Fuck your dream job what’s your dream hobby that you don’t have the means to take up yet. Mine are falconry and aerial acrobatics

I was really looking forward to the end of April so I could go back to my fun little fic writing again, but the death of a family member really set me back. I just ground to a complete halt. This entire month I really haven’t done anything creatively fulfilling. I didn’t read for fun. I didn’t really watch any shows or movies. I did homework. Went to my job and came home and just kept myself busy. I’ve been feeling kind of listless and off which is normal, I suppose, but wow grief is exhausting.

My last major assignment is due this Wednesday and maybe I can slowly work back up to doing things for fun until my summer course begins. I do have hope. I don’t feel as low as before. Life is a constant ebb and flow of good times and bad, and I am much better at faring those waves, but a small part of me is always a little impatient with myself. Especially because this family member died so young, so I felt a little frantic like, “Start enjoying life now!!!”

But you can’t skip grief. You just have to let it wash over you and away first and I guess that’s what this month has been for me.

Trope of the day is... defying prophecies. These centuries-old plans are just not working out. Maybe something was lost in translation, maybe the wording was just too gender-specific, maybe the chosen one just didn't want to participate. All that waiting just to get disappointed.

This person left a wonderfully long, thoughtful comment on Candied Facade and I haven’t had a chance to sit down and respond but just had to share this portion because they mention @gigantomachy1916 here and it’s some well-deserved praise for their writing as well 🥹♥️!!!

Dream of Saint Helena by Paolo Veronese, painted about 1570

I went to the National Gallery again to keep smashing my art block. Alas it wasn’t late opening night so I only got down the pencil sketch and not the colours for this study. I’ll have to come back another day to complete!

[dillyfirestarter]

I visited again tonight and drew some more! Mildly harassed most of the time by a man drunk enough he’d lost his filter who wanted to know everything about what I was up to. I let him play with the pencils since he was fluffing my ego something rotten
