Brain death worms are funny because it'll say things like "who would want to watch a speed paint followed by a video essay followed by a cosplay video? Nobody would do that, people want one consistent thing, you need to pick one if you want to start making long form videos as a hobby."
And then proceed to have you watch a speed paint followed by a video essay followed by a cosplay tutorial because those are all things that you personally enjoy.
#this is me fighting with myself mostly#every time I get super into a youtuber I go “I wanna make videos like that!”#and none of them make remotely similar content#part of me thinks I should just say screw it and throw caution to the wind#if it stays just a hobby#why should I care about video performance or anything the like?#And if it goes past being a hobby and into a career well then I have undeniable proof to my brain that people WOULD enjoy that sorta thing

best thing about batman is that he's a superficially grimdark character, gothic & brooding & angst ridden etc..........but then it turns out he has a million hobbies, regularly goes on adventures with his besties, and has a dozen adopted kids he's raising with his devoted foster dad. good for him
#dude's out there living his best life he's just goth#batman's hobbies include staying active...world (and space) travel...volunteer work in his local community#plus bonding with his kids over shared interests. (every day is take-your-kid-to-work-day in the Bats household)#he's even casually dating a woman from work (she's a cat lady not looking for commitment but yeah she's met his kids)#rich and fulfilling lifestyle#he is out there living a thrilling and exciting life surrounded by friends and family!!!#literally he's just goth and autistic leave him alone

#tumblr stays because i truly Enjoy tumblr and it does make me happy#i get to see actual art that is spread and appreciated by people who i truly consider to be my friends#and reddit stays because it’s genuinely helpful for hobbies and just finding random info during the death of google#but everything else? AXED. GONE.

making myself a proper healthy & delicious dinner like 'lucanis dellamorte would be so proud of me. not that he has a fucking leg to stand on because he's almost certainly slept all of 50 minutes in the last 48 hours and is more caffeine than man right now, but still'
#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#lucanis dellamorte#there's the first stages of a meta swirling around in my head about how dealing with spite is making lucanis adopt a number of habits#and attitudes you'd normally see in a teenager lol -- habits and attitudes he almost certainly was not allowed to indulge in#AS a teenager. just thinking. about stuff. (the demon is trauma finally catching up to him the metaphor is not very subtle haha)#staying up super late brooding alone in his room picking up new hobbies and interests having his first real relationship...#(in either way that can play out)#he's going through it and also speedrunning some shit lmao#I am gently turning him around in my head. no microwave just. gently turning and gazing. I just want him to be happy

Reminder for the dpxdc writers!
Yeah I know lots of us get canon and fanon confused and some never watched Danny Phantom which is why I’m going to *friendly remind everyone* that if you don’t want to use the Ghost King Danny thing, it’s—it’s fanon. Like. You do not need to go out of your way to make it Not A Thing, if you find it’s hindering your plot line or whatever. You don’t have to write around it. At this point, you might need to clarify it’s not something you’re doing, since it’s so common, but like—if I have to read one more plot where they’re twisted up in knots to avoid it, like. Pls. You can do what you want and that includes this, we already disregard canon all the time, you can buck common fanon as well I’m—
That’s not to say I’m against Ghost King Danny, but I’m starting to think it’s one of those things people are afraid to stray from because they think it’s it’s one of the more… pillar parts? Of Danny’s character and canon? When it’s, like, not. If you want to write in reasons why he’s not king and etc etc you CAN, it’s your story and maybe it even serves your plot or tone or you just want to, but you can also just not even have it be a consideration. You’re free to just not do it.
#dpxdc#this isn’t me going It’s Not Canon So WHY-#like y’all do what you want#but I keep seeing these fics or posts or comments and it’s very much like they’re trying to dodge something they literally don’t have to do#like we say disregard canon for a reason?#some stuff we kinda consider what I’m calling either required canon or pillar canon#where you can only shift it a little or only one of them at MOST before it becomes unrecognizable as a fan piece#take Danny’s first name. we sometimes switch his last name or his legal full name#but his nickname STAYS Danny. this is very rarely strayed from#Jazz is always his older sister. sam likes gardening. there’s ghosts around. stuff like that#it’s not that it’s never messed with (mermaid au or reverse ages) but there is a sort of boundary there#like maybe you switch the ages or switch the hobbies or the ghosts are something else but like there’s only so much? if that makes sense#bc eventually the characters and or setting become unrecognizable if you do Too Much#and I feel like maybe people think Danny HAS to be Ghost King just like how the Waynes HAVE to be the Bats#I can’t stress enough that you can do what you want#but esp for fanon things you can just. not do them.#I don’t do obsessions in my (unpublished) works!#bc I don’t like working with them! it’s fine to read and all but I don’t like writing with them very often#it also feels like the ghost king Danny thing is often so backburner that it’s like… why?#why have this when it seems it’s just More Stress And A Costume Change Powerup#but that’s just my thoughts and rant you can ABSOLUTELY ignore it

If I have energy I want to draw out some designs for an au I'm spontaneously writing.
(Medieval times, there's a Prophecy. Nightmare rules over this kingdom and is supposed to complete this prophecy, he refuses to because it would harm the people. Dream was sent away and banished by Night because he was dis-illusioned into thinking the prophecy was a Good Thing abd what he was raised to complete. Night collected his Knights (Killer, Dust, Horror, and Cross most recently) and trains them and tells them the truth of the prophecy. They're loyal to him. One day the magic of the prophesy (Apple Magic) leaves Nightmare unexpectedly, returning him to the state he was in before he accepted the mantle. This puts a target on his back and gives Dream a huge advantage in maybe making a comeback. The Knight's decide that their King (newly a young lad and variably scared and frightened) must be protected and they run the kingdom as he normally would, while also ensuring he survives and that the prophecy can't be completed.)
#yes this is fueled from RealAge AU vibes#and yes I technically have circled back around to my own initial post but like#the visual of these specific guys who've had various hardships in their lives suddenly like... idk... gaining a purpose and a protector in#Nightmare then seeing him reduced to a fraction of what they'd known him as. and still deciding to follow and care for him?#this au gives off distinct Older Brother energy because Night is like... 13-ish and not young enough to#baby but not old enough to resume his duties immediately#and he's got this like... awkward teen anxiety suddenly flooding through him that he doesn't know how to cope with#so the guys turn around and use lessons Night taught them while they adjusted to help him#Night's weak from Magic-loss? well he used to make sure Dust got bed rest and a meal so that's what we'll do!#Night is losing a huge chunk of his autonomy? They found a hobby for Killer so what does Night like?#just... yeah#plus Dream fully believes his bro pushed him out due to greed for power and had gathered forces to rally with him during exile#so he's the returned golden prince#and I imagine here that the final stand involves the knights scattering to stop Dream's forces while Killer stays with Night (<- most loyal)#and Killer hides Night right before Dream shows#and Dream says a bunch of vitriolic stuff about how Night ran and sacrificed his men and such and cuts down Killer with a near fatal blow#and Night finally manages to get out of wherever Killer stashed him and there's a moment where#Dream is seeing his little brother abd Night is seeing the man who lost his rights to be called brother when he attacked his Knights#and like... idk man#also Error is definitely Night's court magician/wizard because he bends reality in ways it really shouldn't#and here Error is younger because. i. I like the idea of an Errormare subplot but also like. the idea of scary spooky Overlord NM looking at#the wizard who just turned a vase inside out who's like 10 and learning he's a runaway and sponsoring him? yeah that's silly.#turns out Apple Night appreciated Error's raw talent. after the fact Night realizes he admires Error. insane tonal whiplash from his Knights#who have Zero protocol for courtships and kinda like. just watch it happen after the chaos is over#Okay that's all. i need to do my homework

Thinkin about how I’ve seen a lot of super interesting interpretations of Henry being religious or at least believing in God (makes sense— he was raised in Utah after all, lmao). I really dig this, maybe it’s because I was raised in a regions environment and hashtag religious trauma!!! But also- do we think if he did believe in God, he stopped doing so after Charlie’s death, the children that went missing at HIS restaurant, aaaaaaaaand finally figuring out that his best friend that he once trusted and cared for uh. Was responsible for ruining his life and taking so many others??
Basically in my head he went from 🙏 to
#I know he tells William to go to hell in that awesome speech of his#but I’m an atheist and I still say ‘’I hope they burn in hell’’ while talking about super bad ppl so like. idk. just an expression?#IM READING SO INTO THIS LMFAOOOOOOOOO GOODNIGHT.#fnaf#five nights at freddy's#henry emily#william afton#I need normal people hobbies#no I don’t this is too much fun. staying insane for now#my ideas#religion tw

#probably my last sunny walk at home :(#keeeeellll meeeee#i think one of the things i hate about going back to uni is not being able to experience autumn and winter at home like i used to#it’s weird because i’ve always loved them and considered them my favourite seasons.#but last year (and now this year) i’m realizing that oh! i think it’s because i got to come home after a long day and be in a safe familiar#space. and at uni everything is still a bit unfamiliar and not very comforting so the long cold days get so much harder#but i will surviveeeeeee#counting on gilmore girls to get me through it!! and also love is blind s7. i LOVE having things to look forward to every week it makes tim#fly by so fast. last yr every friday night was reserved for me and i ate frozen pizza or takeout and/or my favourite snacks and#watch my comfort films :( i cooked a lot those nights too 2 save money but yeah. it was rlly nice to have that comfy safe time to myself#i think it rlly got me thru uni.#ik it’s gonna be so hard to get back into a routine but im trying to tell myself that i need to like. focus on the basics first. adulting#can be so hard & i wanna do everything at once! i wanna b perfect in all areas. always do my hobbies. etc etc but i#i couldnt even get out of bed to make myself meals sometimes 💔 so i need to like remember if i don’t journal or read a whole book in a day#not the end of the world. and most importantly i need to be EATING and staying active and SLEEPING FIRST and foremost cause then hopefully#i won’t feel like a zombie.#okay anyways.#feeling sad feeling tired feeling unmotivated but also feeling a teensy bit excited for finally BEING ALONE!!!!#i have my cardiologist appt tmrw so maybe that’s why i feel so yuck also. just thinking abt it makes me wanna throw up#i hope everything goes well#anyways bye bye#♡ dear diary…

so close to a milestone already and i haven’t even been back for a month :(
#all the followers i had before i turned this into a writing blog had been blocked so i basically started on a blank slate#thank you to my old mooties who gave lil old me a chance and to all the incredible new mooties i’ve met thus far#(there are so many of you i wanna squeeze)#and also thank you to my followers!! srsly i see y’all#it’s just a lil crazy bc the reason why i went on hiatus for so long was because i got burnt out and felt like i wasn’t good enough#it’s taken what like 2 years of passive writing practice (aka me writing stuff and just sending it to a few friends to read) for me to#become confident in my writing to post again and hopefully it stays that way bc writing is truly a hobby i enjoy#i probably won’t be doing an event bc i still feel undeserving (and that’s something i need to work on) but THANK YOU I LOVE YOU#chitchatting ᵔᴗᵔ

I genuinely can't stand it anymore, the whole "get a job" as a comeback, the whole shaming people who are unemployed, shaming people who live in their parents basements. Can we stop that already? "Get a hobby" is a lot better anyway.
#jobs aren't accessible and a lot of people who don't work actually have a valid reason like disability like me?#somehow im too disabled to work but at the eyes of the government I'm not disabled enough to get any sort of help#so im kinda doomed to stay at my parents house forever#it's getting hard trust me because woth age i kinda want my own money but we can't really do anything for that i have less than#50€ a month to have hobbies and all so yea it's really difficult but at least i dont pay food and bills#i fucking hate capitalism#i just wanna enjoy my life without stressing out about starving to death#grem stuff

Did you man beam Drizzle? If so, why not just pair up Rustle with Cranberry instead? I get for the amazing ship name but I'm curious about the choice /gen
I totally forgot Drizzle's original gender, but also, I really don't want to overthink it. I'm so tired of overthinking it. I wanted CranberryDrizzle funny ship name and it was getting exhausting to plan out where every pairing in several hundred cats would be getting their kits from
Rustle is going to die at some point after having two QR kittens, and Cranberrydrizzle is going to have 2 important litters (Sunstrike and Emberfoot in the first, Fernstripe in the second). I have done an exhausting amount of work (weeks of planning and hours of work at a time, scouring the wiki and facebook screenshots, redrawing tangles, reading through suggestions, writing out full posts of changes and creating new groups with their own histories) untangling broken fragments of family trees and like... I'm tired. No more shuffling. I deserve Funny Ship Name. is this too much to ask
Boy Drizzle is just the easiest answer. I'd like for Drizzle to just be transfem but I was also told to avoid cats being trans just to have kits, which is ALSO frustrating me at this point, I don't like this weight of "perfect representation" that's being put on me when I'M not even perfect representation as a living human queer.
Do I let Drizzle be transfem and "break a rule," or change them to a boy and "lose" a lesbian pairing? It feels gross to me to have fallen into a mindset where I'm treating queer relationships like quotas or rigid rulesets
I feel like if I 'get something wrong' (like forget the gender of a Missing Kit or a side character, or handwave 'where did these kits come from' with 'trans/queen's rights' without considering a real secret surrogate) I'm going to get smacked upside the head and be forced to hyperfocus on one small part of a massive project when I already have a million other things to work on.
So unfortunately the most honest answer I can probably give is that im tired. I'm really tired. Overthinking minor details before making every single tumblr post is draining me. I forgot the missing kit's original author-assigned gender and didn't scroll to the bottom of Onestar's wiki page to check it before posting. I like the ship name. Cranberrysplash somehow gets pregnant twice, but I was told to avoid trans bioparents, yet doing that is making things even harder after I had to do weeks of work to make a good tree in the first place
I'll figure out Drizzlefall's gender when they become relevant in some context
#i dont want cranberryrustle i want cranberrydrizzle#for my own sanity I am probably going to start straightup deleting asks and replies about accidental misgenderings of missing kits#i cannot keep the gender and names of 600+ characters straight 100% of the time#Especially when they were only named in authorial statements#i deserve funny ship name. i just. i deserve funny ship name#do i not bleed enough to deserve funny ship name#i don't think I can work with this ''minimize trans bioparents'' rule. It's done nothing but cause me frustration and make burnout set in#redtail is a man and he gave birth. get over it. im sick of feeling guilty over my own hobby project#for characters like sedge where it's a plot point it will stay but I CANT keep working with it in mind#Hazeltail is unkilled. She is trans. She is taking Mousewhisker's place in ThunderClan so he can go to riverclan#If canon gives mouse kittens then they will be hazeltail's. trans people fuck and have kids. deal with it#and you know what? in a world with countries that will fucking sterilize you if you want to legally transition#maybe it *should* be more normalized.#tw transphobia#btw anon it's clear you're being genuine so im not mad at you#vent a long time coming I think#bone babble
