There's something I've been wanting to draw since last autumn for lesbian visibility week but my mental AND physical health have been at rock-bottom every day... I haven't even opened a blank canvas 🥲
its so difficult to draw anatomy. and objects. and backgrounds. and clothing. and colors. and lighting. i honestly dont know how i ever managed to draw anything in my entire life
Emotional rock bottom... so many friends have expressed emotional care for me in the last few months which has kept me going and yet I feel more alone than ever
My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.
I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think “Well, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot more” so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that “10” is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said “6” because I thought “Well, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.”
An early pride posting (by like... a month and a bit but it's also Lesbian Visibility Week so I'll use that excuse) by posting the finished piece of Alcina on the beach. We know she'd just VIBE with those old school 50's swimsuits.
person who takes the majority of hits for their team, not because they're necessarily more durable than the rest of them, but because they think they deserve it more
"You're almost as beautiful as the weather today" said +60-year old man who then later cornered me at the water fountain, asking if I was in college to which I replied I had long finished and was met with a "brains and beauty" remark.
