I almost started crying because I was thinking of character ships. That has NEVER happened before. I never let myself get this emotionally invested in something. Which means I am setting myself up for HEARTBREAK.

Well, foo. I guess Percy smoking up any time now is just him using Minor Illusion. I am choosing to ignore that for art/head canon purposes b/c it’s way more fun if it’s still him being a bit off.

And because imagining Percy getting all smoky when he’s frustrated is a bit funny. Just starts rolling off him when he gets in a huff (in combat, having difficulty with tinkering, or when Cassandra is being an annoying younger sister). Like a terribly obvious blush he can’t turn off.

I need to get the ‘oomph’ back to tackle Drift and Hivemind again. Been a bit paralyzed with continuing it right now. Worried about having it disappoint, worried I need to really focus on original stuff, but also it’s good practice??? I dunno. 

I mean I know I have a couple people who having offered to read stuff and look at it but I feel so SILLY doing this with a shitty little fan project. Like I really should be investing that time elsewhere.

I have two commissions and one freelance bit I need to finish, then I need to prowl about for more commissions. With holiday break, I’m missing almost two weeks of teaching classes, so need to supplement that loss BEFORE it bites me in the butt.

And making sure I have the funds to replenish my print stock for conventions next year... *sigh* End of the year is the WORST.

Less than 5 minutes into Ridiculous 6 and it’s just as bad as I would’ve thought.

I’m gonna need to watch Quick Draw again to get the taste of this out of my mouth.

I have a weird thing about music. As in I barely listen to any outside of having my iPhone play something while I’m in the shower (I need a background THING when I get ready for bed, otherwise I lose focus), or while I’m writing (and if it’s writing, I need non-instrumental things or vocals become distracting). I just find it boring. 

So it’s really weird to be up at 5AM and just REALLY WANTING to listen some music.
