I feel insane whenever people I still follow from my old art school will post shit about how many problems it has, and then they're like >:( "change needs to happen now!!!!" And they're still. Going to that school. Like y'all know the best thing you can do is to drop out/transfer right... and not promote the school and try to get others to go. Maybe I'm stupid but like 🧍♂️ this institution only has power over you because it's making money off of your dream of being in the arts when almost no art(s) job is worth a damn if they care more about your degree than your actual skillset... anyways that's me being serious for 5 seconds, back to being silly.
#screaming into a paper bag#say whatever you want about it being hard to drop out bc of debt (im american) and bc a lot of the#ppl ik from there are juniors now but like#you cannot be serious#im sorry but i dropped out after one year bc they raised the tuition up TEN PERCENT#which i didnt think was a lot until i realized id have to take out thousands in loands bc my scholarships#wouldnt even cover the cost anymore#every department at the school had hugeeee problems but holy shit#the illustration major was so bad#both illustration and animation tbh#no barrier for entry bc portfolios were OPTIONAL#AND NOT MANDATORY#LIKE THEY SHOULD BE FOR AN#ART SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!#and i dont wanna be like that but a lot of the students werent very good at art BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY#didnt even wanna improve or take critique from peers or professors!!#everyone there thought they were gonna be the one to make it when a majority of them bitched and moaned about deadlines#very. reasonable. deadlines.#'i have other classes' 'i have a life' i had to commute an hour. i had a soul draining job in the second half of my year there.#and i still was consistently one of the first people to finish assignments#WITH TIME STILL TO WORK ON PERSONAL PROJECTS!!#and i really hate being super mean to people who are trying but a lot of them werent :/ and it really didnt show#people were turning in unfinished work so often that one of my professors constantly had to change the guidelines to include#UNFINISHED WORK!!!#and i absolutely worked my fucking ass off#just to have to drop out after a year because im POOR#CAUSE IM FUCKING POOR!!!

to all the sports “writers” mad that sharks winning the lottery proves that “tanking works,” i regret to inform you that this team actually tried very hard to win every game. they just suck.
#to me tanking is only bad if the team is intentionally throwing games or messing with injury timelines to lose games and such#a team selling their good players for picks is not bad its literally how the deadline is supposed to function#if you take all these stupid suggestions of playing to win first overall would only ensure that bad teams are bad for a VERY long time#if you want to incentivize poor performing teams to at least try to be competitive at the end of the season then introduce relegation#esp given then way this league for some reason seems hell bent on expanding to like 36 teams#but anyway. what do you want? some team HAS to be number 32 there’s no way around it and given the continual expansion of the league#there are less and less ‘star’ players to go around#it is quite likely some teams just will not have one!#anyway. invent some thought provoking critique please!

I made an animatic of my favorite scene from Rise of Kyoshi.
I clearly got more confident as time went on, and there is plenty I would like to have done better, but I'd rather take that knowledge with me into the next project instead of toiling over this one forever.
For a bit of context (spoilers for a four year old book?), they're on an iceberg surrounded by water. At this point in the book, Kyoshi is only known to be an earthbender, so she's seemingly helpless, but ends up ripping earth all the way from the seafloor to stop pirates from kidnapping Yun, the boy who is believed to be the current Avatar.
#avatar#atla#kyoshi#animation#i also took some creative liberties with details#ie the telescope man#also the book says that kyoshi “slams her feet into the crowding bridge stance.”#i could only find one reference image for what crowding bridge looks like and it was not a very interesting pose for this purpose#i gave myself a deadline of like 10 days to do this and i think that's the only reason it got done#because with everything else i tend to get stuck trying to make things perfect and never finish#so i suppose self imposed pressure and short deadlines is how i need to handle myself more often#also the fact that when i started this project i found out that young kyoshi and tagaka have canon designs thanks to avatar generations#so#endlessly grateful for that

I was surprised when I first heard people say the first Lord Peter Wimsey novels were too caricaturesque, because I don't remember a time I felt more identified with a character that when Lord Peter gets so focused, worried, and disturbed by his discovery of the nature of the crime in "Whose Body?" that he goes on a full blown PTSD attack. And then he is so very tired. And needs several days of rest to recover. But he's talking it in the exasperated philosophy of "going on a stupid little walk for my stupid mental health". Extremely relatable to me, whatever that says about my mental health state.
#like I had a bit of a crisis a few days ago and had to go to the polyclinic to get a sedative#(I am drinking sleepytime tea every day and having a very controlled intake of caffeine anyways)#and I absolutely knew this was going to happen with the stress of thesis writing and meeting deadlines#my brain interprets any stress tension as immediate severe danger#and it starts looking for causes and oh my doesn't it have a repertoire of apocalyptic scenarios both domestic and cataclysmic#And I manage it most of the time#but the balance act itself is tiresome#And as real as the panic feels every single time in its reasons#and as hard as I have to struggle to convince myself it's just my brain reacting in pathological ways#I'm so tired and so tired of it making me tired#but we plod on#through the cycle of#what happened to me when I was a teen was indeed traumatic and part of it remains unprocessed#and it wasn't traumatic and you are just a forking wuss#Anyways if nobody gets my my man Lord Peter gets me

the next chapter of dearly beloathed has reached 6.6k and not done yet. everyone is monologing or liveblogging. save me 2010s energetic pop
fun fact: the story originally wasn't going to reach this point in the timeline. i was thinking of ending it at bale's revival as a cliffhanger bc i had only tentatively plotted what happens next but was having too much fun lol. i started writing this like "yipppeee funny social media haha rpf" and now in typical ya fashion they're overthrowing the government yipppee 🔥
#i would never be able to write this if it was prose. or even half prose tbh#funny how the last chapter is called the endless night. this is MY endless night#for a story about two speedsters they sure aren't speedrunning this shit 😭#december 822 to june 827...... 4.5 years in-universe....#I WILL FINISH THIS VERY SOON. I HAVE A DEADLINE FOR A SPECIFIC (and predictable) REASON#ria.txt#dearly beloathed#personal

I think the readers overall were not keen on that final chapter but that's okay it was my first go at the 'epilogue with a baby' structure and I may have made it overly twee or something (or maybe even not twee enough, idk) and so I shall not do it next time I write a multichapter (assuming there is a next time which is something I argue with myself about because Oh So Conflicted). But either way I don't need to write any more of that fic as it is done now. Hurrah!
#on one hand people seem overall more willing to comment on an ongoing work BUT#on the other if a oneshot utterly sinks you don't need to write more of it after that it's just done and you've already moved on.#the continual fear of 'what if they hate this chapter?' was not very fun nor was feeling like i owed people regular updates#which kind of felt like i'd given myself homework and well there's a reason i dropped out of that languages course a few years back.#(the reason was Deadlines and Stress and I should probably do my best not to impose those things on myself in a hobby.)#Make Self Write The Entire Thing Before Posting (more of) It seemed to help but then you have to sit on finished chapters which felt weird?#just because i'm not used to doing that and have no patience generally so i failed to stick to any sort of posting schedule.#i kind of like having a longer thing ongoing while writing oneshots as well but yeah probably i should retire from posting unfinished works#so i learned something from all of this and from doing the same thing last year!#felt insecure might delete later

Sooo it looks like I might need even longer to end the current hiatus, I suddenly got invited to go to one more film festival, this time a Turkish one. And they are very kindly taking care of everything. I don't know what I did to deserve this. What is even happening.
What a rollercoaster of a winter.
#all this travel is noot great for my master studies project#and other responsibilities#causing difficulties with uni deadlines#i hope that can resolve okay once i'm back#im going there next monday#the festival is golden baklava student film festival btw#the festival team is extremely kind and i look forward to meet them#i hope i will be a good guest in their eyes#update#nonart#travelling used to be very difficult for me for quite a while now for a range of reasons so i just wasnt doing it#and now this year this winter with the festival stuff one after another#is a big change and utterly mind boggling thing for me#none of this is any normal for me

>be me
>confused on a part of the university enrolling procedures
>send an email to the uni guy
>"don't worry about it, if you even get in we'll take care of it"
>Get in (fucking fourth out of 300+ people, shit yourself email guy), problem is still the fuck there
>Call the number on the website
>They keep me on hold for ten minutes and hang up
>there is a fucking deadline after which you can't enroll
>im going to kill someone

ID: A splash image featuring several colorful cyclops characters, each divided by geometric gutters - forming a tall diamond shape in the middle with two divides on each side for a total of seven frames. Each panel features a single character and is rendered in pseudo-monochromatic colors to represent each character as a different color within a rainbow. End ID.
big ol splash image time.... i made this back in march and boy did my blood and sweat and tears go into getting this thing done on a tight ass deadline!!!! a very emotional grind it took to get this thing done but im still very happy with it :)
#froxart#froxposting#visible spectrum#illustration#described#Oh boy here come the character tags#vs butterscotch#vs cinnamon#vs cookie#vs mandy#vs marshal#vs minnie#vs smith crispin#Bytight deadline#i mean that i started this on the night before i had to send things to get printed#so i ummmm#stayed up all night to finish it (and succeeded in doing so)#and went to sleep at a Very Super Reasonable 11am#had to skip class that day bc i was not about to go to a 6 hour class on 0 sleep. sorry bill ilu#Worth it though it looked sick as a big ass print and im glad to actually have a big showy image for everyone LMFAO#small compositional detail is that each of the frames is 'viewed' from Cinnamon's perspective :) so kind of at least a lil bit in context o#what they'd see#or something like that#i was gonna say not including the middle. but its supposed to be a mirror so. Yes including the middle#also as of drafting this a version of this is my desktop background so i can look at my guys whenever i look at my desktop YAYY

my coworkers did a lil "most likely to-" segment for our end of semester meeting and i got "most likely to write a book".... like ankle-deep in editing and rewriting my first draft of the silver spade rn, i guess i can't refute that
#alli says shit#i'm not beating off the allegations#tho i was laughing at one of the reasons being 'very good with deadlines' like i promise u that is a recent development#i admire the confidence but i am still a mess

#head instructor to the TAs in the lab section i TA for: how r u guys feeling abt the workload?#me who hasnt graded anything since week 1 and spent an hr that morning filling out a patient safety plan: 🙃#listen. we r experiencing symptoms that make us shitty at our job. which is not helpful for a positive outlook#i was also experiencing horrible cramps at the time bc i lost my ibuprofen and 2 days ago i stopped the birth control in a desperate effort#to stop feeling terrible. but in this moment i feel alright. its wild to go from drastically unhappy to like lol wtf was that? anyway stop#being a bby loser. for no obvious reason. im gonna start the birth control again to see if i get depressed again or if that was just me lol#i dont think my therapist understands the depth of my executive functioning issues tho. bc im a grad student and can meet deadlines. like#let me tell u im a fucking disaster abt starting things. i will go back and forth and get nothing done forever. or i do things halfway and#make everything 30 times more difficult later bc no one else understands how my brain works#ah well. itll b fine. sometimes i just get freaked out that i wanna b better and i dont kno how to do that. so i spiral in despair a lil#ill b fine. im good at catching myself before i get too out of control. annoyingly tho i am not currently beating the bip0lar allagations#bc whatever tf is wrong with me i do probably fit the diagnostic criteria for bip0lar 2. i dont kno y that freaks me out so much. i guess#its bc it feels like something i cant just make better thru force of will and i grew up in a home that was very obsessively#health conscious to the point my dad gets anxious abt taking a single ibuprofen. so like ive been conditioned to get freaked out by#medication. literally my grandma will call me and tell me to b suspicious of doctors and to not take medicine unless absolutely necessary.#like lady u r the genetic reason i have 0cd shut the fuck up. also it feels like something that would more negatively affect how ppl think#of u than saying oh yea i get depressed or i have anxiety. like the connotation feels worse im used to just telling ppl whatever tf#my problem is. so the idea of holding something back feels weird. which annoys me bc i dont think there should b so much of a stigma. its#bullshit. anyway idk. im tired. i was trying to think of a comfort tv show with my therapist and all i could think was the terror#when im depressed i wanna watch those English mother fuckers suffer and die. i just lov that show so much. harry g00dsir my beloved. the#most me coded character to ever exist#unrelated

the fun of having put out the "bj's moustache is gay culture" post while also headcanoning first and foremost that whatever bj is, it's not actually gay but something way funnier and more fucked up
#what im saying is that hawkeye is sometimes bj's wife but not in a gay way#it's the opposite in a way of how frank burns desires hawkeye carnally and is so mad about it being really gay#and that hawkeye is queer in a gender and a sexuality way that means he can slide into whatever mold someone else desires#and margaret is a transmasc who will give herself that crew cut when she's in her 60s#and everyone will mistake her for a lesbian but actually she's gay for men#but hawkeye can be a girl for her if he wants#bj and frank both represent the lie of the american dream but in different ways#(that is they both went to war on a promise about smthinsmthin american duty masculinity etc)#but while I'm absolutely on the frank is gay choo choo train#idk with bj it just seems a bit boring as a read to end it there imo#especially as it's generally agreed upon that his character was so broadly written#i prefer to play in that broadness personally but hey if u wanna tag that post as gay bj i get where that comes from#ilke yeah for sure the moustache is gay culture - 70s gay culture#also tbh to get serious for a sec it was very weird getting into the mash fandom while this whole thing was going on#and i think it kept me from getting totally into it from the first jump - lot of judgement on headcanons#lot of *this is all of fandoms opinion on xy thing and if you say something different you're wrong*#lot of treating headcanons and meta as serious discussion pieces rather than just... engaging with a piece of fiction#(this not about analysing outdated elements of the show am talking the character and not-so-serious meta)#all of this to say: pls dont be weird on this post they're called headcanons for a reason#it's 2pm and i am pulling an all-nighter to hit a deadline#we're feeling fragile gents

How it feels watching people complain about animated projects looking 'lifeless' and 'stiff' knowing damn well they've never had any deadline animation assignments in school because it humbles your existence when it comes to art and animation
#if y'all had any idea how short deadlines are and how much you need to do in that time you wouldn't be complaining#especially in professional settings#indie projects are one thing and usually are excusable for very obvious reasons#but bigger corporations want less animators yet more animation done in a shorter amount of time because it costs less money#less detailed animation means more profit and can mean an animator gets to actually finish their work in time
