Well, I missed Asexuality Day, but THIS!!

For so many years, I thought I was just “waiting for it to happen,” like one day I’d suddenly find sex appealing because I was supposed to. It took me until college to even learn about asexuality. I still want to fall in love. But I don’t think of myself as broken anymore, or naiive, or sheltered. It just isn’t really that important to me. And that’s okay.

Happy Belated International Asexuality Day from your friendly local Grey Ace! :)

Sex doesn’t make us whole.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL ASEXUALITY DAY!

Listen up. There is literally an app that can help you avoid self harm and I don’t know why we aren’t talking about it.

Calm Harm can be tailored to your needs and will provide strategies to help you get past those crucial moments of wanting to harm.

It’s also totally FREE.

once again, it’s called CALM HARM

Undo the Damage of Sitting

Reblog for people you love!

I was just about to spiral into a bad panic attack, and my boyfriend goes "Stick an ice cube in your mouth." I'm not really sure where he got the idea, and I kinda laughed at it because I didn't see how it would help, but he was insistent. So I did it.

And now I'm on my second cube, because it worked.

Inkathon Day 19: CLEVER

Let's have our leading ladies get a turn, shall we? 😀 • This was so much fun, I love drawing Penny and her fluffy hair! ❤ Agatha may be a girly girl, but she can get her hands dirty when needed. We can always appreciate strong female leads, right?

Inkathon: “Resistance”

Forgive me, it’s not truly inked with traditional tools, but I wanted to post this for Inkathon today! ><

This moment comes in the beginning of Wayward Son when they’re all staying the night in the hotel after Penny visits Micah, and none of them are sure where to go from here.

Even though their relationship is fragile, it still shows Baz is willing to try, which I loved as a tribute to his character after he proved what a jerk he can be in the first book. The resistance is there,  but they aren’t broken yet! :)

Inkathon: “Learn“

Inktober prompt LEARN, from Wayward Son! Let's get some Shepard in here! I thought him and his water spirit friend were a good fit for this one✨

•

"That reminds me." He smiles and slides to the ground, taking off his rucksack. "Brought you some good news" He pulls a novel out of his bag. "I liked this one. Kind of sad. Good jokes though."

"Is it ficcchhhion?"

"Of course," he says, dropping it into the water.

Inktober Begins!!!

Sadly this year, I can’t make the whole thing because of work, my comic, and work for webcomics, but I’ll give it a shot!! What do you think? Have I still got it? Haven’t used my quill in forever!

I’m using lovely @vkelleyart ‘s prompt list, and thought I’d start off with Carry On as a companion series to hers for Wayward Son, by Rainbow Rowell!

Day 1 is DRAMATIC!!

"It's unnecessarily grandiose to use 'Open Sesame' on the doors, but I do it anyway because I know everyone will be in the dining hall, and I may as well make an entrance."

WIP Wednesday

Hey all! I usually don’t time it this well, but I have stuff for WIP Wednesday! lol

Today I’m working on the“Fifth-Year Fantasies” page for my Ko-Fi where Baz remembers this as a very treacherous time in his life. Mainly when he couldn’t decide whether he wanted to kiss Simon or kill him. And which of those would be a worse idea. The angst is real here, imagine a no-win scenario where no matter which poison you pick, it’ll still kill you. I really feel for Baz here, so I want to do the lighting justice.

I’m playing with the colors on this one, because I have a very tricky, but specific mood I want to evoke. I penciled this as a panel where Baz is sitting in their room at Wattford at that time of evening where outside is vibrant and golden, but inside can be quite dark and dreary. Maybe when you’ve just been sitting there so long you forget to turn on the lights because it was sunny when you sat down.

The walls are a more sunset-like orange and brown tones, but Baz pops in the foreground with cooler tones of purple. Dunno if the posters on the wall are working, but I figured they’d be for his sports team or something :/

Also, a BIG thank you to everyone who bought me a coffee this month! You helped me make my book budget so I could get a new read for my birthday!! Thank you so much!! 😊 💜 💜

Have page 2 of “Golden Destiny” as a birthday gift from me to you :) Pardon my messy speech bubbles, I usually clean them up once I go digital. I get the best product still with good old pencil and paper, though!
