finished my last final yesterday, so it’s all smooth sailing from here on to January! excited to kick back, hang out with some friends, and try to enjoy the holidays. also happy i finally have time to game- been looking at baldurs gate and slay the spire, but i didn’t want that kind of distraction during my term :)

i was under the impression it had to do with something like “dying” of embarrassment but i’m not really sure

to preface this, i just want to say i don’t have any mental illnesses or disorders or anything, and so, if you do, this might not help at all. this is just my own perspective on life.

i’ve never personally been very caught up in the whole our lives are meaningless, we are only a minor blip in time, nothing matters in the end, we are tiny and inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, etc. i think i used to care somewhat, but i sort of just realized at some point that, even if we don’t matter “overall”, that doesn’t mean our lives don’t matter at all.

it doesn’t particularly matter to me that one day i’ll be dead and forgotten, because, well, i’m not dead and forgotten right now. right now i’m alive and experiencing things and have people who care about me. why should it matter that, in 100 years or so, i’ll be dead? why should that take away from the very real life/experiences/memories i have right now?

same idea with size/scale related thoughts. we are tiny on a cosmic scale, our lives don’t matter because of how inconsequential they are, etc. but like… the only thing i have is my life and experiences. why should it matter to me what’s important on a “cosmic scale”? if it’s not concerned with me, i quite frankly don’t see why it should concern me either.

cute :)

this looks really good, especially the feet- those are actually so hard to pull off right :) what was the experiment if i might ask

thanks! it’s just a black denim jacket i thrifted and have been “upgrading” in a way haha. sewing pockets on the inside, making and putting on some handmade patches for bands i like, embroidering on it, that kind of thing :) nothing on the back though quite yet

pretty good so far! have a couple hangouts scheduled with friends, some important paperwork to do that i’ve been slacking on, and a camping trip this weekend! also i’m pretty excited for all that. and i’ve been getting some time to work on my jacket project, which makes me very happy.

i feel you, i burn way easy. last time i even applied sunscreen and didn’t even go swimming or anything :/ no clue if i just have to remember to reapply it or what, but it’s a total pain haha. hope you’re feeling better soon!

oh no :( i hope you get better soon, that sounds terrible to deal with!

though not as home oriented as most posters here, i have a denim jacket i’ve been working on for the past couple months. have been making and sewing my own patches on, and am currently looking at dyeing the sleeves, though i’ve been procrastinating from that a bit ;)

i’d like for this too. i know a lot of people in general have pretty eclectic music tastes, but i only really like a couple genres, and would rather just be able to only listen to new music from those genres if possible

Mythic Greek World Rescue Fierce Barbarian Serial Killer Eager Apprentice Androids

trying to find a way to work all these components together (especially the androids) is an interesting thought process, though i think having them be divinely powered is what i’m leaning towards. like, no one knows how they work, and so they kind of revere them.

for the rescue plot, i think the eager apprentice sounds like the right one to need rescuing. too eager, not careful enough maybe. captured by serial killer i suppose, who could be an android for extra funsies, and the barbarian main character gets to go save them. probably all while realizing/coming to terms with the fact that they actually DO like the apprentices company and miss them, despite finding them very annoying in the beginning.

i think it’s a cool idea and gets you to stretch some creative muscles with connecting some unrelated ideas and imagining what a story involving these elements might be like :)

picking something that’s cool but hard to draw is so real haha, no worries!

okay, nuclear powered space dragon is hands down one of the coolest sounding things i’ve ever heard. do you have any pics? i’d love to see :3

awww okay i love this. been thinking about 4 arms also just because they’re cool but does that make drawing them a pita?

damn, this is so whimsical and i love it. i wish i had an experience like this to help me lol, but i’ll probably just go with a cat since i’ve always liked them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

love that. i’ll probably be picking a basic cat (though maybe with some fun other species traits) just because i’ve always liked them too

same! i’m thinking probably just some kind of basic domestic cat, though maybe something bigger, just because i’ve pretty much always liked cats. i don’t find myself particularly relating to to their stereotypes though, which makes me a little hesitant, but it really shouldn’t matter should it.

Probably never gonna get around to it, knowing myself.

honestly though 😭 i completely relate. i’ve been “thinking” about this for like 3 years at this point hahaha

a robot? like a protogen or something animal shaped? i’m just imagining a microwave atm 💀

seeing a concert tonight, which i’m very excited about!
