its making it kind of hard to write anything, and now im stressed about like. being too unmotivated to finish any part of the project, the way i haven't finished literally any other independent creative project in my life, because im a really shitty artist
this is such an unfair thing to be upset about but i just. really want more people to pay attention to my ocs. having friends online as a teen had primed my brain to thrive exclusively on validation and the fact that ive had 6 people offer to read the thing and exactly one of them follow through and actually engage with me about them is upsetting- like if i were just being ignored that would be one thing, but i feel like ive annoyed everyone into disengaging out of spite or something
@MUCK LMAO probably not kin drama but i suspect they posted an opinion i strongly disagreed with. i have a pretty impulsive block finger
@MUCK ...also i have jehancourf blocked but i dont remember why?

bummer
the dream i expected it to be super awkward and for us to still not really get along but they greeted me like they were super excited to see me and we basically picked right back up where we left off when we were at our closest.
i woke up really sad
bummer
i had a dream about wandering through a large thrift store with my wife that turned out to have a pop up museum exhibit that was just a history lesson on some of the cooler items theyd gotten over the years. it started with a quick lecture overview and while we were waiting it turned out a bunch of my friends, both from college and high school had also heard about it and wanted to check it out by pure coincidence. this included several people who ive long since lost contact with, and in
they accidentally help a lot of people in a desire to not blow their cover and at some point someone points out that they're a good person and they obviously deny it but besides being kind of a dick they can't pull up any instinces that contradict this in the last decade and spend the next week being like "?????????"
basically they had to assume a false persona after they faked their death and they intentionally crafted one that was distant but low key- basically they tried to fake being who they were if they didn't have weird bullshit with their family and weren't completely morally bereft, and they did a good enough job that it's basically overtaken their "real" identity, and if they tried to go back to how they were before they probably wouldn't get very far.
they project themself as a dry emotionless asshole who is intentionally abrasive and has no friends. but underneath that cold exterior, is a person who burnt down their family's house with fifteen people inside to avoid getting charged with the seven murders they committed.
but underneath /that/ they're pretty chill.
"this is not only due to your bad posts" they say, pelting me with small rocks, "there are many reasons for this"
