one of my favorite things in fantasy and sci fi is when the setting of the work is in some ways absolutely better than our current setup which makes you go "god i wish i lived in this world" but as the story progresses you realize that the setting is also shittier than our current world in another, highly specific way that then makes you have to go "well maybe i can deal with this if it means not having to work to survive" or something similar

#sye's babbles #my current project ive been working on is like #in the setting magic can be used to infinitely produce and destroy any physical resource #so there's no food/water/shelter/medical scarcity driving up prices #BUT #since the internet and tv and shit is still a thing #and since the economy is driven by labor instead of scarcity #that means that the social media panopticon and celebrity culture is so much fuckign worse there than it is in our world #people's lives are commodified for social media and fame CONSTANTLY #it is INESCAPABLE #you can instantly generate yourself a whole meal at the press of a button!#you can get absolutely free healthcare!#you can pay very little to get access to shelter!#but gods fucking help you if you want some fucking privacy

i have never been as good at art as i would like to be. however i have decided to stop being embarrassed about this. the only way to get better at art is to do art! so im going to do my best to 1. draw more and 2. post it on here

#i want to create for the sheer joy of it like i did when i was a teenager!#that quote like the time will pass anyway has been resonating with me lately #i wanna do projects that are creative output direct from my brain #since most of the creative projects ive been doing in recent years have been transformative of existing works like recording podfic #which i LOVE to do!!!#but i want to practice other skills as well #tldr im gonna DO ART #no matter my current level of skill #said el

My friends, idk how, but im gonna figure out a way to share my final presentation with you guys for a class after I finish it. Because I'll be damned if I'm gonna be this passionate about this thing, do all the research, make a ppt AND cardboard tri-fold, and present this at a "Research Symposium" for 2 hours to whoever stops at my booth during finals week to not share with the people I like most 😤

Basically for the project we have to take a person or event and give background on them before analyzing them through a Social Psychology lense (bc the class is social psychology lol). AND GODS DO I LOVE SHIT LIKE THISSSSS. I will not be sharing what event I chose for two reason: 1) I want ya'll to read and learn about it through my post when I post it 😌 and 2) It's a REALLY obscure event from what I've gathered (like I barely have 5 sources for references and one's ONLY in german) and I doubt many would know what I was talking about.

#Ive literally been working on it all night basically (and have little to show but aesthetics)#BUT! I did get all my photos i currently have and their captions put in too!!#I just need to fill in the slides with their info #im literally chopping at the bit to show you guys bc im so fucking into this project #i love being a psych major 🥰🥰🥰#I have been this excited about something in AWHILEEEEERE #I can wait to look through social psych theories and ideas and figure out which im gonna hold up for anlaysis #we are just at the stage of turning in the first part which is just the who. what. when. where. why.#the how (which will be the theories) will be next part to turn in #but god am i invested and ferally upset about this story #ok i need to go to bed now so that i can finish this project tomorrow so i can turn it in :)#ill rb this a few times to gauge interest but besties im 100% posting it no matter how the poll turns out #im just too pumped and i want to SHARE with people who know and like me (i mean i think yall like me lol)#social psychology #college final project

Thinks abt comic Siffrin. This could be a playground I think. If I felt like it. If I so chose.

#rat rambles #stars posting #I do also just enjoy the concept of other siffrins that existed before loop as well #either just the one extra or potentially even more if you wanna get funky with it #Im leaning more towards the one option but the many option is more funny #idk I just think it'd be a bit fucked up if there was another siffrin who made a desperate wish and just got completely whiped for it #bonus points if that sifs version of things was quite drastically different than loop and current sifs versions were #like a whole different party than the other two #thatd be fun #I do enjoy myself some timeline fuckery that leads to disturbing implications and several layers of tragedy #I already have three stories with that as a major element so it was only a matter of time before I look at isat through the same lense #the lace loop meetup would go crazy (theyd probably hate eachother)#speaking of lace I dont think Ive actually been like. posting abt her story huh.#well just know that Ive been working on that story a lot along with a billion other projects that have been keeping me busy #isat is actually the reason Ive been working on lace's story again since the two have a decently large amount in common #still very different stories like fundimentally but timeloop that takes place near the end of an rpg esc adventure is present in both #although the timeloop that lace is in is no longer the main focus of the entire story #well it hasnt been in a long time but Ive been actually fleshing out what the story is actually act more recently #and I keep going back to isat to get back into a creative mood anytime I feel like Im stagnating too much #which brings us back to the actual point of this post. yay.#anyways I need to go to bed even if Im half tempted to try to write smth with my current 3rd sif idea

Casually flirting with the idea of fucking around and getting a master's degree. The time will pass anyway, right?

#lynx thinks #oh nooooooooooooooooo #nooooo i can feel the urge to be crazy and act on my hubris #ive just been talking to the grad students in the theater program and theyre taking like 9 credits a semester #and its all stuff that seems interesting or fun or at the very least useful unlike my undergrad degree #and im like... i can already sew as well as if not better than these grad students. i can for sure draw better for any designs i come up w #heck i can draw better than the current head costume designer faculty member for the university #so the little overcommitting gremlin in my brain is like ''yoi could totally do it. do it.''#and the other part of me is like ''im already so tired just from working again after needing to recover from burnout. how would i even?#so I'm sitting here Thinking about it...#a masters degree in theater might be better for finding work at a pre-existing institution than just a bachelors in art #and it might be better than a masters in art too #I'd have to stop taking commissions completely probably if i did it for the sake if time #but if i somehow got an assistantship position? then maybe?? i could do it?#oooooooh i hrm so hard y'all #its only been a week since moving and ao much is still in boxes. im only working part time but I'm tired now so much #idk if its just because my stamina levels have atrophied or what but im so. tired. these days #and by these days i mean in the last week.#maybe a week isn't long enough of a sample to work from.#im hoping my energy levels will even out a bit but with the time zone change and the fact that I'm almost 30 I'm not sure if it will?#so thats worrying #i actually kind of see why people seem to drink coffee every day now #I've definitely been eating a lot more normally since i started. both in timing and quantity #i still have projects of my own to work on i cant afford to be so eepy orz

How much am I allowed to post/ramble about the solarpunk zombie apocalypse story I'm working on before it gets annoying.

Bonus points: I haven't actually gotten to the solarpunk part of it.

#out of queue #ani rambles #Ani's Solarpunk Zombie Story #yes there's a tag now im preparing for the inevitable future where i go off on some wildass tangent #ive been working on this shit since like. 2022 i think. and i still only just wrote the end of the first night last week #its one of those 'im stuck on everything else so maybe i can do this' project #and usually when im stuck on everything else im stuck on that too #but yknow what? fuck if I didn't write some paragraphs on it last week so now my braincell's all like #OOH! can they have electricity in a post-apocalyptic solarpunk society? should there be a stream near the community for current generation?#but wait! what would they use electricity for? but wait! can you do viral research without electricity? how'd they do it in the past?#when was electricity invented? were they doing viral research before that? they had to be right but were they? but wait #does the society work as envisioned in my briancell without electricity? what if candlelight? candlelight could be fun! but would it besafe #wildly off topic but waste! what do they do with waste? did they make a wetland system to deal with the waste? but then all the pipes would #need to go to this wastewater system! if they didn't already in the buildings they repurposed then there'd have to be work to reroute them!#would it be more reasonable for everyone to have composting toilets? how do you make composting toilets in the apocalypse???#is there just a team of people every day who get paid to make the rounds and take away waste buckets every night? but where to?#what's their PPE like? is there PPE in the apocalypse? there has to be right! but how? what from? like my guy has PPE #because Briar worked for a research facility before it got overrun #but how did THEY work? did The NEST have electricity? leathermakers? where'd they get food from? vials? materials? supplies?#god its a lot to think about #on the one hand i can take the 'its sci fi dont think about it too hard' but on the other hand it has to feel REALISTIC #or else I'm a BAD AUTHOR who's CRINGE and NOT POG and am doing BAD SOLARPUNKING

cons of going to a “good schoolTM”: insane workload, unbearable classmates, next to no support when you have any kind of extenuating circumstances Including literal hospitalization, etc

pros of going to a “good schoolTM”: the 9-5 lifestyle is genuinely a major improvement

#taylor.txt #the extenuating circumstances point was not me btw. i know someone who had his degree delayed an entire year because of two weeks in psych #we’re in a co-op program or else maybe it wouldve just been one semester but. lol #i hate it here…i hate it #but hey…at least i have the world’s shittiest health insurance!#some of my classmates say they dont feel like working full-time is easier than going to school full-time but it so is #for me. anyway. even when i fumbled my time management bad on the field and make no mistake i was incredibly busy plus i chose a field #notorious for Unpaid Overtime and Taking Your Work Home. even then. it was still easier than this #i would never do undergrad again. i loved everything i learned. i took interesting and awesome classes #but i would never ever do it again. miserable overworked spent most of it friendless until i got on the field #i have a friend who keeps being like idk how you did 4 physics classes this sem and im like girl we are education students…thats an average #semester for a physics major. how must THEY feel #also i have to say just you know. generally. ive worked full-time while living with my parents #AND while living alone. and 50 hours a week was incredibly manageable in the former arrangement. i even wrote and edited an entire novel #in the beginning stages of a pandemic while working 50 hours a week of retail and fast food hell. 40 hours full-time with weekends off #while living alone though? thats hard. i still managed to go to the gym almost every day #currently? i cant get out of bed in the morning. i am putting in 12 hour days and then goinng to bed unable to sleep because im so stressed #i have dreams about school. tangentially theres a really good marxist poem i read last year about this phenomenon in workers #ANYWAY. i have just 8 more days 4 exams 1 research paper and video project #i think i can pass and then thats it. my next semester is hell but just because scheduling the actual classes will be easy #and then i get to go back on the field and actually want to wake up every day. lol #and 8 days from now i will have my christmas shopping done and my apartment will be clean and i will be a fanfic writing machine #also my friends and i booked a demolition room so im sure that will be beneficial kfldjfldndks

i think a tmnt reverse bang could be so fun.. we have a bigger proportion of AUs being introduced through a visual medium than most other fandoms i’ve been in. this is def not a commitment since i don’t have any modding experience, but it’s something i’ve been thinking about for a while. im not aware of any other bangs/minibangs happening in the fandom so.. food for thought

#tmnt #i’m thinking about taking a break from fanzine work in april once all my current projects are done #maybe i’ll take that time to learn more about modding #i’m so spoiled by aa fandom so every time i get into something else i’m like ‘but where are the zines :(‘#i’m just spitballing here but like. tmnt fandom is one of the most creative communities ive ever been in i just think it’d be neat #frogs.txt

god i have so much work to do for my sculpture assignment and all i wanna do is play sims

#i am surprised at how much im enjoying 3d art class — its really reinvigorated my creativity #ive been more inspired than i have in a long time #and im excited to work on projects and bring my ideas to life #but also i wanna game hfhfjf #i also have design class assignments to do ugh and i hate that glass #im just too advanced in graphic design that these freshman level design classes are not doing it for me #like i knowwwww this shit already im not being challenged its not fun #i think the reason i like 3d so much is bc its challenging for me like sculpture was not a medium i engaged much with before #my current project is actually gonna incorporate some crochet which is awesome

I always get the urge to post on tumblr when I'm feeling crazy. Most of the time, it's from lack of sleep.

#hi ive been hit with the urge to post. wonder why (sarcastic)#also im currently in a dnd campaign run by Geeky and its my favorite thing ever rn and i really wanna talk about it #i have a little bunny boy fighter named Hopkins and hes such a little problem child i really need to tone him down vshdsjsb #and he has 2 equally chaotic dads who im also rotating around in my head. their names are Genji and Toby and i love love love them #Genji is a wizard and Toby is an artificer #i think its funny how theyre both spell casters when i made Hopkins explicitly Not a spell caster vshssjssk #they all travel around Geekys beautiful homebrew world doing all this history work because theyre big nerds #and i guess Genji and Toby managed to die? question mark? idk theyre at like magic heaven. or hell idk #at least that's what's implied. and i think thats cool #ask me more about my bunny family please #OH MY GOD I JUST HAD THE BEST IDEA #i could customize calico critters to by my little bunny family 🥺#i have to put that on my long growing list of projects i want to do eventually #first i have to get through septictober. then i'll do my silly little ideas #i should post my art of my little bunny family sometime too

imagining a character takes up knitting or crocheting to deal with Stuff™️ is something that can be sooo personal

#Willys No.1 projection tactic since 2014 <3 #like hello angry little man youre going to make a scarf or socks and call down a little it works i swear #genuinely an insane amount of tweets from 2014+ where i decided every character i loved HAD to take up a hobby and honestly i was so right #you are normal and well adjusted but me and my plethora of angry men have scarves and yarn so whos the winner here huh #anyway projecting on my angry guy of the year rn boy we are gonna get you some DPNS immedietly #he gets sock knitting bc thats what im currently doing thats how this works #is it really obvious i miss tweeting my everythough and having people to talk to by how active ive been lately?

fanfic update: i am bored with nanowrimo and probably wont be really actively trying to write every day. i have like. 2-3 things left to write and im still gonna try to get it done before the end of the month, and count that as a win if i can do it

(2 of those should be pretty short and one might be. quite long. or it might not if i manage to actually make a montage that doesnt feel SUPER awkward and unnatural)

but i copy-pasted everything ive written so far this month into my actual Scrivener document and we did it!!! we officially broke 100k!!! current wordcount is 103,146 words. wowie!!! thats so many words. thats so many more words than anyone needs to read. and yet. here we all are.

anyway i wanted to take a break from just working on writing so i could work in the art project i have been picking at for ages

#i had a cool idea months ago but i didnt have the skills to really do it #so i have been taking workshops on doing the art i wanted to do for this piece #and like. some of them havent been super useful for this in particular #but were fun for me anyway #because i love workshops and learning new stuff #honestly when i say ive been taking workshops FOR this project thats kind of an overstatement #im taking them because i like them. but its easier to get motivated when i have an intended purpose for the things im learning #i want to post about my art project BUT 1. i dont wanna get the satisfaction of sharing it until its actually done #gotta ration that dopamine #and 2. the current draft that i have is like. idk its ok but i dont think itll impress anyone in its current state #and i dont wanna give you all a bad first impression of my work

apologies are hard and can be embarassing

but life is too short to let your grandma go to bed sad

#it wasnt a big bad deal #but i didnt listen and projected my guilt #i wanted to be angry and annoyed #but whats the point #is it really that important to feel right when youre actually wrong #to feel mighty bc youre less emotional than another person #its hard to swallow that pride and to admit you were wrong #but you never know if this moment is the last with that person #and putting in that perspective it makes it easy to say youre sorry #i sometimes forget this #something i learned very young after fighting with my mom and upon reflection realized i was wrong the whole time #ive always had this ability since then to swallow my pride almost immediately and jump straight to fixing what i did wrong #but then long story short i lost that ability when i learned the word 'no' for myself #i stopped paying attention and focused on only me #and sometimes i forget that this is not who i want to be. i forget to work on myself #im glad that i made myself apologize and im glad that i made sure i didnt apologize weakly #none of that 'im sorry you feel that way'#but id like to work on avoiding this all together. and thats hard for me. because it requires me to be aware like i used to #which for me is PTSD related. but i dont want to be on my deathbed recalling all the pointless times i doubled down #taking up time that could have been happy #people say its easy to be kind and it is but sometimes when youre guilty it feels good to give into your frustrations and get defensive #again nothing bad happened. i just told her i wanted to do the dishes. she was currently washing some and because of guilt #of my perception of what shes able to do i doubled down on me doing them instead of her even though she assured me she was able #i thought she was lying to me and she got upset. no yelling just not allowing her to do what little shes able #and not trusting her at her word. to be fair she does lie and will admit that she has- when doing things when i feel sick #even when i tell her that id rather choose what im able to do instead of her assuming. which is exactly what i did #me being a hypocrit. so yeah. not a great feeling on multiple levels of this scenario #but truly i need to remember to focus on what matters and that is just taking someones word for it while making sure they know they can #freely tell their feelings. meaning if shes doing the dishes and she says shes fine. let it be. and make sure she absolutely knows that when #i say im fine that i too am telling the truth
