you have guilt in your heart for doing what you had to do?

digital painting, 17 hours - drawing video under the cut

after doing two more challenging/original effort/multiple references paintings, it was frankly a relief to just stick to the one reference on this one. best of the no thoughts head empty just draw

i love hamish linklater's face in midnight mass, so expressive. i knew i wanted to paint it at some point and wet and messy father paul jumped out at me

song: bug like an angel by mitski

cross-generational friendships have been so important and formative and crucial to my adulthood. and i'm not talking about "oh I'm in my 20s and nearly all my friends are in their 30s ha ha ha" [true], I'm talking about "I labored side-by-side with people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s and became friends with them."

one such friend and I went to a funeral today to support a third friend and it really reaffirmed how important these relationships have been to me and how good they are for keeping perspective and taking advice from people with more experience than you.

tomorrow I'm going on a walk and then getting lunch with an old boss-turned-friend/mentor who's old enough to be my mother (like, literally her oldest son is my age) and I'm looking forward to it so much. having friends who you can bond with but also learn life lessons from is such a gift and it makes me lament my current work situation (everyone on my team is within a 3-year age range).

#which is good for memes and general internet savviness but like. there's so much to be learned from more ppl y'know #i'm glad we got to support our friend today #and I'm soooo looking forward to tomorrow. I miss this woman so much. she really sees herself in me (we have similar ''backstories'')#and I think a lot about how she told me that hiring me (and a few other Young Guns) made her change her mind about millennials/gen z [lolll #but like that's exactly it right? that you can make connections with people you may NOT think you have community with #and BAM suddenly you're not just in community but you're also friends. you can take and give in turn and just really gain better insight #sorry I'm passionate about multigenerational friendships. the 68yo south sider I worked with taught me so much lol I love her

I start my new job tomorrow morning and I'm like getting sick with anxiety lol

#it's just online training for the first week but somehow that's making me more anxious idk #starts at 8 am and I won't get my login information until that morning so it's going to be fun working out technical issues while #I'm barely awake lol. I pussied out of quitting my last/current job and went on call instead I offered to work today but backed out and I'm #glad I did. I needed a buffer. I feel bad though lol. I can't stop wondering if I'm going to regret this but I know I'm not I'm just afraid #of change. Afraid of doing something new and scary but I'll be ok. Even if it doesn't work out somehow well at least I tried I guess #still scared.... pray 4 me

the fool 🤝 jin guangyao being easily the most dynamic and compelling characters in their respective canons, likely for reasons that were substantially if not entirely unintentional on the part of their respective authors

#this thought brought to u by a conversation i had earlier today with confusion-and-more about all the different reasons jgy compels us #and remembering exactly how i felt when i first developed beloved brainrot back in the late 90s/early 00s #did robin hobb intend to write such an iconic queer deuteragonist when she first wrote assassin's apprentice?#just based on the panels i've attended while listening to her talk (and she is a very thoughtful and engaging speaker)#i truthfully don't think so since iirc she didn't intend for the fool to become as integral to the six duchies novels as he became #now try to imagine the six duchies books without him as the fulcrum that balances the weight of the whole narrative #now try to imagine mdzs without jin guangyao and his capacity for tremendous visionary change and also his darkness #also quick note don't read this post and think i'm trying to assert that they're similar characters because i am not #beyond the fact that i do not think that what makes them both so compelling to me #is what either author had in mind (at least consciously) while writing them #that said i'm so glad that they did. bless u robin bless u mxtx #thank you for the gift of the fool and jin guangyao #i don't think i'll ever get over the terminal case of brainrot i have about both of them and i'm fine with that #the fool #jin guangyao #he did crimes??? good for him 😌

i keep finding reminders of how i used to act/type a few years ago and i shrivel up. and die.

#i am so so so glad that i'm still on friendly terms with a lot of you guys because i am not a strong enough person #if i was interacting with someone like my past self i think i'd keep a long distance before gently closing the door #drags my hands down my face. the masking was so much. too much.#i stumbled across drawings from 2016 or so and a lot of it was based on memes my friend* at the time liked #which i vividly recall thinking 'this seems really weird. but i think it'll make them laugh!' which. in fairness. it did #but i'm just not & have never been the sort of person who is wholly comfortable acting like that anyway #it always felt off. but i'd lean into it because it's all i really knew people expected of me & i was scared of making a jarring change #which. in a sense. losing my ''best friend*'' & primary discord server at the time somewhat helped w that transition period #into. well. what i am today!#i like to think i'm still silly enough but in a more authentic way to myself & my own humor...#it feels a lot more real - the ways in which i put myself out there. i don't have the weight of feeling like i 'must' close myself off #i get to be open. whether it's here or among friends. i feel more genuine and - ironically - alive; for better and for worse i suppose #jestersvaguely #*the same person. not very good for a multitude of reasons + they were twice my age at the time #which isn't inherently a bad thing to be clear. but combined w a lot of behavior they facilitated + topics of conversation it's... well.#but i digress #i'm glad that things have improved - generally speaking :]

my niece is staying with us for the whole weekend for the first time. until now it's always been one night only, not two.

it's the second night now and I have already decided this is not happening again anytime soon. I'm so fucking exhausted. it'd be less exhausting if it was my nephew, I think - he's older and also doesn't need as much help (even when he was her age).

I love my niece but she just asks so many questions. like when we're watching a show or a movie, even if it's one she has seen before (even multiple times), she doesn't understand what's going on and constantly asks me to explain everything. I don't mind it, really, but it does take a lot of energy. plus tonight it took over two hours for her to fall asleep because she was scared by the noises of the house and the nearby road. I get it, but damn I'm so fucking tired, I just want to sleep 😭

#my nephew will get to stay for two nights soon so that it's fair and everything #but then I think we'll go back to one night only for a while #I just can't sleep when someone else is here. and I do not handle being tired well. or rather being even more tired than usual #so yeah no this is too much #I'm so glad I don't have children. I literally would not survive #we played board games with her today. her idea. she chose the gsme #but it was so fucking difficult.....#I think most kids would have understood this game at like. 10 maybe. probably before that really #she's 12 and a half and just did not get it at all #she's got difficulties learning and she's finally getting (more) help for that in school now but I'm really.. a bit shocked that it took #this long for her parents to accept that #she's a great kid but it's been obvious since she started school that she needs more help #so anyway yeah it's 3am and I think she finally fell asleep after I put Charmed on for her #I've got a massive headache and I'm so fucking tired I feel like I'm losing my mind lol #couldn't sleep last night & I hope it's better tonight. but having someone else here is stressful.#ugh I wish this wasn't so hard for me. I want to be the fun aunt (I'm their only aunt.. aunt-like person... whatever) but I know I get more #and more impatient when they're here. I hate that. but I can't change it. I've tried! for 10 years! but it didn't work #don't get me wrong - I'm never mean or angry with them. I just get somewhat annoyed and I know it's noticeable and I hate that #they don't seem to mind. they love visiting us. but I don't like it because I hated the way adults treated me when I was a kid so I want to #be better #:(#anyway I have to sleep now or tomorrow will be hell :)#personal

it sucks that so much of my family has also dealt with cancer but it's really lovely that they were able to give me warnings about things

#a friend of mine just had a computer glitch and lost a bunch of work and i said it sucked and i'm sorry and asked if he could email his prof #and he's i think just really upset about it as i would be too bc that does suck so bad #but i don't have the energy to commiserate. i feel like a steaming pile of shit right now. i only got home 30 minutes ago from the hospital #and i have to go back tomorrow and then spend the rest of the day probably feeling like this while also having to go to another appointment #bc i need to get my earrings changed out so i can take them out for my body scan #and then going home with earl and setting up. and finally getting a bday gift to my friend as well and dropping that off #i feel increasingly gross and sick rn and this was just one injection #but my relatives were like 'listen. no one in your life is going to get this unless they've had cancer. and it sucks but that's how it is'#and i'm just very glad i got that heads up because i'm getting a lot of love and support from relatives now #esp the ones who also dealt with cancer #but it's just been radio silence from friends. and i get it i get they have their own lives and might not know what to say #but it does still hurt a little #i do have one friend who has been lovely and accommodating with the diet i have to be on #but my other best friend is just. i think with his school he has his own friends and his own life but. yeah. it just hurts a little #maybe i'm being irrational idk. something to discuss with my therapist today at our appointment #not everything is about me etc etc #this is the same friend who lost his work that i mentioned in the tags #cancer tw

You know what I like? Star Trek

#had a conversation with my sister today and kept denigrating my current passion and lifestyle but like... maybe don't do that?#listen ok I've been trying to be cool my whole life #and I have failed cause at my core I am just not a chill person #shamelessly leaning into something that I like isn't something I did openly before #and honestly? it's changed me for the better #low key it's the reason I don't have a real job right now #because I've been miserable in every structured job I've had (except for maybe college teaching)#and the last conversation I had with my grandpa before he died he asked me if I was happy because that's all that mattered #and while this little shift in existence is ridiculous in the grand scheme of what I've accomplished in my life #and hustling is harder than just showing up and getting a paycheck #and however much I'm not meeting my parents' vision of my potential #I am closer to actually being able to answer his question honestly than ever before #also it led to the wild neurodivergent revelations #so being able to declare openly that I like something is already a shift #and being able to engage with people who are honestly the most open kindest group I've ever encountered?#amazing #cause I'm actually a mega loner who barely talks to people #I'm honestly so glad I got lost in the delta quadrant cause without boyager I wouldn't have come to these conclusions #so yeah I'm kinda really into Star Trek #and if you've read this I'm sure you already know how severely uncool and locked into this I am but alas I can confirm by talking inthe tags #en fin

I've been doing so much research for my Fit disability fic (mostly research about prosthetics) and I've been doing a lot of research about hearing aids too, completely forgetting I have an Actual Person In My Life who uses hearing aids who I could straight up ask about stuff.

#i talk #fic talk #one of those things where it's just. so normal I forgot about it. lmao #was literally talking about hearing aids with him for an hour today and then I was suddenly like ''WAIT. IM A FOOL''#<- not really though. everyone's experience is different and more research is never a bad thing #it's just funny that I immediately went ''ah yes let's look at research papers and medical notes and people's lived experience etc.''#instead of being like ''Hey lemme start by asking my Tio a few basic questions''#pftttt #I really hope I finish chapter 2 by Monday I wound up having a good idea and changed a big chunk #I'm excited though! the change makes things even better and fleshes stuff out more #I'm really glad I shared chapter one. Everyone's been so nice and it's giving me even more motivation to work on the fic #I need to speed eat and pass out so I can wake up early (ish) and try to work on it before tomorrow's QSMP event #prayer hands #qsmp talk

all this wandasho content drop today made me so happy despite what i think about it though... i did not realize how much i missed my children but looking at literally anything wxs related today is making me tear up from happiness i almost can't function because my chest is being squeezed with this weirdly happy feeling. i don't think it's Normal or Healthy but like whatever. wandashooooo😭😭

#listening to my god more did not help at all too. i changed my mind. THIS SONG IS SO GOOD #better than coral even... if the full version drops i'll see if i can even dare to say better than sekahaji...#if the fandom doesn't give it attention then i'll die btw. die a very painful death #i can't wait to make it my layout for every social media when the mv drops officially ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️#ri says the less serious things. the tag #i'm so glad i am sick again and didn't go to school today. i don't think i could handle being in public like that.#wandasho is my only rescue in these dark trying times

This is a personal post.

There's a tree covered in white flowers visible from a window within eyeshot of the reference desk at work, and maybe spring is real after all.

#random personal stuff #we need some beauty in this town and it's refreshing to have this #especially on a day like today #I came in early since my boss is out #and the librarian who also opens on Monday apparently can't handle it if I ever do anything different and plied me with questions #was he there an hour EARLY?! is it TIME CHANGE?!#so much for some blessed solitude this morning #but I'm glad I saw that tree
