Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Gravehearts chapter 1 is now live on itch! 🪦💛

and an illustration of 3 characters surrounded by an orange autumnal tree and graves. One character is a cat clown doll floating above the right shoulder of a large buff man with a beard and overalls, then floating over the man's other shoulder is a slightly transparent cowboy with green hair and heavy scars.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

My therapist has to remind me constantly that just because I'm anxious something may happen doesn't necessarily mean it will.

Pina ✨ ADHD Alien @adhd-alien.bsky.social · 3d

I’ve learnt that only hyperfocus can keep me from disappointing others. Sometimes.

Two-page comic about ADHD, self-doubt, and burnout.

Panels 1+2
A person with short black hair and yellow antennae recalls lifelong struggles with effort and recognition. As a child, they cry while being scolded over homework. Later, they work hard but still fail small details and receive an “F.” When they finally succeed, they can’t enjoy it—holding a medal labeled “2,” they feel it’s luck, not skill.

Panel 3+4
Page 2:
They explain how productivity fluctuates. A blue graph shows steady effort, while a pink line spikes wildly. They say, “For me, it fluctuates more extremely.” Sitting exhausted at a messy desk, they admit, “I only stop when I’m too tired to go on. The word I learned for all this was ‘lazy.’ I never learned a healthy measure or how to trust myself.”

I wish I could draw like this all the time without my brain calling them "bad drawings."

I think the place my heart wants my art to be is that straddle between abstract and anatomy, loose and precise.

But I never seem to be able to stay there.

i've been trying my hand at inking with a dip pen lately, testing out different nibs

the first study was drawn with a deleter tama-nib, the second with a deleter g-pen and the last with the brause steno 361/blue pumpkin (and my fingertips :D )

An drawing in black ink on white paper of grasses, a mossy rock, a wooden fence and foggy, windy atmosphere. It is a study of an Illustration by the late comic artist Bernie Wrightson. The hatching and density of lines is what I tried to copy.

An ink drawing of my OC Hugh, a young man with white, floofy hair. He's looking to the right over his sunglasses, slightly smiling. His ear is pierced in multiple places and he's wearing a black choker, a pearl necklace and a longer necklace with some gemstones on it hanging over his chest where his dark, sunflower-patterned dress shirt is open. The sleeves are rolled up and reveal a sunflower tattoo sleeve on his right arm

CW character death: an ink drawing of my D&D character Camille as he is hit by a disintegrate-spell and dissolved into black dust. Camille is a heavily scarred half-elf with dark, wavy hair streaked with premature grey. He is gripped around the throat by a large, gauntleted hand. He's trying to pry it off, but shock sets in as he realizes he cannot. Emanating from the gauntleted grip around his neck is dusty blackness, illustrated here with black ink smudges, the texture of the paper, and small pointilist dots and parallel hatching.
