yall with adhd or autism or such ever just get…. bored. like so Painfully bored. like its not “oh hehe i was so bored and i made this” to flex or “oh im so bored bc i have nothing to do” but like a “i am physically incapable of ending this horrible understimulation with any activity i might attempt” and its genuinely fucking painful

btw I’ve found these stretches from the WAK blog very helpful when knitting a lot:

Plus make sure to take breaks regularly - and stop if anything starts to hurt!

especially with gift knitting I know it can be tempting to push through it for a deadline, but it’s really not worth causing long term injury. (And anyone knit-worthy should be understanding of that, imho.) Stay well :)

COMICS!! WHERE??

I'm asking for myself, and any other artist, whom need to know how the comic industry looks right now online; Especially when it comes to promoting their art/comics. It's difficult out there, and I'm sure many are trying to figure out how to work the algorithm in their favour. From the perspective as a creator who wants readers to find their story, we turn to you to ask: where should they turn?

It can be intimidating to pump out self-promos just for the heck of it, especially if you're doing it the wrong way. But it also feels cold and flat, not knowing how to do it or even if you're in the right place.

So! To minimize feeling like we are trying to make a fish swim in concrete over here. Where's the damn water? :'D

Please vote and help an artist out. :( ♥

Found this take on Twitter and I just want to put out there, as a fan author: PLEASE send me a weird cluster of emojis.  A heart.  Send me your keyboard smashes.  Put a single period/full stop and send me that comment.  Send me a gif.  Send me the weirdest takes.  I might end up baffled and spending an hour or two trying to figure out what you meant, but friend?  I am SO GLAD to see you reading my work.  SO GLAD.  Any sign that people are reading it is a surge of dopamine for me.  Please comment.  I am DYING for comments.  Kudos are great but I only get one of those per person per story.  I can get comments from people multiple times!!! I spend, at minimum, 10-20 hours on editing every chapter I put out.  On top of the hours spent writing and rewriting.  I work my ass off and the only thing I ask for in return is for people to read it.  I love making stories to share with people.  I love this process.  I love this community.  I would literally do anything to get more comments.  (And yes I do mean anything nudge nudge wink wink) I get that some people might not feel the same, and I respect that, but please understand that this take from twitter, of don’t send just emojis or we’ll want to block you?  It’s not universal and, dare I say it, it’s rare. GIVE ME EVERY REACTION.  THANK YOU.
