Happy Terry Bogard Day, y'all! I was a Normal amount of excited for his arrival

That one inch really makes a difference.

A silly bit of giftart for Rileycat on Bluesky!

If it's old content, I like to gather notes for dungeons/raids/trials so it goes smoother. So imagine my surprise when I load into an alliance raid and see that it's something I unlocked, never completed, and forgot about YEARS ago and have no notes for

I was trying to figure out some way to announce the name change but fuck it I'm WoolyBold now lol

Playing ranked Street Fighter before work is a good idea cause surely this Ryu in the last match after an hour of frustrating games won't wake up level 3 again. Surely

[woolybold]

I both love and hate fighting games cause I could have a bad session and leave salty but then gain new conviction to improve for next time

[woolybold]

The game gave back to me by letting me beat a teabagging Ryu's ass

Botched Mission

A little PMD doodle featuring my Nico (hisuian sneasel/floragato mix) and my friend's Melon (charmeleon/nidoran(a) mix) referencing that one Delicious in Dungeon meme going around

Finish art, forget to upload it before/after work.

Remember I can schedule the post, forget anyway.

Tell myself to download it on my phone and upload it during lunch, forget

Remind myself to do it on my days off, forget

Repeat for several weeks

Got a friend into FFXIV with the promise I'd tank for him for fast queues. He's progressing quicky but me forgetting trial roulette exists for years is now biting me in the ass because I am NOT prepared for these.

I want to learn Tekken but I cannot wrap my head around defense as a Street Fighter player. I try to drill in my head that I shouldn't default to blocking low then my toes get clipped and suddenly I'm exploding 'cause I immediately hold down back and get hit by a launcher

I PLAY CHARGE CHARACTERS SO IT'S EVEN WORSE DOWN BACK IS MY LIFE

[woolybold]

I've got a growing pile of WIPs that pretty much only need to be lined and colored, but maybe I'll just clean the sketches up instead and post. Seemed to work alright with the last piece even though I did that in the most convoluted and pain in the ass way (it had like 20 extra layers don't ask why)

I cannot emphasize enough how much of a life hack it is to exclusively be friends with, date and marry people who are not constantly mean assholes to you.

[angstmonsterwrites]

This may seem like basic common sense, but one interesting (and kind of terrifying) thing I recently read was that some individuals who grew up in an emotionally abusive environment find that their anxiety level actually decreases in the presence of those who are mean or overly critical of them because it's familiar. Their nervous systems are hard wired to react to that kind of treatment as "normal" in the sense that it knows what to do with it--what defense mechanisms to employ when, etc.

Meanwhile, kinder, more peaceful, and healthier relationships are quite a dramatic adjustment, and ironically feel less predictable because of all the threats that are absent and never materialize. It feels suspicious or too good to be true, which in turn ratchets up hypervigilance and hyper-arousal. Instead of knowing what BS is coming because it always does, there's the nebulous sense that the other shoe is just waiting to drop. Safety and respect can feel the most unsafe for a while, because as far as the traumatized nervous system is concerned, those things don't exist, or if they do in any form, there must be a million unseen strings attached.

This is part of what traps a lot of people in abusive relationships, consistently draws them to want to please assholes, or keeps them moving from one unhealthy environment to the next--a highly toxic comfort of familiarity where being on the receiving end of cruelty feels like "home".

I've been so hyped to draw that I'm tempted to get a locker a work that'll let me bring my tablet and draw during lunch. It's probably a bad idea but oooooh man I wanna draw so bad.

A phone app and stylus is probably a better idea but I feel like I wouldn't like that

[woolybold]

One of the lockers has an open bottle of ketchup, a 2 liter bottle of soda, and chips from 3+ years ago. It's super nasty, and I don't have the time... but I kinda wanna clean it out

Thank y'all so much for the love on my silly idea! Drawing fanart is so much fun, and making dumb jokes with them is even better
