    Could one use “underlying” and “overarching” interchangeably?

    no bc they mean different things

    I agree -- I think underlying is something that's simmering beneath the surface and maybe isn't a big deal - like maybe a small problem within a relationship that's there but not important enough to pay attention to ---- but an overarching problem would be one that encompasses that relationship, like what's his face from Try Guys with his infidelity problem 😋
    I disagree about it being not a big deal. Underlying to me implies a root cause which would be very hard to unearth or eradicate. Like his low self-esteem is the underlying cause for his drug addiction. Or the abuse he suffered in childhood is the underlying reason he kicks the dog. Am I just kind of dark?

    Eta: Underlying gives me the image of a foundational premise or something that is built upon and therefore very important


    Sorry, I’m not familiar with the example you cited though

    I googled and it says it's the basis for something else, so you're right, it could be a cause to a larger problem, but I think the term underlying doesn't necessarily mean that it's a big problem

    Ok so underlying = cause

    Do you think overarching means the entire effect observed after completion? That’s my impression

    Underlying is implicit. Overarching is explicit. This was a fun discussion though!

    It’s OK I’m picturing you in a tweed jacket with leather elbow patches now so that more than makes up for it. Especially when you’re holding the ruler.

    My understanding is that underlying is more implicit, or hidden, whereas overarching is more explicit - out in the open.

    Passed my exam yesterday. Not a great mark but it'll do and lesson learned to maybe take time to actually read the material not just skim through it cause you've set a tight deadline for getting it done cause of a move 🤣

    Mostly contemplating how to participate in "Inktober" this year. There are a lot of different prompts from all sorts of different artists and I haven't decided which I want to utilize.

    It would be pretty sweet if there was a thread dedicated to it tho :D

    I don’t have spooky dreams any more

    From childhood until just a few years ago I had terrible nightmares

    Id dream I could only save one of my parents from hell

    Id dream I was being stalked by demons

    Id dream that everyone had been raptured and I was all alone in the world.

    It’s so good to be free of that. Now, as long as I’m careful about caffeine, my sleep is restful

    I don't either. I have Instagram and other social media, but don't really have a following. I do it for me, so I can improve. I haven't done any large scale projects in a really long time, mostly because I haven't had an art desk to do them out and I'm too old/creaky to sit on the floor anymore and do it like I did in college, lol.

    That is intense. I am so glad your sleep is restful now.

    All my dreams have the same theme. I am trying to get somewhere, but I can't. We don't need Freud in here to break that one down.
