How life feels when I don't feel like I'm expected to draw something

#vent #I have not felt a lot of joy drawing in so long #it always feels like a chore #I feel like i have to draw something everyday #and i feel guilty if i dont draw something #but i don't have any other hobbies #Ive tried to start so many new hobbies but i hate not being able to get it right the first time #i dont want to give up on art at all #but its so rare to find motivation #anyways you can ignore this post

Which is your favorite platform? (of the ones you have accounts to post things I mean. I can't imagine it being Instagram since you don't really post there which honestly fair)

Tumblr, Twitter (X?) bluesky? Something else?

I think I'm going to have to go with tumblr, and it's not just because we're here. Twitter and Bluesky are nice and my experiences on both are overwhelmingly positive. But tumblr has an atmosphere that encourages originality, sharing your creations and talking about things in depth.

#I dislike the mindset of making “content” and when I'm posting here I don't feel like I have to tailor my posts to be #as easily consumable by as many people as possible #microblogging platforms are fast paced and you're constantly fighting the algorithm #making long text posts is inconvenient and usually not worth the trouble #so I rarely talk about my characters or their lore outside of tumblr #what's nice is that when you ramble about your personal projects and fictional fixations here people tend to be pretty receptive to it #like they Get These Feelings and are able to analyze and read between the lines really well at least if you ask me #on top of that customizing your browsing experience and curating an organized blog is easier #and above everything I love and cherish tumblr's tag culture #very often the best commentary I get comes from tags #answered #anonymous #instagram continues to give me bad vibes and going there has always felt like a chore

I think it would be really funny if rin was the more helpful one around his house. Like u would think rin would be the disrespectful one who always bails on housework or mass but its actually yukio who would always have an excuse not to go or forget about chores to the point that rin just does them instinctively now

#this post lagged my phone so bad i had to save it as a draft and switch it to my computer #god is trying to stop me from spreading my 'yukio is an atheist' ideals #anyway this extends to when they live together and when they are adults to the point that rin comes over and does all the chores for yukio #cuz this created an oroboros since rin always did them as a kid now yukio doesnt have them in his brain #he tries his best tho he would neveradmit (at least in highschool) that hes kind of a boyfailure at housework #rin is a homemaker this is my truth #rin is like kinda resentful but not enough to act on it and its so deep down he doesnt even realize its there #like yeah its kinda fucked up that he would ask yukio for help setting things up for mass or doing the laundry but yukio has a busy scedule #and hes wayy smarter than rin so obviously he shouldnt waste his time on stuff like that but rin would never voice those in a negative way #rin doesnt hate helping his brother tho if yukio asked him to come over and clean his house everyday forever he would probably do it #its just the principal of yukio being a perfect angel and rin not getting any credit cuz hes doing 'thankless jobs'#and yukio kinda feels bad even tho he really did have things to do he just couldnt tell rin cuz it was exorcist work #im just writing fanfiction now #accept my okumura twin fanfiction headcanons #blue exorcist #ao no exorcist #yukio okumura #rin okumura #'blue exorcist' 'ao no exorcist' yukio okumura' 'rin okumura' are my most used tags on tumblr #am i in your hearts yet blue exorcist tumbr?🥺

New Psychiatrist: you always seem to be thinking when you're talking.

Me: ...?

#Sry I have no idea what she meant by this #Or if it was a criticism?#I'm. Just trying to choose the right words to get my meds #And like... New psychs are always pitching the “have you tried not having adhd” solutions #If I could just wake up and do 5 stacked chores every morning before work I probably wouldn't need the drugs #Also hard to explain that although it is 10am I feel as though it is 4am #And your voice coming through the speakerphone sounds like nails on a chalkboard which is probably the phone not you #But please I'm so tired #post o' mine

maizuru and milsiril are my favorite fucked up dungeon meshi mother figures

#dungeon meshi #maizuru #milsiril #my post #both were involved in some kind of highly skilled group (espionage/ninja work and the canaries)#maizuru and milsiril both have some aspect that makes their relationship with their sort of son innately complicated.\#maizuru has been having and affair and milsiril has biases towards short lived races #both dote heavily on them but milsiril does it more clearly in an overprotective way #their sons have complicated emotions towards them. and they’re right for that #lets see… toshiro always eats the food maizuru makes due to the love in its preparation. he doesn’t seem to have a relationship with his mok #*mom #so he was very close to maizuru #but after finding out she and his dad was having an affair he closed off from her. maizuru still heavily dotes on him however #maizuru also invented a spell to scare his child self into returning to her #and trained ninja techniques into him (I believe?)#and milsiril (though she did train him) didn’t like the idea of kabru going into dangerous dungeons #she ended up coddling him in that regard. he doesn’t know how to do household chores (but I doubt toshiro knows either LMAO)#(he probably has servants or maizuru who do it for him)#but in fighting specifically:#milsiril also trained kabru in sword fighting but unlike maizuru’s training it’s not very useful in the dungeon #now back to food:#unlike maizuru’s food the elven foods milsiril gave kabru weren’t as well received #that has to do with the different culture he’s from though #he thinks of his birth mom’s food more and had a stringer relationship with her #*stronger #despite some issues kabru says that he’s grateful for her as his foster mom (iirc)#I imagine toshiro’s probably the same way even if he wouldn’t admit it (BECAUSE MAIZURU IS FUCKING HIS DAD???)#toshiro doesn’t feel close to any of his family so his biggest connections as a kid probably would’ve been maizuru and hien.#kabru has milsiril and rin and all anyone could ever want but would never want to return to #anyways. end of essay. tldr: milfs are messy

silver and espio would both try to be the Protective Boyfriend but they’d never succeed because they’re both trying to be the Protective Boyfriend

silver learns espio is surprisingly afraid of horror movies and is overjoyed because he can finally go full Protective Boyfriend mode without espio trying to do it back

espio is now determined to find something silver’s afraid of that he isn’t so they’ll be even. well specifically something silver’s afraid of that isn’t genuinely traumatic ahaha :,,)

#i feel like it’s like a rule that when i come back here i have to have a new thing to say about these two. like it’s my role lol #but like i AM always thinking about them so like it ain’t a chore but sometimes i don’t have actual coherent Thoughts about them #but i try real hard #silver the hedgehog #espio the chameleon #espilver

I loooooove giving rowdy characters kids lol like “Yes you chaotic little shit, have an even crazier child”. I did the same with Samatoki where he adopted a deaf kid and it’s so much fun

RIGHT??? and like for kuukou, with his brand of daddy issues lol it’s so much making him learn how to NOT be his dad, while also slowly clueing in that holy shit, maybe he was kinda batshit for some of the stuff he did LOL

#vee got an ask #kuukou’s kid has a very unfortunate fight response when he’s scared #and kuukou usually defaults to acting tough whenever he’s frustrated #and it’s always a painful experience for both of them when kuukou accidentally triggers the fight response lol #eventually they learn to live with each but kuukou’s kid loves him very dearly even throughout their period of friction #and by then he’s picked up on all of kuukou’s worst habits like slacking off with chores #and then that fight response becomes ‘let me fight my dad bc i don’t want to do chores either’ LOL #kuukou: *after wrestling with his kid* ……………………….i suddenly feel like i have a lot to apologise for 😓

the moment i actually start writing it i remember that i do in fact enjoy writing and that i am doing this project for fun and then i love every second of it and this is your sign to stop procrastinating on that project. yeah you know the one. yeah that one. the one you've been putting off for weeks. just do it. seriously, this is your hobby it's not a chore and the sooner you stop thinking of it as something you have to do and recognise it as something you want to do it gets a million times better. i promise.

#HEY YOU! YEAH YOU! ITS UR HOBBY BECAUSE YOU. ENJOY. DOING. IT #also!! the moment it starts to feel like a chore you should stop and do something with no pressure attached to it to bring back the joy +#of doing your hobbies. idgaf if its a request or a commission. ur work will be a million times better if you enjoy doing it #you are ALWAYS allowed to take a break if it gets draining and is no longer fun #bc at the end of the day if its not fun then why are you doing it?#luc posts #writing #writing motivation #motivation #writerblr #art #art motivation

hey ho I just noticed that amongst many of your posts you have some pretty nasty things to say about yourself! As a concerned follower I am here to tell you that does you no good whatsoever, and have expierenced where it can lead you to! (Even when said in jest)

As an outside observer I have determined that exactly 0 of your negative statements are true, so don't believe the lies you tell yourself! Change statements like "my art sucks" to "my art is pretty neat!" (Because it is) "....just kill me" to ".... just give me shrimp" (or fav food/object) "I feel awful and lonely" to " I see the sun rise and its beautiful, I feel nice." And "I have more friends than i realise" ( notice something beautiful or do things you like and appreciate them, you'll start to feel better I promise!

Take a moment to slow down and just breathe and observe all the good things around you (go outside if you have to)

Heres a book that talks about changing your inner monologue for the better, "What to say when you talk to yourself" by Shad Helmstetter its definitely worth a read

I love you and sending a crushing bear hug to you! 🫂🫂💙💙💙

Unfortunately yes I have many bad things to say about myself (I am my biggest hater).

I've been around some pretty toxic people in the past (and present, most of them are my relatives, yikes) and I guess it's just easier to say negative things about me rather than hear them say things (behind my back).

I try to do better but when you don't fit into society the way other people do, it's kinda disheartening, makes me wanna give up.

Sometimes I wish I was like everyone else honestly, or have some confidence.

I'll definitely try to check out that book, thanks for the recommendation :)

Many hugs to you too anon 🫂🫂

#I'll say my art is pretty neat when that becomes true #honestly I don't always fit society's 'geed person' archetype so I guess that has settled deep in my bones #I have very low empathy(?) I rarely feel 'bad' for other people. sure I don't want anything bad to happen but I don't start crying when I #hear that someone I don't know died. or someone I know. I don't really cry actually. once or twice per 3 months #I have difficulties with expressing my emotions (and I feel like I don't feel fully. not like other people do)#I'm trying to take moments to appreciate life(?) but even life doesn't always feel real. like a chore you have to power through. most days #surprisingly I go outside almost every day for around an hour to walk. the city I live now has a harbor and I love the sea #there are too many people there tho... I don't like people. they're loud and don't pay attention to their surroundings #the times I've been almost ran over by bikes or cars is surreal #not art #text #ask #anonymous #I didn't mean to make you concerned about me. don't be. there really isn't anything you can do #one of my other negative traits is that I'm extremely stubborn. almost nothing can change my opinion about something #I try to do better but that unfortunately isn't always enough #society has failed me on many levels and it's hard to see the 'bright side' when a literal war is happening #and people you know will hate you for who you are #sometimes I use words like 'disheartening' and I can't remember if the translation I have in mind is for the actual word or something else #I don't mean to sound so depressing I just feel like I might actually jave depression. or autism. or just something wrong

realized this morning while crying in bed that i've needed a break from my life for a long time now and i'm the only member of my family who can't have a proper one so that was a pretty existentially depressing moment

#after that thought hit me i realized that my last vacation was in 2019...which is a lot of years actually #so no wonder i've felt like the water is exactly at my head for quite a while #(and it's probably kind of odd that i still think in west wing quotes--#but that cj line feels more true than any other way i try to describe it to myself)#anyway it's why my original birthday plan was 'a few days alone in a hotel' before i couldn't justify the expense #i ended up having a much more fun birthday than that but i think that's why my instinct was just to get away for a bit #because no amount of noise cancelling headphones and time alone in a house full of chores #can equal an actual vacation. and i got spoiled getting to have them sometimes so now i know what that's like #anyway i'll get over it and continue to push through like i always do...i'm just sick and overwhelmed and frustrated today #so i needed to share #life stuff #whining #sorry to be so complainy today #i needed this stuff out of my head <3
