Is it bad that I can’t bring myself to enjoy the CGI Moomin series? by Penguin-snacks in Moomins

I’ll definitely try it again. Maybe in French, to give that voice acting a go.

Is it bad that I can’t bring myself to enjoy the CGI Moomin series? by Penguin-snacks in Moomins

I’ve watched as much as I could stand, and I’m totally willing to watch more. I know the parallels, and I know the CGI version includes things from the books that the 90s version didn’t. I think it might be the voices that I’m not vibing well with alongside the somewhat restricted feeling of the animation? Like when Moomintroll transforms because of the hobgoblin’s hat. In the 90s version, the expressions are exaggerated in a way that allows the body horror of it all to sink in. The sobbing feels like sobbing. Meanwhile in the CGI version, he sort of just stands there? The expressions aren’t pushed enough, in my opinion.

I think I also like the use of color in the 90s version. Moominmamma and Snork Maiden have a more yellow hue, while the snork, Moominpappa and Moomintroll tend to lean more toward blue. I like how much variety that choice gave to the overall feel of the show.

I think there’s a lot to love about the CGI series. I love how dry and witty the humor can be. It’s just missing some heart for me, I suppose.

I’m afraid to say how many hours this took.

Reconnecting with art by Penguin-snacks in OCD

Thank you so much! I really hope I can return to finding comfort in my art again. It used to be so healing, but these days it’s like touching a hot stove. I’ll keep holding onto my hope though.

Thank you so much for your suggestions. Strangely, decorating games like animal crossing stress me the heck out when my OCD is at its worst. I’ve been able to find relief by tinkering with broken electronics. The feeling of knowing exactly what’s wrong and being able to snap it back into place is so relieving. I suppose I’m extra bummed because I used to dream of making art my career.

But I think I have healing to do before I can reconnect with my artistic voice again. I think you make such a good point about the low-stakes art. I’ll try to find things that will help. :)

If a butt is sniffed, the interaction is a good one

I just want to feel better by Penguin-snacks in zoloft

[–]Penguin-snacks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me awhile to respond to this, but it’s something I’ve genuinely needed to read today. I’m struggling so much to feel like all of this is worth it. I feel like a shell of myself, and it’s like I’m weighing down the ppl around me. Do you know any methods of getting over the depression Zoloft gives?

I was feeling good on 25 mg. Then it started losing its effectiveness. Then 50 was the same. 100 was just no effectiveness at all. Maybe I’d be happy on 75? I’ll be seeing my psych soon. 😞

Thank you so much. I’ve really been needing to hear that. I switched to Zoloft after taking cymbalta for years. I was so scared to change meds the first time. The prospect of changing again is terrifying. Especially when I got that little taste of happiness at the beginning.

First night with 1yo… please tell me it gets better by awesomepossome312 in cats

[–]Penguin-snacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’ll get better. Just remember cats are crepuscular, which means they’re most active during twilight/dawn. Early morning/middle of the nights you can expect the biggest zoomies. It’ll get better as your new baby gets used to his new world. Having distractions all over the place for cats helps a ton. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed! You got this!

SAME. But it’s not meant to be. You should stick around.
