Glad those have passed for now, and you're back to drawing without the pain, dope you did three drawings too! You absolutely cooked this week
Bro, it's been a brutal couple of weeks, but a friend surprising me with Helldivers 2 out of nowhere is doing the heavy lifting to restoring the vibes for now. Hope you have a solid weekend eh, see you next week or somethingβοΈπ
alt text: It's been a long week. Rest here, weary traveller. You deserve it. (below is a video of Zale, Valere, and Garl from the video game Sea of Stars, sitting around a campfire at night atop a grassy cliffside overlooking a canyon, relaxing and cooking together)
It's been a long week. Rest here, weary traveller. You deserve it.
Thanks, I legit appreciate that. Good vibes your way too eh. Think for now I'm going to go away for a bit and chill or something.
Morning! Good vibes your way eh
100%, currently taking applications for a Samπ
Morning, Kel! It's been awful I can't lieπtrying to offset the rancid vibes. Hope yours has been good though eh, good vibes your way!
i think i need some kind of exorcism
Same on all fronts there
Same, it hits me like a bolt of lightning, shocking my weary bones into writing it allπ

"damn bro, you seem depressed lately" sorry bro, it's the depression
for real, someone stick me in a dark cave somewhereππ
I'd also (hopefully) wake up to the endings of One Piece and Berserk, so that'd be cool
hibernating through the next 8 years just might fix me
I hope they have an escape... but also... so so sorry
(through gritted teeth) my life is good and iβm doing really well
Somewhere between βI write to hopefully give people an escape from the horrors of realityβ and βlmao here's all my trauma, but in book form, enjoyyyyy!β
Do what you gotta do to cope during these timesπ
I guess you could say... we're... fried I'll see myself out
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
The dangerous game of getting too comfy, and the mind wandering giving us dope ideas

"How do your story ideas come to you?" How they come to me:
I feel this in my bones, and at the time, I think it's so damn clear and obvious what I mean, then in revisions, I have no idea what the hell I was up toπ
There's always a secret one lurking about waiting to pry out attention away
Get that whole crime detective vibe going with the red strings, maybe even a scribbled over whiteboard (that's all I've got right now) The madness consumes usπ
Thanks that legit means a lot, I appreciate itπ
let's goooo, good luckπ₯
I'm getting close to sharing more than randomly vague snippets! Almost have all my beta reader feedback to go through, then I need to figure out what to do with it, still deciding between querying or self-pubbing, I still need to weigh the options and just decide alreadyπ
The ideas and random plots know no boundsπ
Glad I'm not the only one who feels this absolute word salad I spewed out hereπ
finished writing one, so now I'm currently juggling in confusion, as a treat
When I say I'm juggling writing multiple books at the same time, I really mean I'm trying to connect the middle parts of one, have another minimized so I don't feel bad about pausing it for now, and daydreaming about a stack of vague compelling vibes that I haven't figured out what to do with yet
I may be unable to move right now... but I have no regrets
source? i heard it in the trees
So far, it's working (knocks on wood, petrified I just challenged/taunted them)
... I may need to double down and have something like that for dinner because that sounds so good I remember trying an egg on my burger for the first time and it was an enlightening experienceππ€
I can feel my health bar replenishing as the temperature drops and the air crisps
Testing just how far I can push myself, for science, like a shounen training arc
Hash. Eggs. Bacon. Bagels. Long ago, the four elements of breakfast lived together in harmony.
bad vibes could never hope to penetrate the divine protection of hash browns
I need to offload some of these or I'll explode, please take at least three and save me from myself
I've sent my pigeons out to make the rounds
Fending off the morning horrors by erecting a divine barrier of air frying way too many hash browns
They nailed it, that dark looming mystery, real stakes, easy to get emotionally invested, and a sense of adventure. So peakππ€
damn it not again
Someday, the day of prophecy will arriveπ
It's brutal when this happens... like right now I'm starting to feel it but I just want to wind down and sleepπ
It's the ultimate "do what you want and chill" game for me, the story is actually solid too and I enjoyed it for about 25-30hours before going off on my own
There's so much new stuff it's wild! The world variety is great too, I mostly just explore so I've noticed that big time
Monster Hunter World came in clutch and threw me a lifeline, ever since, it's been my favourite escape, and now with Wilds.
βOur kite will fly up and up,β said Frog. βIt will fly all the way up to the top of the sky.β
No Man's Sky is so cathartic for me, jsut bumming around, jumping from galaxy to galaxy, forever in search of my perfect world to settle down on
The galaxies, they call to me
LAST DAY! Get these great deals before theyβre gone! ππ indiebook.sale
Doing the heaviest of lifting for usπ
"We all live in a Pokemon world" restores the vibes for me every single time without fail
We're all out here passing around the shared brain cell
Validπ
it's free and does wondersπ
Do what you gotta do to protect your peace broπ
Well wishes your way broπ
Starting my adventure with my trusty Grimer and travelling the Pokemon world would 100% fix me

You don't need to "be on" all the time. No one can do that. It's way easier said than done to not pressure yourself, I'm guilty as hell of that. I get it. This is probably mostly jsut rambling word salad, but yeah man, just give yourself some grace right now I guess if you can. Your best is enough.
Write, draw, be creative, take breaks, I don't know, do whatever the hell you've got to do to cope, bro. Keep the things that give you joy close and spread them around. Shit sucks right now. I have no idea when it won't suck so much. But whatever you're doing to get by right now is valid.
10/10 would recommend blasting friends with lore when they least expect it
Good vibes your way ehπ
Exodia... OBLITERATE! (splashing a deluge of lore and world building in a blast of light)
You never miss with these designsπ₯π₯
I always have one trap card laid face down that activates a chain of lore aimed directly at your life points the moment you bring up anything even vaguely related to my characters
Good gawd this hits closeπ
You're way braver than I am, godspeedπ«‘
I think it's time for a rewatchπ
I feel this in my bones, and fall for this trap way too often, starting a wholeass new project when I just need to tie the current one togetherπ
Well wishes your way in the meantimeπ
We have no control over the stars (I groan, while repositioning the creative constellations to my liking)
Staying perfectly still so as to not trigger an injury, and now this is our life, this is the frozen form we take
can confirmπ
I've reached "about to go out for a run" levels of procrastination today (it usually works for me though)
I feel like I just chugged 8 estus flasks
100% and holding on to that fact that I had a ton of fun writing it so it's worth it either way
Me: I'm in the mood to write, TO BE CREATIVE! Friend: Then do it. Me: Stars. Can't do it. Not today.
For real, it's tough not sinking into imposter syndrome, I've been pretty bad with that lately, but things like this really help so much Lots to work on still, but damn I appreciate the feedback so much
