  1. Past hour
  2. Time should be murdered or put in prison or something. It shouldn't be past 9 already. It feels like I just woke up. I woke up at like 10:30 because I couldn't fall asleep until the AMs, idk what I did then at 12 had a coaching call with my health and wellness coach, and then I meditated and drew a little... and now it's 9. I guess I wrote those posts, they took like 30 minutes. Still doesn't explain this atrocity. It's not helped by the fact 12+ hours of my time is wasted in bed because for like 4-6 of them I'm just laying there, but this still seems crazy... I might just wait until 2am to go to bed or something because I don't fall asleep until after that anyway, but going to bed after midnight is so not ideal. Eh, of course I feel a longing to go to bed since it is after 9 though, and don't feel like doing anything. but because of things, I haven't even been up 12 hours yet, so my chances of sleep are low tummy hurts, so I know it isn't just peanutbutter that causes it. I think sometimes peanutbutter makes it unbearably worse for some reason, but sometimes it obviously doesn't cause stomach pain, and then I get stomach pain without it, so idk
  3. Yesterday
  4. an example of super goku being different than other gokus in super he couldn't understand why vegeta might want to be there for bulma for the birth of his second child... i think Z goku would understand... in Z, he misses his own party celebrating him because he was too busy sitting next to a few eggs of (I forget, a dinosaur or dragon or something), along with a bunch of other animals, waiting for them them to hatch, along with the eggs' parents... waiting there doing nothing for hours just to see their birth, coming into existence... It feels like super goku would never do that. If he was going to miss his own party, it would be because he is training at king kai's or beerus' planet or something. They aren't the same people at all. Super goku just constantly does or says things that don't feel like goku to me, at least not as he is presented in z and gt another thing super does is emphasizes goku's love of fighting strong opponents to the point he claims he doesn't even know he is saving the world/not really intending to save the world, only intending to fight strong people because it is exciting Z goku certainly finds fighting strong people exciting, to a fault, to the extent he asked for vegeta to be spared simply because he knew no one on earth could give him a challenge anymore and vegeta might be his only hope and bar to jump over. He did the same with piccolo jr as well, but he also didn't want to kill kami so there is a double reason (in the original funimation dub he asks for vegeta to be spared because he is hoping he will have a change of heart and wants to give him another chance) that said... I feel like Z goku is certainly intimately aware he is saving the world and doing what he is doing because he doesn't want to see innocent lives destroyed. He's just lucky that that also happens to be very fun for him, kind of anyway. I feel he has more fun fighting people he knows isn't trying to kill people. Super goku doesn't care either way though There is a good comparison someone drew that I think kind of explains some of their personality differences. Let me see if I can find it the left is the actual manga, the right is what that scene would look like with super's goku's personality time to eat rice yeah, speaking of goku... enjoys fighting for the sake of fighting, really pure. I've always said I would like to be like that but with drawing, but I haven't obtained it yet. I will try to think of it differently, but I'm not sure how. I guess I have to try. It's hard to not want to draw because you want to create something good Hmm. Thanks now time to eat rice. actually make eggs, then eat rice wait, also wanted to say it is annoying the super goku doesn't know what meditation is/finds it to be a waste of time. that's like going as far as a plot hole. meditation was taught to him by kami and popo, and is one of the main reasons he was able to defeat piccolo jr. also lol, piccolo primarily trains by meditating and if it wasn't for his transformations piccolo would arguably be stronger than him. Also in z in the anime at least, he goes out of his way to meditate on his own. no clue how this guy has ultra instinct, which to me sounds like the just happeningness quality of awakening and seems evidently related to no-self. though it's also similar to mr popos training... so i was surprised it was a thing oh well. rant done for now. have fun My posts look a lot worse on phone
  5. it's all in your mindset. when you add in expectations and outside goals, things can become stressful, but if you are just learning for the sake of learning, and not thinking about building up a whole skill, it will be fun. your problem is that you're focusing too much on the results when you should be focusing on your process. if you are having fun working on your shapes, then it can't be a waste of time. with other stuff, you just have to learn to engage with it on its own level and you'll realize that it can be interesting too i like your drawings, and i don't think that they're flat, but i don't have the eye of an artist

    i also wanted to ask about stabilizing but i think if a creature has more than 0hp it is auto stabilized.
  7. an old amv. it's entertaining
  8. I guess I have to change it, my weebness is degrading my english lol also I'd ask you what is your favorite fight in dbz but you've only watched the buu saga apparently, and idk if you've seen any of the movies it's hard for me to pick a favorite... i like goku vs piccolo jr a lot. it's crazy how they kept the fight on the bubudai or whatever it is called the entire time, even after the super explosive wave (I swear a fighting stage is called a bubudai, I may be on crack though) Piccolo vs 2nd form frieza I think is the first time the "they're invisible except for massive sonic explosions happening all over the sky" effect is used ssj grade 4 goku vs perfect cell is great... i also like goku vs majin vegeta as for movies, ora no gohan wo kaese (movie 1) goku's fight with garlic jr.'s goons is amazing lol. movie 7 of broly devastating everyone is entertaining. mui goku vs jiren for the first time in the 1 hour special was done well iirc nothing stands out in memory from heroes unfortunately. The fighting in it is a lot more generic I think, but i haven't seen all of it Oh, I forgot gt. The fan least favorite arc of gt is the super 17 arc, but I love that arc, especially in english. 17 is so rad with his one liners. idek what he says in japanese but it isn't as cool. like omg how can you not like this: -gohan, goten, trunks, and vegeta all go super saiyan, while uub powers up, surrounding super 17- super 17: it's flattering to see the kind of show you put on for your most dangerous enemies, but ultimately it's meaningless. let me show you what I mean -floats into the sky and rains ki on them all, they're all now down covered in rocks and badly damaged- then vegeta's brilliant S tier line after this -vegeta stands up after that- super 17: I admire your ability to stand up after that vegeta: AND I ADMIRE YOUR ABILITY TO DIE!!! FINAL SHINE ATTACK!!! yeah this arc is very entertaining to me -super 17 punches goku so hard he flies to the other side of the earth- -goku flies back in a flash and super punches super 17 in the stomach presumably and he's hunched over now- -reveals 17 just caught his punch with his hand- super 17: you can imagine my disappointment -holds him in the air and starts beating him in the face- -super 17 slams ssj4 goku into a cliff wall- ssj4 goku: IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT?! -super 17 immediately appears inches from his face- super 17: no -smashes him miles into the earth- just the way he says things lol. so matter of factly "no" then for omega shenron in the japanese some of his lines gives me cold chills. while ssj4 goku is hopelessly but stalliantly fighting omega shenron: omega shenron: lift this burden off your shoulders. you've already suffered so much for everyone. pleasant feelings await you as you rise to heaven lol it makes me want to tear up yeah i really don't know why gt is hated, though i think many have come around. it's more of a 2000s thing to hate gt i think. the black star dragonball arc left a bad taste in people's mouths I guess, and it is far from perfect, but further from being bad. oops i typed a lot again. was in mood to share my interests again I guess. sorry it actually doesn't look so bad on review, it is all spaced out and many lines aren't long before spacing down. i've made longer posts that were completely dense textwalls oh yeah, some people dont' like goku becoming a kid again but i don't see what is wrong with it. gt goku as a kid is more intelligent and wise than dbs goku... feels like a real continuation of z goku. i feel like super changed his personality. goku is my favorite character but only for db/z/gt... well maybe super too but he doesn't feel like the same person and isn't my boy
  9. no, wide is definitely normally read as "very wide in one direction specifically", not "wide in both directions" I think we've rarely seen it used just to mean big but that's not what comes to mind probably expansive or synonyms (or you could just say big/large lol)
  10. Figured it out Preview of the wip of the second page. 3 panels away from disaster striking. I really hope my drawings end up better than the ones I did in the hospital without reference or anything... Byakko has a higher chance of being okay. As for me... uh lol. I've neglected my ability to draw males. If I was still on drawing my dbz stuff that'd be great. Oh I have a lot to work on... At least I'll have reference now... I should make it colored too, that'd be cool. It is like 49 pages so uh... it will take a while. I'm concerned about lineart. Not my specialty also is it normal to say something is wide to mean it is big? It's occuring to me that sounds a little strange maybe, but I think I said it because you can say something is hiroi or wide in japanese to mean it is huge, but maybe it doesn't work that way in english, lol. Maybe it's okay. Or maybe I should change it I didn't show first page because it has my name in it... I copied the first page exactly as i wrote it in the hospital, which was a bunch of back and forth dialogue with one drawing. I could maybe update that to be a couple pages with speech bubbles... then my name wouldn't have to be in the picture. Hm. I don't want to start over though lol Oh, I was about to say it sucks that the amount of pages is predetermined so if you don't know how many pages your comic will be you will either have to start a new file when you run out or have a bunch of empty pages if you overcompensated... but you can add and remove pages, so that's cool. Even put them inbetween other pages. So I will change the first page completely. I see a lot of pages will need changed, actually, so I wonder how to plan this out. I wonder if I should reference the fight this was based on or the comic I drew from memory... I think I will reference the comic more. Time to look at a bunch of db manga fights so I can uh... have it not suck too bad, maybe, lol.
  11. Sure. I haven't done many of those And speaking of art, idk how to just view my comic as it is to see what it would look like... it seems you can export it as a pdf or png or whatever else, but idk what it is actually doing. I click for it to do that, then it says exporting is finished and presents me nothing. hmm
  12. No way, simmie has stal What if you did an art trade with me sometime, TB
  13. I see. The old nurse that used to give me my shots always criticized me when she'd come in my apartment and see me sitting in the dark. She said sitting in the dark could contribute to my depression and told me to keep the lights on, so I started doing that ever since. She also said sunlight is good and walks and drink enough water That's the hard part I never got very well. Sucking is not fun and idk how to have fun while learning. Learning certain things can be fun in a vacuum but the concept of building up a whole skill comes off as extremely stressful and demoralizing to me. My senpai also said I need to learn to have fun and then improving will be easy. How do others have fun? Is there a way to make yourself have fun if you don't usually have fun? Drawing things I like to draw is fun assuming I don't draw extremely ugly things, but it seems that isn't a way to get better well... you have to train your ability to draw shapes in 3d space together convincingly and do gesture drawings and study anatomy, all of which is stressful, confusing, and boring. I probably enjoy the shapes the most but also feel awful about them because I've worked so hard on that and have then still gotten told my drawings are flat, meaning all my efforts were wasted. Idk if you all think my drawings are flat. I'm really self conscious about that. My mentor has spent years trying to get my drawings unflat and idk if they are... I think last I asked they said it isn't black and white, they can be less flat and not fully dimensional but not fully flat. So I'm somewhere inbetween unless I got better again I'm glad the bunny riven made you happy, lol. Part of me wonders if I should go through and upload a lot of old drawings I like somewhat, or redraw them maybe. Fear of the redraw coming out worse though... real possibility for me
  14. i often struggled with this sort of thing in k-12 school as well. the thing is, don't actually struggle with essays in general, but in school they would almost always give prompts that didn't resonate with me, and it would take a long time to find an angle where i thought that i actually had something worth saying. but in college and outside of school, i have a lot more freedom to write about things that are more meaningful to me, so i don't struggle at all. you might be the same you need to learn to have fun when learning, and not think of doing something poorly as failure, but as another step towards improvement
  15. We also struggled immensely with writing essays Ring, which sounds a lot to me like our brains have a commonly occurring propensity towards certain ways of thinking and not others definitely a lot of people are just in the middle somewhere too though and idk TB I can't find a post where you gave advice recently but when I read the rice thing I thought it was the second time you've said something that stood out as good/useful recently so idk, maybe our brain is just considering the bunnygirl drawing useful lol but I did forget to answer the second part of this post first of all, blood tests can literally see all standard deficiencies like low vitamin D but you're also always safe to just take a 1000 iu vitamin D vitamin along with whatever generic vitamins you're taking, or 2000 iu if you think you're deficient & still taking some other generic multivitamin For some reason in our family's experience when someone is vitamin D deficient they just prescribe you like 6000 iu per day or something for like 6 months and then stop, after which you become deficient again, I don't get it, so yeah just take a 1k or 2k in addition to other vitamins every day if you don't get decent amounts of time in the sun and no, pretty much nothing but direct sunlight will work, ie car glass filters enough of the sun out you won't really get vitamin D (but could still eventually get sunburn, hypothetically) and double-replying to the first part that I kinda indirectly answered the first time, but yes you need a lot of B vitamins, they should all be a lot higher than "100%"

  17. How do I break my limits glad I'm apparently on a roll I feel crippled when it comes to gaining skill though lol. The tremendous suffering that went into getting to my drawing level is incredibly unreasonable and I'm not that good for having caused such depression in myself due to my failures hmmm... like things don't click for me easily and Idk what I'm supposed to do to make them click. Eara's the same way... some of my characters have certain qualities of mine Then there is kyouiko, who is hyper competent. Boy I wish I could be like her lol
  18. Some of it is predisposed, some of it isn't Better to just try and do something about it anyway
  19. i don't believe that the propensity is real, or at least, isn't an inherent quality of one's neurology. if you have gotten good with one skill, your way of thinking about the activity associated with that skill may carry over for some activities better than others, but if you're good at adapting your paradigm to fit with new things, then anything can "click" i don't think that i struggle categorically with "logical" stem subjects or "creative" art subjects, and i don't approach them in different ways from each other or perceive them as being fundamentally different at all. being good at art requires logic skills, and being good at math requires creativity i think that people who think that they are only good with one category of subject are limiting their potential based on whichever stuff they latched on to first
  20. This is me when any essay-style assignment comes up. There's a whole can of worms to that issue, but the long and short of it is that it apparently runs in the family and I'm stuck with a bunch of neurons that can't come up with words for the life of me I was probably being too ambitious with the "just fix it" thing yeah, I'll just revise that and say that the learning curve's based off of the extent to which you can recover and git gud from Maybe the answer will come to me when I actually start typing essays You're on a roll, TB.
  21. Really? Wow. I'm glad. I'm not sure what advice I've given, lol, except I see the one about rice I guess. What was the other one? Also think I'm figuring out the comic making features on my own kind of, except idk what these borders mean or what it will look like when done. But I've made panels and speech bubbles with text, and could save it. Last time it wouldn't let me save and I didn't know why But yeah it feels very good to be helpful if I can Also propensities, lol. Uh... I feel like I'm bad at both logic and creativity, so idk what I am. I want to be creative desperately, but my mind fancies concrete answers and understanding things in words rather than "intuitively" so I think it is logic brained that wants to be creative but is also not very good at things like math. I wonder how my math skills would be if I wasn't homicidally depressed in 8th grade and unable to stay awake in highschool math.
  22. the propensity is real though, we don't just know math and logic stuff better than some people because we were forced to do some in school, our brain naturally clicks with logic concepts better than some people (like our brother, who struggles a lot with math but is an artist), but then it doesn't click with creative stuff, where some people see a blank canvas and easily just start doing whatever, we get analysis-paralysis and take a very long time to do the most basic of things but yeah I said it COULD be improved both in my second-to-last AND third-to-last posts, c'mon the odds of jean-luc doing something increase from nearly zero to nearly a hundred when you message him about it well, but doing the podcasts isn't easy and idk if he's as tied into the environment now but he'll probably update the lotpw leaderboard at least, lol btw TB a couple of your posts the last couple days have had useful advice, ty
  23. How can I draw my comic Idれwインてぇほsぴたl I drew in the hospital. keyboard was in japanese. it managed the first part of the sentence then broke down for some reason lol 日本語とても下手です。残念 I'm just going to try to start. This might be miserable. Also I did try to start using the comic making tools but I don't understand how they work and idk where to learn as YouTube is useless. So I guess I'll just make them using normal art files? That seems kinda lame
  24. @jean-luc The date’s already been decided!
  25. but it was a question of 'if', not 'when'!
