Sorry I've mostly vanished for the past few weeks lol. Things have been crazy.
Rant about problems kinda
Spoiler*Lets out really long sigh* I had a pretty awful week last week. It was absolutely exhausting and I couldn't do anything and I was sick and it was just all around blech. But I did get some solid character/story ideas, so yay! Also learned some stuff about drawing so I can draw gooder which is really helpful.
So this may sound like a bad thing, or like something I shouldn't think is good, but I think it's something good. At least something that's potentially helpful. I most likely have bipolar 2, almost absolutely certainly some sort of sleep disorder that's some weird form of insomnia (I've tried so many times to fix my sleep schedule so i get enough sleep an wake up on time and it never works no matter what I do). I did some research about those things cuz it's kind been on my mind for a while and I have all of the symptoms which leads me to believe that I do have those. I'm not gonna say for sure until I talk to a doctor, but all signs point to the affirmative. It sounds bad, but it's a huge relief for me to think that there might be a reason that I'm having such a hard time doing things most people would be able to do with relative ease other than I'm just a lazy nobody who doesn't bother to do what he needs to. It feels very validating to me that there's a reason why I struggle with basic tasks like waking up on time.
In the words of twenty one pilots: "Our brains are sick but that's okay!" -Fake you out
I was rewatching ninjago, (don't judge okay! It's a good show and I have very good nostalgic memories of it and I wanted to see if it holds up(it does)) and I realized how awesome the costume design is. It's awesome enough just as it is in the show as just 2D patterns on the characters, but I started thinking about how it would look if it were actual people wearing the ninja outfits and they just look so freaking cool in my head and I need to draw them sometime. I also forgot how good that soundtrack is.
Anyway, there's some words! Hope you all have a great day!

Having a Bad Day?: Get 'yer Hugs here!!
Wittles replied to Curious Anamaximder's topic in General Discussion
First of all, not completely insane. At best only a smidge insane. Second of all, it might be a problem, but the first step to fixing that problem is acknowledging that there is one, which can honestly be really hard, so you're already doing good. Just try to take it one day at a time. Try to go just one or two days less every week, or month and you'll have it under control. You've totally got this. *hugs* -
is this a matpat reference?

I'm still kind of skeptical. It looks awesome, yes, but I don't know if you can do the story justice...
To quote my dad, "you can't improve on perfection."
Based on the trailer, it seems like they're following the episode structure of the original show pretty closely, and that worries me, because I feel like the show would do better if it forged it's own path rather than trying to replace the original.

A;lskdjf;asgasdh This looks so chaotic and fun, but I can't really do it. I don't have enough time to roleplay which is really sad.

I almost can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I've found a band that I love about as much as Twenty-One Pilots. My favorite song is no longer a TOP song which feels kind of traitorous, but it's okay because the song just...hits SO HARD. Just about every time I listen to it I get so emotional and it has legitimately helped me look for hope in an otherwise hopeless time for me and it also has a very strong religious undertone which is never explicitly stated, but it is a powerful one.
The song in question is Creature, and the band is Half-Alive. I'm so thankful that there's people who felt compelled to write such a beautiful song. It has seriously helped me so much with the lyrics. Idk if you people will get the same thing out of it, but it is a very spiritual song to me and I wanted to share it.
Life has been kind of sucky, (not gonna lie, it's been a lot more than just a little sucky) and I've been starting to lose my grip on sanity and kind of just really close to the edge of what I can endure physically and mentally lately. My parents have not been very supportive of me as of late and I've been trying so hard to do better, and to be better. I really am improving too. Not as fast as my they'd like, so it's really hard to see myself as anything other than my lowest, so it's especially hard when all of the things I had convinced myself that I was because of an awful injury are expressed by someone else without them even knowing how much it hurts. So l've been really trying to separate what I want and what other people want from me and trying to learn to seek validation and feel success without relying on my parents to tell me what I should be feeling. I haven't had much success though.
The marching band banquet was yesterday. (for people who might not get what that is, it's basically a nice send off/party thing for the end of the season where everyone just kind of hangs out and get their lettering certificates and things for doing good in marching band) Last year I didn't letter, which makes sense. This time last year was a really awful point in my life, and I'm not surprised I didn't. It feels really rewarding to be able to get a Letterman's jacket; it feels like a very physical trophy of how much I've progressed since last year, and it's really helpful and I'm actually not feeling bad about myself, I'm a bit hesitant to say it for some reason, but I feel very proud of myself.
Long winded Majora's Mask reference:
SpoilerSpoilerIn the game you loop through the same three days countless times trying to beat the different dungeons and it can get frustrating because sometimes you'll make a big breakthrough, but you didn't get the fast travel point so you have to go back and do a bunch of puzzles and things and it gets really frustrating sometimes. But over time you learn. You figure out how to do things faster. You see what to do and you can reach the next place and then it's possible to keep progressing. Then you get to the Great Bay Temple. It's a huge challenge to get past it, and it is easy to fail and reset and still have no clue what to do. It's easy to give up for a bit because it's just that frustrating. You can get stuck and stop playing for a bit. But if you keep going you can eventually make it past it. You keep going. As you progress, the beauty of the world and its characters starts to be much more apparent and despite the impending doom and an atmosphere of subtle horror, there is beauty to be found in the darkness. Not despite it, but because it allows you to see the contrast and appreciate it so much more. The final challenge you no longer have to reset, but it is the most challenging of them all. But it's easier to push through to the end where a new day awaits because you know even in darkness there is beauty, so the beauty beyond the darkness can only be better than imagined.
metaphor and allusion and symbolism ahead that may or may not make sense
If you don't want to read a rambling analogy about Majora's Mask, I basically said it can feel discouraging when it seems that everything you're working towards slips away when you fail, but that's not true, you know better and can go farther to a place further than before and where you can start from again, and as you experience roadblocks, you repeat again and again, you start to see beauty in the small things despite whatever cloud may hang over everything, and it gives hope and a new motivation to push through to a new day past the dark to a new day of hope.
I'm feeling really good today and I really wanted to share that with someone. I've run out of things I wanna say. I hope you people have a good day, and I wish you all strength and courage to get through whatever challenge you may have currently.

YO THIS IS SO COOL!!! You've got some serious skill, this is so cool even though it's not fully done, I can't wait to see the finished product! -
I am both not doing homework nor watching the news. I try to stay away from the news for the most part cuz it makes me really depressy TPBM uses escapism as their primary coping mechanism

Archivist Does Writing! (Surprise!)
Wittles replied to The Aspiring Archivist's topic in Creator's Corner
This is really interesting. Something about the almost drab tone was kind of spooky for some reason, it made for a very intriguing tone and just a cool aesthetic in my head. -
I got some things! This is a drawing of Zuko I did from memory, mostly to experiment with shading, but I actually really like how it turned out. I've been absolutely obsessed with his character lately. This isn't really a drawing, and I don't know if you can even consider this art, but I think it's hilarious. In my 3d modeling class we were supposed to make a render of a jackolantern, and this is how it turned out. Something about this image is just absolutely hysterical to me.

It's been a bit, but I finally finished it. Wow. Just wow. That was a very cool twist. It legitimately completely shocked me, I did not expect it at all.
