I’m not fucking around anymore day 5

5-25-18 – 5-26-18

Was tracking some stuff late and got a bit caught up in some things so i didn’t get the opportunity to write one of these last night.

but! I did get to try out an app my friend @revolutionaryduelist reccomended me. It’s called fabulous and so far it’s living up to its name, but it may just be my optimism for self improvement… or someone else’s seeping into mine.

But lets talk about self improvement apps the actual point of them.

We talk a lot about self-care on the left, but I don’t often see us talking about how to do it most effectively and efficiently, or about tools to make it easier. 
So i think its really important case is doing the exploratory work they’re doing.

Personally, I can say I would not be producing the quality and quantity of output I’ve been producing if Fabulous hadn’t made practicing self-care scientifically, efficiently, and flexibly so much easier. I highly recommend it.

Tagora is the opposite of this

Instead of paying him to stop talking, you have to pay him for everything he says.

And based on the fact that a few of the times he made this expression, there seemed to be no cause…

And the fact this is on his troll call card, and that he communicated with his lusus by them just looking at each other…

I think it’s because he really hates talking to people, so you have to pay him to talk.

Also, on a side note:

I love his lusus.

i was expecting to love this guy as a villain, not a friend. more the fool i am. holy shit this is adorable im losing it 

If you like The Little Prince so much why don’t you play Oneshot? (in Nightmargin’s own words: “yes! OneShot is basically an little prince AU fanfic with robots x)”)

Oh shit, I didn’t know that! That definitely makes me want to play it like immediately omg, thanks for letting me know. Has nightmargin written more on the subject? I’d be really interested to see.

I actually HAVE played Oneshot part of the way through, before the update that added stuff I think? I really wanted to finish it, the only reason I haven’t is that I’m so so busy I haven’t had time to play games much at all, honestly.

I made some edits to the structure that I think make it a lot easier to get into and added some real good tracks, so I figured I’d repost my Keep Rising mix. Still a little disorganized towards the end but the first 10 or so tracks feel like a nice ride.

I use this playlist to motivate and energize myself, mostly-sorta self care by way of seeking out music that pulls me towards what I want to be my emotional center. Please let me know if it helps you out at all–it’d make me really happy.

i just saw a really bad negative review of friendsim on steam and it made me mad so

i thought id mention one of the most helpful things we can prob do for friendsim rn is just leave it positive reviews to boost the score and reception if we like it.

positive attention and press is everything for wp right now–the more the friendsims succeed, the more money and resources wp has, the sooner hiveswap act 2 can happen, the sooner wp’s excellent laid-off staff can be hired back

i really think this fandom needs to remember that homestuck‘s ridiculous hype was generated entirely by word of mouth. homestucks were the ones who funded and created undertale, which reached similar levels of hype again through word of mouth.

this community has and continues to demonstrate its own power–we just need to keep in mind that we have it. if you want wp to be successful and the artists we love to be re-employed and all that, the course of action to take is simple:

just talk about the stuff you love about the work this fandom is built around. help other people find it and love it, too. that’s whats going to make the difference in the futures of homestuck and hiveswap.

leave a review on the friendsim volumes if you have the time and you enjoyed them. thats a small first step we can take, that even i hadn’t thought of for some reason.

Anyway, I just wanted to say. Hope this moves you to do or say anything positive for hiveswap that you might not have done otherwise, even if its just reblogging this to spread the thought around. thats really all i can possibly ask for.
