Just nuked the majority of my ask box. Cleared it of out of date messages and now irrelevant messages. I can't always answer each and every one, but I just wanna say I always appreciate them ❤️ ... Except for the weird spammy anons. I think I'm gonna leave that turned off for now

Already discussed my plans for 2026 on my writing sideblog, and here's my plan on how to achieve that-

1- Every time I get the urge to argue with some annoying twerp on the internet, instead of doing that, I will write 100 words in whatever the current chapter of my big project that I'm writing is on, or one of the related one shots.

2- Spend less time staring into the middle distance in a stupor by way of using one of my favorite big silly tables to push myself to write, practice my writing skills, or do another productive task.

3- Limit myself to 3 days a week of gaming if I have no jewelry commissions ongoing or a need to restock what I take to craft fairs.

4- Set a dedicated day every week to essentially "turn off" my internet and sit and do needed admin work on my writing (essentially a dedicated editing day instead of editing as I go, since that does seem to slow me down)

Big silly table is below the cut-

(This is an "either/or" 2d6 table. Roll twice, pick the one that is less frustrating in the moment, do not change tasks until you have completed your chosen task of the two you rolled.)

Plaintext of table below. You could do this- Or this D6- Activity 1- A- Outline Next Chapter -or- B- Check for Continuity Errors 2- A- Write 500 Words in WiP -or- B- Clean/organize desk & Surrounding Area 3- A- Stretch -or- B- "doodle"

4- A- Write or Outline a One-shot -or- B- Write 500 words of a practice activity

5- A- Re-evaluate current outline -or- B- Finish the chapter and post it to Ao3

6- A- Make a Pot of Tea -or- B- Dishes and/or Laundry

turns out it is really, really tricky to get artworks removed from ArtFight. I'm trying to clear it out of art made for former friends in advance of participating this year-- the goal's gonna be to do a big long chain and attack some totally new folks! looking forward to it a lot more now ngl, I think the situation before was really stressing me out lmao

In which I have made A Mistake(tm)

I’m trying to find a photo post for a friend that I was sure I reblogged recently, but I can’t find it in any of my tags or on a keyword search. So clearly the only answer is to go through my entire tumblr history to find it, because it would cheer them up to see the post!

And because I’m already there, might as well properly tag every post, right?

Of course, I will from this day forward Always Tag My Shit so this never happens again. Right?

Right.

(I don’t know if retagging old posts sends notifications, but if so? I’m real sorry for any spam that might be coming your way...)

My secret to digital wellbeing is to wait until I have so many tabs open I can no longer read the titles, that way I can forget what they contain and close them stress free

Day 20: Digital Detox

What is a Digital detox?

To detox from everything digital, you need to step away from all your screens for a while. It is about restricting your social media and ignoring those unimportant beeps, reducing time spent mindlessly scrolling and focusing on the real world instead.

It is better for both your mental and physical health if you can take a break.

In this post I’m also going to…

TFW you have 25,000+ emails on an account you never check and you’re trying to clean it out... in batches of 300s.

New theme on this blog that I gave up on modifying for now because it was getting too complicated and I’m super psyched about it! (I fixed up my other sideblogs' themes, too.) I spent a good chunk of the weekend trying to figure out the advantage of using <svg> in coding (especially since they’re now displaying strangely in Chrome??). I didn’t learn much tbh but I did realize that I’d really missed playing around with html/css... the next time I feel like changing tumblr themes, it’d be nice to make my own. :]

ANYWAY have some shameless self-promotion:

All my Voltron reblogs are at yellowmechanicalcat!

All my Doctor Who reblogs are moving to quiteinconceivable!

I've been (very very very slowly) working on more original content to make up for not posting as much of that lately so there should be some cool things showing up soon. :')

(especially for Voltron because I’m legit kinda worried about how season 6 is going to resolve the current storyline)
