Little Human Rituals // Monthly Thread // MONTH UNKNOWN BC IM BAD AT TIME 6
Hallo after the holidays! Its time for another show and tell!
(Okay were gonna see about uploading it here and sharing the links to Fansly/Patreon bc Fansly cuts off text and so if I make it right here, I can just send the link and folks who wanna read it can do so <3 This way, I can yap as much as I like and it won’t get cut off! The site needs an overhaul but we’re working with the energy levels and materials we got, lol.)
Omg! So my birthday was on the 19th of Dec and we had snow RIGHT UP TO the 19th and THEN IT ALL MELTED! And then my bday came, went, IMMEDIATE SNOW, THEN GONE AGAIN?! And then, and after xmas, then we get nothing but snow. It was like nature really wasn't gonna give up a winder wonderland for the holidays lol! So ruuuuude 3:<
But oh! Oh man, I finally got a real vacation! Normally holidays were for getting ahead or disassociating after doing too much to get ahead in the first place lol.
Of course, some stuff was still chaotic, holidays being what they are, but I'm learning how to treat myself better.
I think life wouldn't be so hard if I didn't run my own like a slave master. We're hardest on ourselves so its important to remember to be kind to ourselves instead of flogging ourselves to perform just because we have energy to do it. Thats the logic anyway.
Oh! I got a bunch of bulk foods too, we canned a bunch of chicken and we got some herbs but I didnt realize some werent already dried so I was gonna set out to put em in the dehydrator bc I worry about waste.
Im so proud of myself though because normally I'd just push through and make myself do the entire pack of herbs but I could feel the stress building up bc I get super grossed out if "gross" things are left in food and I wasn't sure I could remove all the icky woody bits. (I blame the autism lol, I’ve been reading about ARFID and safe foods and wondering if its got to do w/ that lol, don’t quote me, I just do a lot of reading >w<)
So I was really getting stressed so instead, I decided to put everything in the freezer and use them as stock seasoning, that way the icky woody bits can be fished out w/ the rest of the refuse. I've been working on black and white thinking like that, telling myself I dont need to be married to the first idea I have, and it's okay to pivot, I dont need to have a melt down if it improves the situation, even if it isnt the original plan. I think clinging to plans can be really hard for neurodivergent folks so I'm excited to finally get somewhere w/ the concept. ^^
Oh oh! A moonkip told me there's like a way to make conversation tabs for moonkips to post their own pics in chat somehow on Patreon but, I hafta look into it. There's just so many things in the air for the forseeable future IRL for me rn, but I wanna look into it! I just feel like my head is full of other info right now and nothing else is sinking in until I get some things off my plate so please look forward to that and I appreciate your patience!
I got to spend some free time on things that would make me feel whole instead of just good enough to do more work too! I returned to trying to learn digital painting! I included some >w< ❤️
I was wondering, do you guys like symbolism in art? I think it'd be fun to make speedpaints while I talk about the art until it finishes. I notice understanding the background reasoning of stuff helps me expand my own reality and understand more from different points of view and I enjoy that so think others might too.
Oh and we got Kupo a freakin ostrich bone for xmas!! He loves ittttt >w<
Its been so snowy, we haven't had much to do but I did pick up my favorite plant the other day and saw all these stickers and some of them give me hope, so I hope you feel better knowing there's resistance too. ❤️
Alright, that's been my cozy, quiet adventures for this month so far, what are you lovely beans up to? What did you get for the holidays? I can't wait to hear from you~! <3
