that balaclava is incredible. i'm a knitter and have no clue how to crochet, but i admire how much easier it seems to freestyle in crochet than in knitting. projects like this really make me want to learn!

Thank you!! I find crochet significantly easier, but I learned it first, and I'm under the impression it's a lot more versatile which I appreciate. I hope you do end up trying it :D

the problem i've always had with asking for constructive criticism is that whoever decides to critique my work suddenly becomes the world's foremost authority on art and gives me a lot of criticism without pointing out anything that they liked or offering ways to improve. i say "critique my work", they hear "make me feel bad for creating this".

@badgraph1csghost I've kinda had that issue as well. Granted, I'm sensitive as all hell and even the rudest constructive criticism has the potential to be helpful if it's at least given in good faith. However, there definitely are people our there who use it as a bad-faith cudgel to tear people down.

re: 30, it sounds like your asexuality is pretty similar to mine. I consider myself aegosexual, i.e. I only find sex enjoyable/appealing when it's third-person, fictional fantasies or scenarios, esp. in drawn or written smut. Otherwise, real-life or self-involved sex seems so boring, if not outright repulsive. It seems paradoxical, but I felt very vindicated to learn that a lot of aspec people experience this.

unfortunately i feel like i'm too young to know my orientation - i did a lot of digging into it and i can't really seem to find concrete answers. i keep flipflopping between pan and ace in my head. probably ace in reality but i like to be in denial because comedy

Re: the April 3rd update (I think your profile was disabled at the time), subvocalizing is imo the best way to read for actual enjoyment, for the exact reasons you say: you need to hear the author speaking in your head to really feel what they're communicating. The people who are against it are all deep in the speed-reading world, which I'm sure has advantages for certain types of reading, but...

…you shouldn’t let them make you feel bad. Also, I relate to that weird loneliness that comes after spending a long time with someone. I feel it less now that I have a girlfriend who is always here when I come home, but when she goes on business trips it’s weird how desolate it suddenly feels here. Writing definitely helps — it feels like planting seeds for future connections and communications

relatable, it feels like making friends is pointless to me because there's always this time when they disappear and i'm just... back how it was before i even met them. it's llike it's entirely pointless if they're not going to be t here for me 100% of the time

@niicespiice Yeah, people coming and going is really difficult. I don’t personally find it pointless if somebody eventually leaves though. Painful? Very. But I’m usually grateful to have had the connection, though I’ve had some really bitter endings

Such good advice for writing fanfic in here. Or, really, writing anything. It has to hold your interest and you need to cut yourself some slack in order to be truly creative. I've read some stuff where the author had clearly given up and was just barfing words onto the page. Not fun.

ooff same. everytime i try reading a fiction book, my brain stays engaged for a few pages, and then before i realise it i've turned 15 page without reading anything. as i'm backtracking, i realise i never really read anything before that either and i just shut the book and give up.

Ah, I'm just now noticing your "Establishing an online support network" post. Consider me absolutely delighted. Perhaps I'm a little vain too, but I love acknowledgements of each other's, anyone's, pages-- our words and our works-- that we exist to each other. So, more than anything, thanks for the sort of "positive feedback." It's been lovely interacting with you as of late!

i remember seeing a comic someone drew for tumblr a while back (a fricken DECADE ago) that said "the most important filter is the photographer" and it was a table with one clean space amidst a wreck of a room. that hit. online authenticity has /never/ been authentic :(

Take it from me— You can be as suicidal as you want when writing. Nothing’s going to happen to you, except that you’ll feel better for it.

"but I don't want to distress others and I have this weird complex that, at least spiritually, somebody is calling the cops on me." OHHHH SAME. i don't feel safe being 100% authentic with some things. i just allude to them. however i generally think i'm an honest person on my site, i go into pretty deep parts of my minmdset i guess. just not the full way. because im worried its illegal or smth (PROBABLY IS)

Looking at your art again and it's so so delightful <3 It feels so expressive to me. If I weren't so shy about my own drawing practice, I'd go draw right now, feeling inspired when I look at your work. As always, hope you're well! =)

This is so kind swiftred, thank you , this was a nice little surprise :, ) I personally would love to see your drawings , art is something we should never try to "make good", but i totally understand the anxiety; it's affected my own stamina over the years. I hope you're well too, i mosey over sometimes to read your written words because I enjoy much how you talk about things.. please take care of yourself always
