Man How Do People Make Interesting Magic Systems Look So Easy Ive Been Struggling To Remake One For A

HEY. You. Yes you.

Sometimes you're gonna be trying to do something early and you're going to piss away the whole day making very little progress. Sometimes it'll feel like time just passes under your feet. Sometimes all your little systems you set up to keep you productive aren't going to work. And people aren't going to understand when you explain it.

That's ok. You're not evil, you're not a disappointment and you didn't just peak in high school; you're just experiencing executive dysfunction. Maybe you don't have meds, or the ones you have aren't working quite as much today, or you just have other shit interfering with it.

You don't have to succeed 100% of the time. Sometimes your body and brain are telling you to do things that aren't "productive" that you need. Sometimes you need a walk in the sun or under the moon. Maybe you need to take an hour or two to meticulously clean your room and do laundry. Maybe you needed a nice hot shower or some time with your friends.

People aren't always forgiving or understanding; learn to lie a little for that. But for you, you sweet little creature... learn to forgive yourself. Let this meat puppet you're shambling around in (with???) tell you what it needs. Soft animal of your body and all that. You can't expect to always huff and puff and buckle down to do The Tasks. Fail at this sometimes. Please.

tumblr's algorithm decided to freak out on me yesterday so i had to go on a spree of "this particular post is not for me" and blocking so now it doesnt know what to show me

i have scarred The Algorithm with the tools it gave me and it best be hesitant to go rogue again

AHEEM HEEM can i show you horrors that will melt your bones? oh please please please??

im trying to get the "To Live Forever" achievement in No Man's Sky so i started a permadeath run. It is Hard. not because of any of the actual permadeath stuff, no no. i am very good at the game. it is hard because i have to spend 5 hours building a base EVERY GODDAMN TIME. it is part of the MAIN QUEST. that you CANNOT IGNORE. seething. i absolutely despise this part of the game and if I turn off tutorial quests then it doesn't count as a permadeath run, for some reason...

no mans sky, i love you but like. come on. 40 side quests are not essential to the main quest

Artists, reblog and tell me in the tags what your favourite and least favourite part of your process is! With digital art, I love lineart so much, but I get really impatient with filling in flat colours.

I always open up an older drawing of a character when I start drawing them again. Not as reference, I have all the design things in my head (usually). It's so i can pick the exact colors. Does anyone else do this?

actually, let's do a poll, since I can now.
