(In which we find the scaffolding in the storage room of Bindlestiff, I blur out of existence, and I wear a lamp shade on my head until we decide that would be too silly looking for the show.)
(I suppose I should have been doing this much sooner: a blitz of Forbidden Future(s) photos! These ones are part of the photoshoot, the rest will be some behind the scenes type things)
It’s October 4th! That means Silver Queen is a year older! Some folks got together and made a collection on AO3 for SQ’s birthday, and it’s full of works you can look at right now.
Happy birthday, Silver Queen! Thank you for your wonderful fic of monstrous length. Our vague theme was focusing on ways Shikako has improved people’s lives.
The collection is open and unmoderated, so anyone who wants to add a belated gift to the collection should feel free to do so.
If you want to discuss individual works, stop by the recursive channel on the discord for a free-for-all or drop in on the subreddit for threaded discussions about individual works!
(Going to be involved with this next show. Hopefully not as all encompassing-ly involved to the point of neglecting here, but I’ve never stage managed before so who knows…)
MY AUGUST IS ALREADY SO EXHAUSTING AND IT’S ONLY THE FIRST O_O
But, also, this is what I’m acting in! If you’re in the area, check it out here
First night is tomorrow–or, technically, tonight! Come out, come out, if you can 😀
(I’ll be real, here. Under a cut and in parentheses and italicized, because I want to express myself but I don’t want it to be the main thing, you know?
These past few weeks, I haven’t been my best, mentally. I’m sure some of you might have figured out my tendency for reverse seasonal depression–or overstimulation leading to depression during the warmer, brighter months instead of the usual–and I thought this year I had managed to avoid the most of it. But most likely that was more of a postponement due to being part of The Geek Show and gaining friends and getting more involved with the Bindlestiff community.
It caught up to me in the tail end of July and hit me hard these past few weeks.
But yesterday I managed to have a breakthrough of sorts. In part because I was able to FINALLY clean my room–which does help, more than you’d think–but mostly because I think I realized I was trying so hard to be okay instead of just letting myself not be okay. There are some things I can’t fix, but if I can make the slightest efforts towards the things I can, it helps.
My daily post has long since ceased to be a habit, broken and unlikely to come back anytime soon. But even if I can’t churn out the same amount of creative content as I used to, I hope I will continue to improve in quality–whether that be here or in my real life endeavors.
If you’ve read this far–thank you for your understanding and support. I know I would be so much worse off were it not for this blog and the feedback and interactions I’ve had with all of you, and a lot of my progress and improvement is founded on the courage and inspiration I draw from here.
