Learning to celebrate the little wins!
#fersona#While I don't have the capacity to do Hourly Comics Day#I did journal my day hour-by-hour and the sheer difference in my self-care and routines is *staggering*.#Honestly both Feb 1 2024 and 2025 were rough days...but this year I had a far better outlook on it all.#The funny part is that when I drew this a few days ago I actually *was* celebrating not crying.#Might have still cried on Feb 1st. A meagre 4 times. But I also had lot of good moments!#January is a very hard month for me and frankly I've been in a fugue state for most of it.#Drawing helped me pull through these last 2 years but this year I've been finding myself so upset at how I can't seem to focus anymore.#So updates and posts have been slow. I'm just slow. I'm tired and burnt out from work and grieving.#But you know what? The days I do manage to post; I'm never shamed for how long it took. You're all just as excited and kind.#I'm coming home and eating better and sleeping more and spending time with loved ones.#This is all to say; you can be a lot happier when you realize that life can be taken a little slower.#I'm more grateful that words can possibly convey.#If you related to the mindset of constantly feeling like you've 'failed' the day; please know you have done more than you realize.#I'm struggling with it everyday! I'm in the trenches with you!#Life is too short and painful to not celebrate what you *do* accomplish! It's hard work but it is worth it!#Bit by bit...we will learn to live. *Really* live. And enjoy it!

Dear mod. I just wanted to ask how you're doing atm? Are you eating good food and sleeping well?
Oh bless you, anon! Regrettably, neither of those things, no. My appetite has been very poor since my surgery, and I'm more than a little sleep deprived with all the jobs I'm juggling at the moment - buuut... I'm alive. My head is good. My work is good. Always manage to make everyone happy, oh, yes sir, but can't wait to pass out for a whole day and then hang out with some friends. It'll heal me.

"You know," Eddie said, dropping his bag on the floor by the entryway, "When you said you wanted my help with getting things packed up for moving, I really wasn't expecting a repeat of when I came over to help Maddie move as a probie."
Buck looked up from his laptop, confused, before glancing around at his mostly unpacked loft in realisation.
"I promise I'm not springing a surprise Carla on you this time," he replied, and Eddie laughed as he walked across to Buck before greeting him with a kiss.
"I'd be surprised if you'd managed that given she's spending the day with Chris," he said, before knocking Buck's shoulder affectionately. "But seriously, man, have you even gotten started?"
"I've packed a couple of boxes!" He argued, gesturing around. "I just… got distracted."
"What are you researching this time?" Eddie asked, glancing at Buck's screen before pausing when he registered what was on it.
"Uh, yeah," Buck said, flushing slightly. "Not research for once."
Up on his screen was a photo of him and Chris, wearing matching beaming smiles and stripes of sunscreen.
"I don't think I've seen this photo before," Eddie said, sitting himself next to Buck on the couch, knees knocking.
"I refound that phone that went missing a few years back. When I lost like three months of photos because I hadn't been keeping up to date on backups and wasn't paying for cloud storage yet."
"And this was on there?"
Buck nodded, resting his head on Eddie's shoulder before flicking across to the next photo.
"It's from one of the days where we went back to the pier," he explained, flicking faster now. "I just… It still surprises me, sometimes, how much he's changed over the years. How grown up he seems now."
"He's still got a lot of growing left to do," Eddie pointed out, reaching across and stilling Buck's hand on a photo of the three of them laughing at a Grant-Nash family barbecue. "And he'll always be our kid, even when he's an adult."
"He's been ours a lot longer than I realised at the time," Buck admitted, lacing their fingers together and squeezing. "That's part of what I've been looking at. How much of a family we've been through the years."
He turned to face Eddie more, bringing Eddie's hand to his lips and kissing it gently.
"I can't wait to make it official."

thought abt how toji is such a light sleeper and i.. sleep though just about all of my alarms aka........... he is my alarm clock now. he wakes up after the first one and then wakes me up himself:((((((((( and he's soooo extra sweet in the early mornings ouughhh my poor poor heart he really is like a cat he just noses at my cheek and presses gentle gentle kisses all over my face until i wake up. knows i take a long time so he does let me take my time but he just stays in bed with me to make sure i won't actually fall back asleep.
and . he doesn't go back to sleep after that either. he will keep me company no matter whether he has work/errands to do. we wash up and drink our coffee and then he drives me to work too:(((((((((((((((((

barely in time for dunmeshi thursday - the shopify is finally live!!
there are posters (not pictured) and mugs and totes, and shirts from toddler sizes all the way up to 5x!! there are also other shirt colors than white, i just don't like them as much so i didn't bother screencapping; see for yourself in the listings
some of the designs are single-sided prints and others are double-sided to spread the art out more
there's also a bonus design inspired by episode 21 which you can preview under the cut >:3
Tumblr media
there is only one color for this shirt. that's all you need for it.
THEY LET HIM MILK THE MINOTAUR!!!

wish i had it in me to be a lot meaner about people having pets they shouldn't... but unfortunately there are too many people out there that will defend unethical pets until their dying breath, and they tend to get pretty vitriolic about it. it never leads to logical debate, just ends in personal attacks and venom because you're 'ruining their life' by telling them maybe they shouldn't have a pet tiger.
...but maybe that's part of the point, trying to swamp anyone that dares defend an animal until they're forced to back down. i shouldn't let that fear stop me from trying to protect animals in any way i can. even if it's simply through making more people aware of how awful these pets are.

I need everyone to look at this commission I got from SweetMikan3 over on VGen. I'm never gonna emotionally recover from how good this is. I normally wouldn't repost comms, but the artist doesn't have a tumblr or traditionally post their own comm'd work, so I wanted to give it some eyes here 💚💚💚 Oh my god PLEASE go commission them with the link provided, they're amazing to work with and their prices are criminally low. Give them a big fat tip (called a Boost on VGen) when they're done or I'm gonna blow you up with my mind 😤😤😤

Been thinking about idw1's outliers lately, and how sort of wild the whole concept is from a worldbuilding standpoint, and it struck me that most confirmed outlier abilities tend to be really useful, or flashy, or powerfully dangerous, and few to none tend to be like, really boring, or totally impractical, or even entirely useless? Which, doesn't really make sense when considering the fact that outlier abilities are seemingly random.
Surely not everyone who's born an outlier gets something useful?
And I don't mean like, "good" useful, but any sort of useful, even if that means you can kill people with your voice, or give a power boost by exploding yourself, those are still "useful".
But surely there had to be some with abilities that were totally impractical, or nonbeneficial, or at the very least just insignificant or purely aesthetic and pointless?
#mods. enhancements. and artificial outlier abilities are a different thing. with plenty of room for error and drawbacks#but being born inherently an outlier by the sheer whim of. idfk. primus or the planet itself. what's the chances there???#this definitely has to have been discussed before. i'm just too lazy to dig for it rn. but yeah. its a fascinating concept either way#idw transformers#tf idw1#mtmte#lost light#maccadam#maybe thundercracker's sonic booms count. but those have some use. also its funky. so he gets a pass i think#i had more thoughts about this earlier when i first jotted the thought down. but ive forgotten them now >:/#basically its just funny to think of like. shockwaves school and all. going around like ''what can you do?''#and you've got the group we see in the flashback. and then like. some guy whos like ''...i can change the color of energon''#or like. ''i can float! but only like... three inches off the ground''#i cant think of every example. but go down a list of useless superpowers and there ya go#omg. wait. if rewinds whole color changing deal was legitimately a outlier thing. i guess he would count#also. in a similar vein. its really funny to think of outlier abilities as like. stats and stuff? plus 1 to so and so but negative 1 to etc#so abilities had a sort of cost. this is smth ive seen here and there in fics and stuff. and its great.#but its sorta funny to think of working in the opposite way too#take misfire as an example. bcs its funny. negative boost to aiming. but positive boost to evasion#less of a chance to hit smth. but also less of a chance to be hit by smth#idk lol. sorry. ive been doing a lot of gaming lately bcs ✨️stress✨️. so ive got a lot of dumb stats rolling around in my head lmao#also its 4am. so... coherence has long gone to bed before me lol#struggling to sleep again tonight. but more so for anxiety reasons. all these federal job changes are hitting very close to home rn#it'll probably be fine tho. probably. got a lot of other personal shit to worry about anyways. like my fucking medical files being tossed?!#tricare when i get you. when i fucking grt you omg. i didnt even serve. why am i suffering omfg#sorry... thats off-topic. so its probably best i uh. put myself to bed. at 4am. so. goodnight and good morning 🥲👍#tf idw#tf worldbuilding

#ok finally making a post about meds#I've not ever tried taking medication before. I was sorta raised with that classic 'dont rely on meds you have to learn to manage without'#I mean I was also raised with the idea that therapy is stupid unless you have 'real' trauma. and also like idk.#can't stay home from school unless your temp is over 100 or you're throwing up. etc. very suck it up mindset#so I was just really nervous to start. also of course worried about losing myself or whatever I know that's a silly fear but#it's also a common fear for a reason!!! anyways#so I finally was like 'I need to do something' when I realized I was so anxious I couldnt even get myself to go outside alone#like I just don't want to do ANYTHING alone to a detrimental effect. and it was butting into my ability to do my work...#for various reasons. but then ALSO adhd has been a constant issue with my work as well!#it is SO hard to write and draw on a weekly pace like I am without being able to focus#my whole life I've had these terrible nightmares constantly and I've always woken up constantly in the night#sleep has always been terrible so I've always dreaded going to bed.. ESPECIALLy because it didnt even make me less tired#it was more something that I just did because I had to.#but going to bed was always terrible. there have been times I was too scared to go to sleep for weeks on end...#I've been mitigating this for years of course. and recently I've been taking melatonin which has been helping too.#but I've also always struggled to get up. because I've always been EXTREMELY exhausted#but also anxious of what the day might bring... idk.#anyways it has all hit a point that I was like okay. I am doing as many coping mechanisms as I can. the psych said they were good too#but... it just has never been enough. it's never been enough to make me not tired it's never been enough to make me not scared#so I finally talked to the doc about it. and she was like youve def got smth wrong basically. which yah I know.. but yknow#anyways so I started taking wellbutrin. and I am so frustrated now. because it's WORKING#that constant looming sense of dread is gone. I'm excited to get up. I'm excited to go to bed BECAUSE I'm excited to get up#I feel like for years I've been holding on to the idea that I have to get up because I have to put something good out into the world#and I've been clinging to knowing that if nothing else. I am able to help other people feel better.#but now for the first time in my life I'm like. free of it. I didnt even know it was possible... and I'm so sad how much I've lost out on#and so frustrated how my whole life I've been told to put up with it and push through it. and treated like a failure for it being too much.#and just. It has only been 2 weeks. but the lack of anxiety is SO noticeable I'm so...#I'll never miss it. the adhd is still pretty present but like whatever. I can manage that better.#and I'm just crying because of all this combined.#I just. I hope I get to finally be the best I can be now. for myself but also for you guys!

Vaguely thinking of doing another drabble challenge but with a spin: instead of my usual 'one word prompt paired with a character or ship' it would be 'name a fandom and I will write a WoT crossover for it'.
Making absurd WoT crossovers was my preferred hobby once upon a time. I've even joked with my friends that the highest honor I can confer to a piece of a media is to come with an insane WoT Crossover idea. Maybe going back to my roots will unstick whatever in my brain that doesn't want to come loose and let me create these days.
