WARNING!!! this post is FAKE!!! i fabricated it.

yeah yeah i will make an actual post which isn’t just silly cheap stuff like this. i could have made this into a fancier thing but i don’t think it would have helped much. sadly, tweetgen was down so i had to use a really bad other one which uses the old twitter style and doesn’t support pfps. ugh. whatever whatever. at least it’s not a repost, amiright? hahaaaa-----

this one may come across a bit more theatrical than usual. i didn’t want it to, but that’s how the text turned out. hmm…

yea i will make an actual post today, you will get that, don’t worry. i have the idea already but got stuffs to to outside of posts rn… at least a bit.

i wish you a wonderful day in which someone listens to your concerns <3

EDIT: added the warning

      Do you know that thing where you stare at some particular spot, and you keep staring for minutes at a time and your head feels all clear after that?

      Try making yourself some tea / coffee, and sit down near a window where you can see some nature. Perhaps with leaves rustling or just trees to look at.

      Just sitting there, maybe with a warm blankie over yourself, holding the warm tea and looking outside can be really soothing. If that’s not enough stimulation, talking to yourself is an awesome way to get your thoughts into a concrete shape, which is an awesome way to think through things on your mind. For me, coming from this relaxed but not consuming state makes me feel fresh and able to pick up stuff I wanna do.

      if you feel the need to do something with digital media, I hiiiiughly recommend to just try stuff out.

      • download audacity and try remake songs with your mouth by layering multiple recordings
      • pull Krita and try all the brushes it comes with and maybe post your result on 196 cuz why not
      • look online for images and pull them together into some kind of collage

      that way you really are doing something that has output and you can reference later and also its more of an active / creative process which is a wonderful mood to start other things from.

      I hope this helps <3

        Thank you for your amazing comment. I’ll try that looking outside thingy.
        The thing is I just feel… I don’t know how to describe it, like I can’t focus. Like how when you look at something close to your face but relax your eyes to see “thru” the thing, but for focus.
        I actually managed to come up with a solid game idea, but putting it into action just feels weirdly hard.

      Get a non-screen hobby? Paint miniatures, go hiking, volunteer at a shelter… I say as I deskrot watching video essays until midnight most nights.

        Ya I like to paint but that requires me to get up off my lazy ass. I also not very good at it so the motivation ain’t there.
