Why not my blog?

I don't believe in astrology; I'm a Saggitarius and we're skeptical.

You know, that Mythbusters post legitimately changed my life. Before seeing it, I had exponentially more guilt and stress about not being able to sleep, which of course, further exacerbated my inability to sleep.

Now, every time I wake up about three am, knowing I have to get up at 6.45, instead of stressing and panicking about how my day is going to be sleep deprived and miserable, I just tell myself 'Time to activate Mythbusters Protocol' and lie there with my eyes closed safe in the knowledge that I am measurably reducing later feelings of exhaustion.

And when this happens, about 70% of the time the reduction of guilt and stress means I actually do fall back asleep, so all in all instead of getting only three or four hours sleep, I get five to six and a half.

Which y'know, major improvement in health and energy.

On a related note, that post also opened up the world of naps for me. I used to think that napping was mostly pointless for me, because I'm pretty much incapable of falling fully asleep in the middle of the day. But when I redefined naps to include "lying down with my eyes shut for an hour," even if I just spent the whole time brainstorming fanfiction, that was often enough to get me from "exhausted and running on 4 hours of sleep" to energized and refreshed

The fact that kids nowadays want ao3 to be censored— guys. Guys. Where is your sense of adventure? When I was 12, and homeschooled, and had unlimited internet access on my second hand laptop, all I felt upon discovering ao3 was unmitigated joy. A whole platform where people can be fucking weird and post toe-curling novel-length diatribes about ANYTHING. How beautiful is that?

And then you, the reader, can just jump in and post your own weird shit? And people might comment just to say “nice job!” Or “where the fuck is the next chapter” on your 20k coffee shop FNAF AU? Bro. Them’s the little things that make the internet worth anything.

Ao3 is so beautiful. I love scrolling past indescribably disturbing descriptions. I love knowing they have a place to be posted. I love knowing that, should I feel the urge to indulge, I can do so with no repercussions.

Mi familia. Mis amigos. Por favor. Take a step back and be grateful that not every facet of creativity has been locked behind an algorithm.

But Goldmund was timid; the only way he knew to court Narcissus was to exhaust himself in being an attentive, eager student. But more than timidity held him back. He sensed a danger to himself in Narcissus.

Coronation - It happened 1000 years ago, a few days before the official coronation of the first King of Poland in Gniezno. Another, more intimate, but no less important coronation took place under the sacred oak of Weles. However, you will not read about it in any chronicles, sources or notes from that time. Church scribes, the only chroniclers of that period, couldn't and shouldn't know about it…

Bolesław, like his father Mieszko, was a fearless warrior, wise, cunning and charismatic leader, but most of all pragmatist. Syncretism suited him, especially when it helped in realization of his personal goals and ambitions. He was baptized, and posed for years for an exemplary Christian, to secure the favor of the Roman Church and be able to officially seek a royal crown accepted by the Western world and The Holy Roman Empire, but he never renounced the faith of his ancestors and secretly cultivated the old ways and old gods. With his “condition” he didn’t really have much choice. Bolesław was calm and ready. Weavers of Fate, all his choices, all battles, all deeds, all spilled blood have led him to this place. This ancient ritual and coronation has an even greater significance for him than the official christian one, which will take place in a few days in the Gniezno Cathedral. After years of long and bloody wars, he managed to defeat and unite all Lechitic tribes, wild packs of Luticians and savage Pomeranians. At dawn, between night and day, under the sacred oak of Weles, he will become the ruler of all Vukodlak tribes from the Odra river to Kyivan Rus! He will become the first King of the Vukodlaks! His legacy, a trace left on the path of the ancestors. work process: https://jrozalski.com/projects/XJErla

I’m a character artist, which means landscapes are my enemy. I have an automatic habit of rendering mountains and grass as if it was skin. I struggle to get the sense of scale right - everything feels mid-sized, while it should be epic and grandiose. It’s tough, but I will keep trying! Here’s some assorted environment practice 💪
