my mental health took a very sudden sharp decline this week out of nowhere leading to not much at all getting done, which has had me finally realizing that what i'm doing now just isnt sustainable, there's a lot i cant do anymore because of schizophrenia and i need to face the fact that i am functionally much less capable than i used to be and i need to seriously accommodate for that

while ive debated whether or not i can/should still do animation as a job, i've decided im gonna stubbornly stick around and see what i can do, so after this current animation's done a lot is gonna be changing! namely, i've decided im gonna drop 18fps and start drawing way more loosely, animating primarily at 12fps (with little splashes of 24fps where appropriate), and i'm gonna be strict about not doing paper animation since it takes a lot of energy to actually convert the frames to digital with my setup

i dont really have much more to say about that, other than 'hey its not so bad' because ideally it would allow me to be more dynamic/expressive with my animation and drawings when i have less frames to worry about filling in, but i'm not gonna set any expectations because this is entirely to lessen the work load on myself. given i was mentally disabled to begin with and i just got one of The most disabling disorders dropped on my head this year (schizophrenia)

that said, thanks for stickin around! i'd sure be in a much rougher place if i didn't have this job, so i'm doing my best to hold up my end of the deal
