I'm sorry, Vox has a therapist? Even if they see each other as infrequently as he says, my god is that fascinating. What a thankless job!

Vox has... a couples therapist that he and Val visit once every few years when they get into a fight big enough that Velvette refuses to fucking deal with them, at which point they hire some poor sap who can't rightfully say much to the two angry overlords screaming in his face about how the other one is definitely a piece of shit and in the wrong.

(Privately, the therapist must also acknowledge that they're both in the right about the other one being a piece of shit.)

here’s the thing. i’ve gotten in my own head. i feel like my fic ideas are too ambitious/bold for my skill level, specifically looking at writing sexy things. like i feel like if it’s gonna be weird conceptually it’s gotta be solid structurally, you know? but the little bit of smut i wrote like three(?) years ago makes me cringe (because i wrote it, and also i know it’s not totally amazing objectively, even though i published those short blurbs with the intent of revisiting/rewriting/expanding upon them at a later date) (also i’ll be so real, there’s not much irl inspo i can draw upon, if that wasn’t blatantly obvious) and i’m down to be self-indulgent and experimental but i also want to be proud of what i’ve written and hnnnnnnnnnngggggggg

I think this is as far as I'm going to go with this drawing, going to use Waver for more drawing practice in the future!

I like this pose too, but that body bend was unsurprisingly a challenge. And no matter what, Simon has to do that little dainty thing with his hand (I told you I am not hallucinating, also it's cute).

Art again! Finally-

Hiii, I'm finally posting some more art since I've been practicing using watercolor today, and I actually have the motive to post + free time!

This isn't that good since it's just practice + I was experimenting, but I'm happy enough with it! Lemme tell you, I was fighting for my life with the coloring/shading 💀

I also have this random sketch I made while waiting for my watercolor layers to dry! It was mostly just very brief anatomy practice, and I have no idea who this is supposed to be, but he was definitely inspired by Temuera Morrison lmfao. I've also started painting this sketch with watercolor, so I'll probably post the finished product soon!

The Subtle Art of Finding Joy in the Mundane

In the dizzying whirlwind of our modern lives, with its notifications, deadlines, and endless to-do lists, it's easy to overlook the little things. Our quest for big achievements, exotic vacations, and grand celebrations often overshadows the understated moments that make up our daily lives. Yet, there's a profound beauty and solace in the mundane, waiting to be discovered.

The Magic of Morning Rituals

Consider the simple act of brewing your morning coffee or tea. The aromatic scent that wafts through your kitchen, the warmth of the mug against your palms, and that first invigorating sip – it's a ritual that beckons a new day, filled with possibilities. It's not just about the caffeine kick, but the quiet moments we grant ourselves before the day's chaos ensues.

Nature's Everyday Theater

Look out of your window. Even if you're in the heart of a bustling city, nature is putting on a daily show. The radiant hues of a sunrise, the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze, or even the rhythmic patter of rain against the windowpane. These are nature's gentle reminders of its cyclic rhythm, urging us to pause and sync our own rhythms with the world around us.

The Joy of Daily Tasks

Believe it or not, there's a meditative quality in mundane chores. The rhythmic act of washing dishes, the soft hum of a vacuum cleaner, or the therapeutic act of decluttering can be grounding experiences. They tether us to the present moment, offering a break from the incessant noise in our heads.

Conversations and Connections

Everyday joy is also about connections. A brief chat with a neighbor, a spontaneous phone call to a friend, or even the simple act of greeting your local grocery store cashier can forge bonds. It's in these fleeting interactions that we find a shared human experience.

Rediscovering Your Space

Sometimes, joy is about rediscovery. Re-read a favorite book, revisit old photographs, or rearrange your furniture. Familiar spaces and objects can offer new perspectives and insights when looked at with fresh eyes.

Wrapping Up

The art of finding joy in the mundane is essentially about shifting our perspective. It's about appreciating life's quiet moments and finding depth in simplicity. It's recognizing that while milestones and grand celebrations are significant, there's immeasurable joy to be found in the spaces in between.

In the words of novelist Alice Walker, "Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise." Life's everyday surprises, no matter how small, are the threads that weave the beautiful tapestry of our existence. So, let's cherish them.

I finished this sketch today as a method of forgetting how much i suck at driving 😂💀

[thedragonscratch]

I’m incredibly rusty drawing guts but this was more a copic test on my new sketchbook than anything. Song gave me a couple ideas but I went with classic intestines. Don’t really draw edgy art anymore but I miss it and want to get better at gore stuff tbh.

i saw a post on ig that said meditation doesn't help everyone and to stop suggesting it as one size fits all thing. which is a rly interesting perspective i've never heard of before. but then they talked abt meditation as if it was just abt sitting with your thoughts and clearing them away. then op even said in the comments they prefer to move around to be actively present in their body. isn't that a kind of mindfulness?

the stereotype of meditation is thinking abt nothing. how can you think abt nothing? what is the point of that? from what i understand it is abt being aware of your own aliveness and the life around you. how can that not be for everyone? i understand it is extremely hard but how can it be pointless to even try?

i couldn't understand that post. maybe they meant literally sitting around doing nothing but thinking, but mindfulness can be practiced in so many different ways which op even had one as an example "alternative"
