I got roped into wanting another art comm… by myself of course. Nobody to blame but myself.
I saw a really nice piece of art on twitter currently known as x, and I wanted something similar instantly.
In my defence, it’s really gorgeous art.
Like, I have impeccable taste.
I am certain of it.
So because I am a weird person, I used to shave my pathetic excuse for facial stubble in the shower.
A few years back the bathroom got remodelled and among the many things that changed, one of them was the loss of the mirror in the shower.
I could no longer shave in the shower.
This has done irreparable damage to my wake up routine… as I still haven’t found a time to shave consistently that sits with my autistic brain.
Well it’s been a few months now and I have enough of a beard that it’s starting to annoy me because I am conscious of it being there…
But I still can’t get my autistic brain to DO THE THING.
In the previous chapter we had to name the elements and we ended up with three different possible translations for the final one.
The element of nothingness.
Well nothing isn’t really an option, just the direct meaning… void was suggested, which was tempting because of a certain franchise…
But I went with null because I think that’s what most anime use these days I believe?
What do you all think?
I think it’s interesting how much I struggle to handle scheduling things.
Not in an organisation way.
But because I want to allocate as much time as possible to something, and when I can’t do that I will just… allocate no time to it.
My brain just refuses to accept “a little bit” or “quite a bit” as an option.
There is only “all” or “nothing”.
Yay autism!
After joking about viewing an argument on the previous post I got into an argument with a friend in the middle of this post.
Weird how that works out.
I actually stressed myself over it, I don’t know why I get so worked up when it comes to that friend… maybe because I actually care about their opinions? Which is annoying because we have opposite opinions on a lot of things so I think we both kind of annoy each other whenever we try to discuss things…
I got distracted by an argument happening on discord so I ended up forgetting what I was going to type for this ramble.
For the record, the argument was about the state of rpg livestreams, the tabletop kind I mean.
There was a lot of stuff being thrown around about pandering and such.
I also somehow just accidentally bit my lip… doing nothing… so that’s fun.
You know I wanted to be fast doing these chapters but I still ended up taking an hour…
I really need to work on my time management. Or really I just need to stop multitasking.
It never works for me.
But that won’t stop me either, because doing multiple things at once feels better for me, somehow.
I got distracted twice while trying to post this.
I don’t even know how because I put my phone on the other side of the room. I just ended up picking a book on my shelf and going “I don’t remember reading this one, what happened in it” before flicking through to go “Oh I did read this one, I remember these scenes, but I still don’t remember the story.”
So yeah, that’s the functionality level of my brain right now.
Also for the record it was Magical Explorer Volume 7 that I was trying to recall reading.
Strangely it feels like my room has started to fall apart recently.
This week alone I have had two incidents:
The last two of my remaining coat hooks spontaneously snapped off overnight.
My headset cushioning has started to come off entirely and is merely held in place by friction and force of will.
The only thing in perfect condition is my door handle because that broke in the middle of last year and has been replaced.
I am entirely unsure as to what to put for this ramble to honest.
Oh right!
My friends persuaded me to resub to ffxiv so I can experience the story I have been skipping since Endwalker released.
To be honest, it was mostly one friend, but it’s kind of hard to say no to her.
I only intend to play it sporadically though, I have other games to focus on these days, like GFL2!
The POV character for this chapter is amusing.
His family name is Haggard.
It just made me imagine him as some really tired old man, it was just that kind of name.
I want you to keep that in mind, that’s all.
We have a bonus chapter of Small Fry for you today!
The new year is upon us, so we’re starting it by depriving me of sleep.
Yes, I am an idiot, I didn’t realise just how many chapters I needed to prepare for new year.
The sun has started to rise and I am just now scheduling them to post…
I have had brighter moments.
For some reason this post failed to post… and now I am remaking it in a rush before the deadline… yay!
I think the original pre-chapter ramble here was about the twitter arguments about The Odyssey and what translation to read.
I don’t remember what one I read at school, but it wasn’t Wilson.
Also I saw a funny post about “Finally, a localiser problem but for normies” which made me laugh.
I somehow ended up on the weird side of vtuber fan documentation and I had to laugh at how US centric enough this fanbase is that they felt the need to specify in quotes that one British vtuber “went halfsies” on the payment of their microphone.
Is that really a Britishism?
To her credit, 2000 is a lot for a microphone…
