how it feels to have the afternoon free to draw characters having nightmares

[service4cops]

Ah yes, training day, or as the boys like to call it "service day", as it's the day they can do anything and have anything, on demand, and for as long as they like.

And yes, they do make you work harder.

Immersive Alex Update

Alex's marriage dialogue is about 2/3 done, then I have the Good Morning event lines to write, and we're nearly there!

I'll be drawing his listing image this weekend... Urgh... *teeth clenched* we can do this, it will be fine! (art is hard!!!)

Shooting for Jan 31 release barring any sudden hangups ~

Note: Dusty will be included in events on release (with a custom sprite), he will not be at the farm just yet, he might be part of the future Spouse Buildings mod

Nothing annoys me more lately than "Going to the gym isn't a personality" like yes??? it is???

People talk about the things they care about, that they spend time on, that they put effort into. That includes their bodies?

I work with a lot of athletes. Like more than your typical amount. And they will happily debate protein powders, tell you they're doing a new training regimen, talk about Lat Pulls like having opinions on them is something obviously I have as well. Going to the gym is exciting for them- they tell me they hit a new personal best bench press, or are trying to hit a specific weight class, or are working on knee strength after their surgery. They compare times they threw up or got too dizzy.

The same way when I talk to MTG players they tell me about their new EDH deck, or talk about that one wombo combo they pulled in Draft, or this asshole at FNM. It's all just nuts and bolts for a thing they care about. I don't know much of anything about Knitting but a lot of my friends do, and I would NEVER tell them that "Knitting isn't a personality" just because I personally find it boring or whatever. Because I would be an asshole.

Going to the gym is a ~personality~, it's just not one you want to talk about. You don't care about machine vs. free weights. You don't want to know how long they spent working out this morning. Frankly, you want them to do the work at the gym and not give you a peek behind the curtain. You want people to look good, look fit, look how you want to, but not talk about how much work and effort it takes to do so. Working out to you is a chore, and an unpleasant one at that, so you'd rather they not remind you of it.

But exercising your body shouldn't be a chore, it should be something you enjoy- your favorite rock climbing place, the dance class you and your friends take, etc. These people LIKE going to the gym. They would gladly tell you about it. And if for some reason you are talking to someone who works out religiously but hates every second of it- first of all, yikes, buddy you don't have to live that way- but second of all, that person will not talk to you about the gym. They will talk to you about what they are actually passionate about.

You don't have to enjoy their hobby! You can think the gym is boring, or exercise isn't interesting. But like. say that. The gym can be a personality. Anything can be a personality.

I have a LOT to do this week, things I'm both scared of and stressed about. So I know I'll be tempted to neglect spending time moving my body, which is the opposite of what I need. With this selection, I'm focusing on giving myself space to move and love my body.

In case the suggestion doesn’t feel right for that day, here are some alternatives (12 minutes or less, can also be used as add-ons). No shame in taking it slow! Let’s move according to our needs! :) nightime flexibility stretches // bedtime yoga stretch to release stress & tension // 8 min beginner’s ballet flexibility. // 10 min | Beginner Belly Dance Workout | Slow & Smooth Tutorial // 15 min Gentle Pilates Workout For Beginners // lazy girl full body workout [7 mins]

ella i am mega curiosity cat (and stalker of tags) what are your first and second languages ??

I support the curiosity cat behavior. my first language is English but I'm a Spanish Language Major! so that is my second. I'm proficient enough to hold decent conversations in Spanish. this past semester I took a 400 level Latin American theater class and at one point I had to give a solo 30 min analysis presentation about a play from 1980s Chile (for anyone who is interested it's called El retablo de Yumbel and it's sad but it's also soooo good, highly recommend. you must be in the mood to read about the effects of dictatorships though) so speeches in English don't even phase me that much anymore. like yeah sure I have to give a speech in my comm class but at least I don't have to worry about consciously conjugating!!! really reduces English speaking anxiety let me tell ya
