PTO ser? a crumb of PTO ser? just a wee bit of PTO for your spreadsheet jockey ser?

thinking about it i'm pretty sure i'm actually like lowkey crashing out

i will pay one of you $5 to play star rail enough to get through amphoreus and like phaidei and/or ratiorine and be willing to talk about it with me

😑

the kind of engagement i got in 2015 vs what i get in 2026. guess which is which dropped a 36k word wip in 2024 bc it felt like just throwing my shit into a silent void. seems i might be on track for a repeat of that with the two i'm working on now, but i'll try to finish them for myself at least

listen i love ao3 as much as the next guy but ive seen people quit fic writing over the past few years because people comment and engage with authors way less, and then everyone still freaks out when ao3 goes down- if a fic is irreplaceable to u, let the author know!

this thing is nigh impossible to fight, jesus christ

after sitting on it for a while, my opinion on Amphoreus as a whole is this: if it was a single player game that didn't have to cater to gacha, and if they had an editor that forced their lead writer to be even slightly less verbose, then it would probably be my favorite game of all time. Alas

im enjoying arknights endfield but it drives me slightly insane that all these characters have 2 sets of ears. if they have animal ears don't give them human ears!!!!!! it looks WEIRD

i'm so tired of doing overtime bro i can feel myself withering beneath a never ending torrent of excel spreadsheets

seeing the hysteria whenever ao3 goes down is wild because you'd think nobody ever uses the site based on how little people actually interact with fic these days

watch this, i call it the ADHD Special *drinks a high caffeine energy drink and passes out 30 minutes later*

husband found out what i named my PC

saw someone trying to write a sympathetic article about n*ncy m*ce, of all people. "she's mean and crazy bc she has trauma" lol fuck off, most of my life has been a waking nightmare and yet somehow i've managed to not turn into a raging psychopathic bigot

Culture has to turn away from this shit to survive. We have to make our own stuff and maybe it’ll look like dogshit but we can call it ours and love the process

wait the player character of arknights endfield is canonically genderfluid??? BROOOOOO

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Nice Lemons 🍋 #oilpainting #art

Back at it again in the mines

oh my god i got varka in 30 pulls and won the 25/75 for his weapon. nvm life is worth living

people just do not comment on or engage with wip fics anymore unless you're a fandom heavy hitter. it creates this shitty ouroboros of: people don't engage with the wips, so authors don't finish them, which further encourages people to not engage with the wips

this is hateful

hanging out with my daughter

TEN HOURS OF CODING LATER (i gave myself a migraine but it was worth it)

just a reminder that the single "lol" at the end of the my message is loadbearing and actually propping up the last shred of sanity i have lol

ao3 adding in dozens of extraneous coding tags for a 6,000 word document is my villain origin story

thousand yard stare because i spent hours on this CSS to mimic a wikipedia page on ao3, but i can't figure out how to get it to work on mobile and 95% of people read fic on their phones now

getting really sick of my friends telling me the cursed blade is warping my mind. it's LITERALLY fine. i can stop fucking using it whenever i want. i think they're just jealous. like they know it'd corrupt them but i'm clearly stronger than its influence. in fact, i'm stronger than all of them...

I don't have anything new but HAPPY ZELDA 40TH ANNIVERSARY

Fascism is here and yet we insist on continuing to make things. Keep creating. It's so important. Do not let the fascists colonize your imagination or curtail your creativity.

u should be as insane and passionate about your fave npcs/chars as u want. the only ppl thinking ur cringe are miserable and wishing they could have as much fun as u

the curse of working on peoples 401ks when all i want to do is write yaoi

DONT - dashare.zone ADMIN

bad day and mega sick with zero PTO so i just have to work through it, but i feel marginally better after starting a new drawing. yaoi will save me

You have to create. Even if it’s clumsy even if it’s bad even if it’s something no one will look at but you. You have to. Water the gardens of your heart or wither.

i can't lie i'm proud of that one. falling dick first into phaidei has leveled up my art skills a bit

probably gonna be busy af this week, but Avowed just got a big update to the character creator and i wanna play it 😔 such is the suffering of a man trapped in the wage cage

my sons are sleeping on me in bed after i laid down for a nap 🥺

finished amphoreus

it seems i like yet another ship in hsr that's apparently deemed Problematic it's not my fault hoyo hinted at it so strongly ok. if they have chemistry, then they have chemistry. take it up with god (this tweet sponsored by ciphlaea)

she could tell me it was made out of rat poison and i'd eat it in half a second

the horror i felt when someone told me imgur doesn't work in the UK anymore and all the embedded images in my fic are broken because of that. ITS APPARENTLY BEEN LIKE THAT SINCE SEPTEMBER????????? AUGHHHH
