What's a man got to do to optimise prime lenses here? I want to take reasonably good photos without breaking the bank but I feel like I'm getting bogged down by the maths. Will I always be held back by this unexceptional camera or is it perfectly capable if you're not a retard?

The 35mm f2 IS is more useful (even on ff)

I feel like it or me is just not responsive enough that by the time I figure out the focal lengths, the lighting, the shutter speed, the aperture I miss the moment and the photograph is dark and blurry anyway and I'm not a complete mature but something is preventing me from going to that next level of competence and I don't know if it's because I've got a starter camera

Let me guess: you will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever post a bunch of photos you took so we can give you suggestions, right?

>the photograph is dark and blurry
This is just knowing how to use a camera. If you don't know what the actual problem is, your pictures may very well be just as dark and blurry even with something much better.
If your photos are too dark, change your exposure settings, same as you would with any other camera.
There are different kinds of blurry. If it's blurry because of movement, either you or the subject, use a faster shutter speed. If it's blurry because not enough is in focus, use a narrower aperture. If it's blurry because the focus is wrong, learn your focus system better.
