A young artist ran in with a box, panicked.
"Can you help me please? THIS showed up on my doorstep last week and I don't know what to do with it. It keeps me up all night, I can barely eat, sometimes it makes me forget to breathe."
I peeked into the cardboard box; a small, large-eyed muse peeked back out at me.
"Are you trying to get rid of it..?" I asked.
"Oh heck no! I just don't know how to discipline it or what to feed it."

okay oops, more social stuff re:Anime (gender stuff -?)
Totally Spies definitely was trash, but like, still want to see if Sakura was.
Okay it probably was too but I want to just sit down and find out.
Also, I have a track record for enjoying some trash anime. It's good. I like it. Fuck you :V

I... I know Cardcaptor Sakura is probably a trashy show. But it was one I was very.... upset about.
10 year old me sure did enjoy Beast Wars and Reboot, boyish shows, but like. I also wanted to watch Cardcaptor Sakura and Totally Spies rather than like, Dragonball Z.
Felt like I was sneaking some forbidden treasure watching either of those shows.
For a short moment on problematic nature of anime
You know, this show actually does well showing some sexuality in childhood without it being CREEPY (looking at you Flip Flappers. That one outfit makes me worried to suggest the show to people)
Even the fan service stuff generally felt like it was a bit self aware. Not sure if it makes that GOOD, but it's better than it just being there unquestioned.
While looking for a different gif from the series, found this.
I need to rewatch this at some point. The animation is just so good, the story's cute and I'm full onboard for some cute queer kids.
Also just like, some scenes like this where you kinda need to see it as a loop to actually catch just how well done it is :D
The sculptor took a step back.
It is said all you have to do is to look at the block of marble and remove everything that isn't the statue. This is not quite true. For if you do, the statue will come alive.
"It is done," the sculptor said, "I have removed as much as I dare."

Birdsite, 'like for answers' meme thing. (anwers)
14: The patience of my friends putting up with me and making me feel like I actually have some value.
And I guess surviving cancer. (It's been over a decade now, sorry, it doesn't feel that... big to me anymore?)
15: A more skilled artist than I already am.

11: Spoopy. Uh... I mean, who ever killed me? Like this feels like something that should be picked after I die, not before.
12: Mix of Scottish and German, Canadian born.
13: Heights, the idea of spelunking, current political issues.
Birdsite, 'like for answers' meme thing. (anwers)
9: Don't really... huh. Is it weird I don't even know what to possibly answer this with? Uh. Some really good sushi I guess.
10: ANYWHERE? Uh, the library from my Turning Pages comic. Or into the hands of any of the many TF witches/scientist characters I and friends have. (That's right I'll even make THIS horny.)

4(actually): Jokes and being around people who I'm comfortable with who are happy. Even if the good mood fades basically as soon as they aren't around anymore.
5: BIRDS!... But dogs. Cats are good, but I grew up with dogs. The nostalgia tips those scales.
6: Visiting all the friends I have online! So many people I wanna give hugs to
7: Ew no.
8: HEAVY rain or lightly cloudly with a good breeze.

We've got the buffer to stack em, so I will. Fuck you birdsite etiquette, we're doing that
Anyway
1: Generally as coffee? I enjoy some of the fruit teas with a little pinch of sugar
2: Can't go wrong with a slice of chocolate cake and icecream.
3: Autumn. Chilly, orange leaves, halloween and the fun-spooky stuff. I'd say winter but snow and I are still not on speaking terms.
4: .......Good question.
brain shit, anxiety habits (- - -)
Kinda frustrated that the like... nervous tick I seem to have is my left arm shaking and that's my drawing arm so it already kinda feels tired and I've not even picked up my tablet pen today.
And trying to stop from crewing the ends of my hair again. I'd dropped that habid a year ago. Really embarrassed about it being back but hey there we are.
brain shit (- - -)
I... I had some plans for today. They were yesterday's plans really. But that got eaten in anxiety attacks and just locking out the world and cleaning instead.
Today's been.... The last 6 hours have felt like a blurred and very long half hour. I know I've been either crying of like, involuntary micronapping on my desk.
Had a shower, it's... I dunno. Fresh tear lines now I guess?
Wanted to do some writing but that's not going to happen. Will try to draw something.
mh, hosting guests, etiquette (-?)
In related news, wants to spend today working on my twine game and getting some chore things done.
Seems I'm spending it instead alternating between trying to clean and panic attacks.
mh, hosting guests, etiquette (-?)
Am... am I the only one who like, emotionally needs some warning of if a guest is going to be over for more than a handful of hours?
Like, generally the number of days they'll be visiting is also the number of days warning that's a bare minimum of me not being a ball of fucking anxiety?
Sorry, I've moved accounts D:
