@totalanimefan: hahah, thank you for the push to make the post!
I don't watch a ton of anime, but I have seen some! I've been meaning to give Cowboy Bepop a shot, my boyfriend loves it. Also not the live action, I heard it was an atrocious butchering of the anime. I've seen some of Saiki K and I loved the weird 4th wall breaks and self-awareness. I should give it a full watch! Thanks for the suggestions!
My boyfriend also wants to go through Jojo with me, so that's on the anime to-watch-list, as well.

@maxisconfused: Hey!! I recently (oh my god it was 2020 thats two years ago time doesnt exist) graduated with my BFA in painting/drawing! Animation and doing it through online classes sounds like a boatload of work. I hope its fun and exciting though! Freshman year for me was incredible and exhausting. I swear they throw as many tedious assignments at you as possible in order to weed out people. They basically said as much at my college hahah. They also make all the freshman art courses start at 8am.
Also oo what your favorite crystals from your collection?
Mystic Mondays is so colorful! I always see it on insta. My current decks are the Prisma Visions deck (almost van gogh-esque in the way the brush strokes are), the Ethereal Visions deck (art nouveau inspired), and the Normal Tarot deck (which contrary to its name is very abnormal and wonderful)

@jaynaiir: I graduated highschool in 2020! agreed that time does not exist tho LOL
There have been some assignments that seemed unnecessary, but I've been getting things done fine. The classes are all asynchronous, and they are 8 weeks long, two classes at a time. People really have been like "oh you're on college easy mode" but being mentally disabled, it is still pushing me without overwhelming me to the point of a meltdown.

My favorite crystal I have is in a necklace charm. It's rose quartz, carved into a skull and wrapped in a wire cage. It's super pretty, got it at a ren fair.

@jaynaiir: hi and welcome! I’m also an artist and witch though neither in a professional capacity haha. I also work with crystals and love having plants around when I can (current living conditions don’t allow for it unfortunately)

Don’t really have any show suggestions (my wife and I just watched The Crown and enjoyed it but we’re history weirdos and idk that it’s everyone’s cup of tea, so to speak)

Hope you find something to watch and feel better soon!

@miss sandman: good! I'm glad they added that! I watched it when it first came out back in 2017 and they didnt do that for the US

tw ↓

and they showed the actual s****** in detail without a warning. It was not the best for my mental health at the time

There are some things I think the show did do well though. Like showing how the bystander effect can come into play in a harmful way.

@GoblinsAndTea: Thank you!! I looove Good Omens. I've recently acquired the book too, so I want to give that a read. Atla is also wonderful. I've never heard of the other ones so Im adding them to my check out list, I like your taste so far!

@synth: Thank you! What are your favorite crystals and plants? My current fave crystals that I have are labradorite, satin spar (reminds me of the fortress of solitude for some reason haha), my rutilated quartz tower, and the small piece of lepidolite I have. I honestly have so many other favorites too, but these are my recent faves to work with and look at. As for plants, my apartment is extremely dark. So my plants almost entirely rely on grow lights. My current experiments have been with trying to keep dieffenbachia, bamboo, snake pants, and a prayer plant alive. Otherwise I have pothos and spider plants all over the apartment because they can deal.

@maxisconfused: Don't let people saying that get to you! College in any form can kick your ass. Especially with health problems- mental or physical both! Sounds like you're doing a smart move for you which is all that matters. Work is work whether you are taking it all at once or spreading it out. My brother is currently taking single classes or two classes at a time, and thats what works for him. Honestly I probably should have done the same at some point. College broke me down a few times and left me with a lot to sort through afterward, mental health wise. I also have an autoimmune disease that is agitated by stress, so that was super. My thesis show was actually on it (my thesis was also not paintings despite being a painting/drawing major hahah, my professors were at least lenient with that). Anyway, college rant aside- your rose quartz skull sounds sick!

@jaynaiir: i just watched it and they said if you got mental ptoblems you shouldnt watch it. And i liked it for this warnings. My bf and i are shouting Master of puppets and its so wholesome though xD

@Totalanimefan: Yesss, its wonderful! I watched the original as one of my first animes back when I was in middle school hahah and have rewatched it many times since. I havent gone all the way through the 2019 version yet, but I love that they got the voice actors back for the dub! Jerry Jewell's voice is great and I get excited whenever I recognize it in anything else. I'm just like OH THATS KYO! I've also read a bunch of the fruits basket manga because, before they went back and did the 2019 version, I needed more.
