You actually cannot skip to being good at a creative endeavour that you haven't put much practice into. You cannot trick your way out of the 'knows that your work is not what you want it to be but don't know how to improve it' stage by planning or reading or talking about it really really hard. At some point you just have to craft through it until your brain finds it's own unique way back to the 'everything I make slaps' stage and be prepared to start the cycle all over again. You just have to make that project you're excited about slightly less good than you want it to be. (Says this standing in a pool of blood and covered in blood and also coughing up a little blood)

we have to start running a massive PSA campaign to young gay people so everyone understands there is a difference between being a dom and being a top and between being a sub and being a bottom. and also that sometimes you are neither a sub nor a bottom and you're just like shy. we need to be handing out flyers we need ads at every train station spreading the word

dinner at the adversary's house. no one can find her. half way through she appears and suplexes her boyfriend straight through the table. the narrator is fatally wounded by a flying shard of glass

i'm your only friend (realizes that's statistically unlikely) i'm not your only friend (considers my positive qualities) but i'm a little glowing friend (suddenly gets cold feet) but really i'm not actually your friend (remembers to be confident in relationships) but i am

"why is the character like that" >look inside character >it's the author's subconscious attempt to love themself

[sycamorality]

this is meant positively by the way. sometimes you love the character so much you end up putting a piece of yourself in it to learn how it is to love yourself without realising and thats ok.

Eleanor Wild doodles that i eventually added upon and sprinkled in some specks of lore last minute

On those two last panels i was inspired by illustrated folktale books (shout out Natalia Trepenok) which felt very natural for a story like Leporidae Cowboys

still thinking fondly of people who don't give a shit about me

[succubusboyfriend]

are you “adaptable” or are you just willing to subject yourself to existing in low key background-level ambient misery

[succubusboyfriend]

these are different things btw. actual adaptability means not dealing with being miserable long term. and being constantly mildly annoyed/frustrated with a situation but being “able to deal with it” counts as ambient misery. btw.

[succubusboyfriend]

let this be your sign to make your life just a little more livable. get a dollar store trash can for your bedside so Cup City’s invasion plans fall through. block a tag or post that makes you grind your teeth every time you see it. get some grip pads so your bed stops sliding across the hardwood a little bit every time you get in it. tell that person you need a little more support. if you get annoyed at a situation more than a couple times, change it. don’t be content with being miserable.

a few people reblogged my original post without the further commentary w tags like this, so i'd like to clarify.

ADAPTABILITY IS recognizing that the situation you have found yourself in is making you miserable in some way and changing something, internally or externally, in order to make it tenable. changes, depending on the situation, may include but are not limited to:

looking at something ultimately harmless but frustrating to you from a different perspective and shifting your outlook towards it accordingly. for example, sometimes annoying but harmless behaviors from loved ones are genuinely how they show care and thoughtfulness, and recognizing that can genuinely make them no longer frustrating. it sounds stupid but it's true. (obviously there's nuance here, but this post isn't about that)

recognizing bodily pain from the situation and taking preventative measures in the future so that it doesn't get worse, i.e. wearing a wrist brace when drawing if you've recognized that drawing is beginning to hurt your hand, or wearing a knee brace if you work a very labor-intensive job and are experiencing knee pain

recognizing a current organizational system is no longer working in your favor and either changing the problem elements of it or finding a new one. sticking with one that doesn't work any more in the hopes that it just randomly will again is only gonna leave you in limbo, embrace the pivot.

as said in my commentary, blocking a tag or user of a website that annoys you rather than stewing in frustration every time you see them. you're on the internet to have fun, there's literally no point in letting your limited free time in this world suck when you can make it so it doesn't.

recognizing a minor annoyance your partner or friend is causing and working around this so that it is no longer a concern. key word MINOR. for example, if you're annoyed they never put the toaster back to the right setting and you keep burning your toast because of it, it's going to be better for both of you if you just realize that that's always going to happen and just double check the setting yourself before trying to make toast. (again, nuance, but this post isn't about that)

recognizing your own shortcomings as a singular person and the benefits of being a social animal and asking for outside assistance. adaptability sometimes means knowing when you can't do it by yourself. yes, really.

ADAPTABILITY IS NOT just fucking grinning and bearing it. something that is harming you actively breaks you down over time. an animal in a new environment is not adapting to that environment if it's still hurting them. either they change so that it can't hurt them any more, or they change the environment around them to suit them.

if you are able to adapt to something, you should be, baseline, comfortable with it at the end of the day. not "kinda frustrated but it's fine", not "upset but it is what it is" - you should be comfortable.

if you are living in ambient misery instead, that is not adaptability, that is tolerance, and eventually that tolerance is going to meet its threshold and you are going to crack.

you do not have to let that happen.
