part 363 paper snowflakes

It's... December! I can't believe it's almost the end of another year. Time is weird. Anyway! There's been a lot of neato Hetalia news in the meantime! That game (that I can't get working but will look at videos and screencaps of so I can play vicariously)! The image of the first doll! The musical promo images!! What are you most excited for?

Enjoy part 363!

cos misery loves company right

i made a new years resolution to be more productive in fandom, because i have been inactive for quite a while (partially due to my irritation with the culture of a couple of my fandoms, but that doesn't solve anything - be the change you want to see, you know).

and then immediately got slammed with a huge project with a crazy deadline. which is fine, mind, because believe me i do need the money and the experience, so on the one hand i'm very happy but on the other hand i have never been more stressed in my life. i have never handled something of such scope and with such a large/prestigious company before. i have also never handled something with such an extreme rush deadline. this last week i found i'm working roughly 14-16 hours a day and depressingly i'm actually a bit behind schedule to meet my swift approaching deadline so it's definitely time for ramping it up to 18-20 hour days, which is fine, i can live on 4-6 hrs sleep i just haven't ever had a situation in which i needed to pull that for three weeks straight.

i'm usually a pretty calm person but for the first time in my life i think i kind of understand when people say they're on the verge of a breakdown. shit's crazy, man.

venting here cos i don't want to vent to friends/family, i mean this is a big break for me and it IS a positive and lucky thing overall and they're all congratulating me so i don't wanna put a downer on the buzz but holy shiiiiiiiiiiiittttttt what am i doing what am i doing wahhhhhh.

alright, i'm done, i feel better now. see you in three weeks, meme o7

That sounds miserable anon and I just hope you can make it through it and then never do something like it again. Yeah the money and prestige are nice but not at the expense of, well, you.
