I hope you don't mind me asking this but I'm confused about something. Did you only do Mario art because it was a popular thing? Because it seemed like you thought a lot about it with headcanons and such
Quite the opposite! I ultimately stopped because my blog had gotten too big for my personal comfort, and also because it was occupying too much space inside my mind. 🥲 I was intensely invested in my personal vision of these characters; so much so that I was putting aside important things to accomodate time and energy for it.
And that wasn't healthy.
The previous communities I was in were very small by comparison. Private discord groups for the most part. I was still very new to sharing art with a broader audience when I joined the Mario fandom, and like I mentioned in my update, the effect that this had on me long-term was sadly far from beneficial.
I've always loved discussing headcanons and other concepts regarding the subjects I'm passionate about! And I still very much do. 🤲 But now I aim to do it in a way that feels more reasonable to me and doesn't obstruct my every day life. 🌱🌤️
#Making fanart for the Mario fandom was a memorable experience to say the least#There have been exhilarating moments of excitement and fun#Others filled with stress and doubt#The more it went the more overwhelming it got#And eventually I had to make a choice#While I certainly don't regret having been a part of this community...#I do regret obstinately creating at a rhythm that was bad for me and keeping at it for so long#But it's part of learning and on some level I feel grateful for that lesson too. ✨#Now I know better#Mario#Fanart and fanwork#Wellbeing#Thoughts and ramblings

when i moved into this flat, i got myself a dark grey fabric 3 seater sofa, thinking that i wanted to have a sofa big enough for me to comfortably nap/cuddle with the pup and use on meh pain/fatigue days.
things i didn't take into consideration when i bought it:
dark grey really is a shite colour when your pup is white/fawn
fabric is shite when your pup has short hair that embeds everywhere
... esp when you do not have the spoons to regularly vacuum said sofa (or at all really)
having a sofa in the lounge is all well and good, but i need to have the spoon to get there and stay there for any length of time (spoiler: i don't)
a 3 seater is really long and i don't really have a good place to put it without it being in the way, one way or another
where it is now, it means that when the pup comes back from the garden, he straight away jumps on it with his dirty paws... see above re cleaning
the sofa is now exclusively the floki pup's and i'm pretty sure even if i get it professionally deep cleaned, it's unredeemable.
i do not have the budget (nor really the desire either tbh) to get it deep cleaned, so it needs to get removed. however, it came flatpacked from ikea, and in it's built state, does not go through my doors, so need to get some help to get it back into its disassembled state before it can go.
needless to say, it's gonna stay here for a while longer.
in any case, now i know that the next time i buy a resting place for the lounge it will be:
an armchair! (they do those 1.5 seaters that would fit both me and the pup comfortably even if it means i can't lie down)
leather! really. my previous sofa was leather and it was great, but my flatmate got it from the curbside, i just kept it because sofas are expensive, and didn't buy something similar when i moved because leather sofas are doubly so.
will get a large fabric ottoman/footrest to use as the floki pup's jump on and do as he wills so i don't have to bend down when i put/remove his harness and dry his paws etc without worrying about the state of my sofa
#kit's#diary#i really did not think through the buying of this sofa#now i know better#i hate this sofa#if you're wondering why i didn't keep the old leather sofa#there was a reason it was on the curbside in the first place#and since between that flat and this one#i was homeless#and my stuff needed to go into storage#it wasn't worth it to keep it

I don't say this lightly, but to get better at writing you have to get more comfortable with rereading your own work. It's, unfortunately, obvious when someone won't reread their work to check for flow or mistakes. It's not cringey, it's your work, it's from you, it's great! It could be even better! Just. Read it. Please.
#greye talks#i used to not be able to face my own stuff#and it suffered for it#now i know better#but its part of growth#its part of artistic learning#to face the cringe and tell it it has no power over you anymore

Maybe gender is like a cult--a community with its own beliefs, signs, rituals, and costuming to which each member subscribes to different degrees.
And some people, inducted at birth, never realize they are in a cult and never question it.
Some, question, but do not see how they could ever leave (even if they wish to).
Some realize they are in a cult, but realize also they are happy with their placement.
Some are loose in their affiliation, but still consider themselves members, others love every sign and costume, but don't consider themselves members most of the time or at all.
Some are weird about it and get really into the beliefs and everything to the point they condemn anyone who isn't as hardline as they are as not really belonging.
And some people leave, either for another cult or for none at all.
#cis thoughts on gender#very happy in the cult i was inducted into at birth#even if i don't always ascribe to every ritual of it#once upon a time i feared i'd get kicked out because of that#now i know better#gender

So we finished 'The Last of Us' last night.
I was really hopeful that it wasn't going to be yet another zombie show, mostly because there's been a saturation zombie related properties over the last 15-ish years.
But instead...
Fuck.
Yeah, this is a show about exploring who we are in dire circumstances. What truths we tell ourselves and others, and what lies we tell.
When everything is broken, who are we? When we are broken, what will we do? What are our motivations? What, if anything, do we owe each other? What does survival look like for each person?
#the last of us#i never played the game#mostly because i thought it was largely horror with a decent narrative#now i know better

Thanks OP i needed this
I think it should take longer to make tv shows and movies. I think shooting days should be shorter. I think AD's lives should be longer. I think we shouldn't have to be in a goddamn rush all the time. I think we should have the time it takes to make good art. I think fans should wait even longer than they do and be happy that everyone who made the art is getting full nights of sleep.
#yall have NO IDEA how much i abused my body just to write my own fic. i would sleep at 2 in the morning#and get up early for work the next day even if i was sleep deprived as all fuck#like i was constantly tired and sleepy and irritable#all to submit a chapter within a few months#life was bleak and the only fucking thing i looked forward to was writing#i neglected my fucking family just to write a wholeass goddamn chapter#now i know better#i know not to write while working on the clock bcs its a recipe for disaster#since the quality of my work plummets to the gutter and I NEED THIS JOB#so no it is NOT worth it to sacrifice ur health just to submit that goddamn chapter#allow yourself to take months#allow yourself to take YEARS to submit just one chapter#but i am begging you#please live your life#do not let your life revolve around your writing#bcs life is still moving forwards for your loved ones#do not neglect them bcs every moment is precious#in fifty fucking years u will think “god i wish i spent more time w them” bcs u spent all that time writing on a fic#all im saying is#pls dont neglect ur health and ur loved ones just to do ur hobbies#the backlash is motherfucking MASSIVE#author's log#the mortifying ordeal of being known log

Well I like it but it’s not very well written. Also it’s a visual mess. The plot doesnt make any sense and the creators suck and its politics oscillate from mildly problematic to frankly baffling. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. However. the character
#warlock wartalks#too many to name..goodbye world#now that this is getting notes I would like to officially state I was thinking abt Torchwood and several comic properties when making this#also great cities which yall know is close to my heart but I have an entirely different set of issues w its politics#mostly that nkj can do better

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.
#katniss everdeen#the hunger games trilogy#the hunger games#primrose everdeen#hunger games#batcavescolony reads the hunger games#suzanne collins#'now it seems i have become someone precious' NOW? GIRL BFFR you're their hunter girl#and this isn't negative just bffr girl#your WHOLE DISTRICT did the three finger salute that you yourself says means admiration thanks and goodbye to someone you love and on top is#old a rarely used. your WHOLE DISTRICT decided in that moment that they needed to bring back this sign of respect for YOU#...................................................................#idk why some people are thinking i mean this as negative i don't she is unreliable but its not intentional. like when Peeta heart stoped in#CF she doesn't know what Finnick is doing at first cus she doesn't know off the top of her head what cpr is. she also thinks Peeta after the#reaping is acting for the cameras. he isnt we dind out later his mom basically told him Katniss was gonna win and he would die. obviously#shes not doing it on purpose shes just for lack of better words uneducated? as in she doesn't know everything shes not omnipotent#so when Plutarch (? second games guy) shows her his mokingjay hiden watch shes like *wtf that's weird?* then the people traveling to#district 13 show her the mockingjay cookie and explains it and she then goes on the difference between his watch and their cookie#and why does eveyone act as if district 12 is as bad as the capital? they CANT help Katniss and Prim in the way you want. they cant give#them food. none of them have any! and im not putting iton Katniss but they hid they needed food so they could stay together. it sounds like#some of you are in this our world mentally of what people do after a loved one dies (brings food constantly checks on them etc) district 12#cant do that. they dont have food and they're all suffering. you cant give someone food when you have none to give. then theirs the fact#that peeta DID help. Peeta buring the bread and tossing some to her then taking a beating from his mom is a HUGE thing in the books.#he used his resources to help her like you all said someone should.#district 12 DID (rip) care about Katniss before the hunger games. why do you think she was allowed to hunt? or how her trades were good#these are the little ways 12 can shows Katniss they love her. but again Katniss doesn't see this and YES its because she had ptsd before the#hunger games as well. i swear some of you make it seem like d12 was all living a life of luxury and glaring down at Katniss.#other things that show Katniss is in hight standing with at least her people of d12 is her dad was known enough through d12 for peeta dad to#comment on his singing along with his commenting on her mom. also her mom is a healer in the community. yeah her parents arnt the top but#of d12 but they are/were definitely high staning in the Seam.

when i was a kid i wanted to be a famous youtuber like dan and phil so that people would gay ship me with my irl best friend and we would be sooo weirded out by it and laugh and make videos joking about it but secretly it would make her realize her repressed gay crush on me and i'd help her through her gay crisis and then we would have a sickeningly sweet sappy romance and read fanfiction about ourselves together... anyways just found out she's married to a guy in the mafia now so i probably don't have a chance
#dan and phil fanfiction changed me#come into my lady door#and teen me saw that and went “i need to be that so fuckan bad”#i wanted to be dan but now that im a mature adult i understand that phil is better. phil guy 5ever nowadays#do i tag this as dan and phil. i still dont know tumblr site tagging norms and im like a year in now#dan and phil#dnp#phan

Based off of this and this. Thank you very much joetastic for being inspirational 👍
The REAL reason this is late
