#been through a bit myself

[mxxnlightwriting]

reminder that more often than not, it's important to take breaks from writing instead of forcing yourself through it. listen to your body and intuition.

i say this as someone who writes almost every day. sometimes, that isn't sustainable. sometimes, you need to take breaks from your projects because you're tired from working on them. i have to admit that understanding when to stop and take a break is a skill in itself, but with time, you will master it. you've got this. if not today, then tomorrow.

today, you rest. tomorrow, if you feel like writing, great! if not, rest a bit more. you know yourself better than anyone else. so trust yourself to know when to get back into writing. and don't punish yourself for not doing it.

it looks like it's going to be a hot night

#touhou #touhou project #remilia scarlet #touhou project jumpscare. I beat 6 on normal difficulty and Ive been playing 8 on and off. I'm a fairly casual fan but I'm having fun #making myself take a break from drawing full illustrations for a bit due to exhaustion from [graduating/moving/job search/mental illness]- #-but fortunately this gives me a chance to dig through some unposted art drafts... I still really like this remilia :)

#kirby series #kirby triple deluxe #no characters to tag today! #i made myself a new desktop background. if you like you are free to use it also. #it was fun to draw something in this style again. maybe we'll see more of it in the future? #headcanon time i think the castle here was left overgrown and in a state of disrepair after tdx. not at all a priority for the people- #who ended up in charge. who i think are probably the people of the sky. #apologies for the infrequency in posting! i've been drawing but it's all doodle sheet type stuff which i bet you guys are sick of by now. #i'd really like to be able to make more complete pieces but i'm in a bit of a creative rut atm. maybe when tablet come it will get better? #who's to say. certainly not me. #...if you read this all the way through you win a cookie.

wanted to adapt the google search results a gay woman got in a japanese drama "tsukuritai onna to tabetai onna" which is good btw.

#witch hat tag #orufrey #the most light and gentle version of flirting-like behaviour of all time - a mutual passing thing - a peaceful dance through the long years #a way to work you out.. a way to express something about myself. all these steps are leading up to that beautiful magic #that you read about once. but actually we've been making it all this time... many many steps to this wonderful recipe. #the only non-perfect & non-fated thing about them is that oru is gay but (imo) qif could easily be transfem at any time. don't test him #oru being a woman wouldnt change anything for qif but oru is gay as hell.. However if qif was a woman then it'd be fine anyway no doubt. #oru would give in his membership to the Gay Men's Picnic Club group he goes to and embark on this life instead..many such cases #also i was typing “am i gay” into google when drawing tsukutabe fanart to check what google looks like #and “am i depressed” was the autofill for “am i”. qif's life is like: maybe he would have looked up something like oru did #but he got a bit distracted and started reading about cptsd instead which seemed more pertinent. sometimes childhood goes this way <3 #anyway Tsukuritabe..Kinou nani tabeta...And witch hat kitchen.... the trio of gentle silly 30+ gay couple situations..ohh.. #orufrey are the combo of those. like tsukutabe they aren't together yet. like kinou nani tabeta they are a long-term couple. beautiful #i will never let go of them. drawing this has cheered me up. they are with me

#okay sorry for venting but i’ve been processing that session for months #like im the one who fucked up that session because i couldnt make myself say anything and actually naming any problem i have #felt like im begging to have a bunch of excuses #and god that paychologist really made me feel like i imagined all of that for attention and now im back here again and im once again #realizing my brain is just fucked up and what do i do now because if i went to a session now #i would be in the same situation where i can’t say anything that actually bothers me #so i guess im in deep shit forever or at least until i stop having some fucking mental block or whatever #im just fucking tired bro……. #she told me everyone is a little bit autsitic and that’s it WHAT #bro if i had little enough symptoms of whatever that i could do stuff by myself anyway i wouldnt fucking be ghere paying 200zł for the most #ruining hours of my life thank you so much. #instead i have to use everyone in my life as a crutch because i literally just can’t function without help IUOUOUGHHH #god im so sorry okay im gone im just really going through it rn #vent

to love someone is to heal someone

#~ art #♥️ memoryshipping #ignore tags if youre just here for the art and not me going full diary mode #anyways ... this is a little personal to me #especially with how i treat her here. i think this is a direct projection of how i'm feeling right now #today has been a little harsh on me - maybe a little painful even #i'm okay now - because i resolved it. albeit harboring some bits of anger to it but its not worth fighting about anymore #its hard to say that i'm - very optimistic so to speak because it's only one pillar i just jumped over and there will be more later #and this is me coping with it and im lucky to have mustered some energy to at least express it through drawing #i havent been drawing much for myself and it makes me sad because its my source of happiness #my time for drawing is being repurposed for other stuff right now and it still is and i dont feel entirely happy doing it unfortunately #i still have many things i want to follow up on my drawing list especially in my recent interests peaking again #but i resorted for now to making something im already used to. stevaide lol fgsjsddsjjsdjkghsdjgdjkhskjghshsgsasjhjsjksdjfhsfasgs corny ass #rest assured im at a somewhat relaxed state right now. throwing boops here and there calmed me down because theres people around me #who ig thinks im cool eajdhajhd #ahh anyway

*hands you keykid drawing i finally finished after a month*

#kingdom hearts #khux #kh #oc: dalia #if i wanted to really sell this as kh fanart i should’ve drawn her keyblade. but i lazy’d out again unfortunately #just trust me when i say it’s my keykid and not an entirely original character lol #this is dalia she’s very sweet and gentle (<- doesn’t know about the Horrors this mobile game is about to put her through) #she can be a bit forgetful and tends to be late #she doesn’t get mad at ephemer for standing her up bc she arrived to the fountain late lol #and assumed he had been there but left bc she wasn’t #even after she finds out that’s not the case she’s very understanding (but still a bit sad) #my art #mine: kh #this was almost purple. then i had to stop myself and say you have used purple TWICE in your last three drawings #i like Purple #i kinda rushed this i confess i was like eh i’ve got bigger things to work on #just needed to finally cross something off the list

This goes hard

#i am the op #jus sum doodly doos #pizza tower #peppino spaghetti #fake peppino #the caption was ​the only thing consistently going through my mind while drawing this #does this fuck as hard as I think it does #I didn’t intend to add that many details but then I showed this to mom and now I have to physically restrain myself from adding more #because I know the background would be next and that would be hell #it all started with the suggestion to draw the zipper… #she did help me with that claw hand because man it was bugging the both of us #perspective’s probably a bit jank in places but I can’t keep working on this any longer #this somewhat pertains to a timeskip au I’ve been rolling around in my head since June #I just know tumblr image compression bunked the quality

[adhdandcomics]

are you not wearing a mask anymore?

great question, i do wear masks indoors in public! however as a cartoonist who’s main form of humor is through expression work i just hate drawing them sooooooo so much

#so i don’t draw them #unless it’s specifically for a bit related to that #i think they also specifically date a lot of my art in a way i’m not fond of. i like to draw mouths and faces #text #i hope that makes sense #if you’re referring specifically to my last post though yeah i obvs took it off to sip on my drink #/eat my tapas #lol #edit again sorry: i don’t think ive ever actually referred to myself as a cartoonist before and meant it. #it feels cool and nice. like yeah that’s what i do. i draw and write comics. i make cartoons!! #that’s unrelated to the ask but. i like that word. it feels good to not feel impostery to say that #even if my stuff recently has been. shall we say. scribbly and or unpolished #been going through interesting relationships with art recently #ANYWAY HOW ARE YOU!

new rgg fans will never know what they missed back in ye olden days of the fandom (like, 2019), doubly so now that scott strichart's deleted his twitter and jon riesenbach's privated. twitter was so fucking fun and then whatever-the-hell at sega of america happened and caused a fucking snowball effect and now we have shitass localization and resulting discourse that makes every release nigh unbearable, misinformation, confusion, people complaining about "bad writing/mischaracterization" not realizing it's because of the shitass english loc, i'm sitting here like jesus christ these loc bitches massacred saejima's character voice, people will never see him as he was intended, as original yakuza 5 localization Correctly painted him, and now they're coming for kiryu. god help us. we used to be a proper fandom. before everyone was subjected to the remastered localizations and shaky eng characterization. no one had even played yakuza 3-5, people still called morning glory "sunshine" orphanage, kiryu was our only protagonist and people still called him "boring", it was beautiful...

anyway gaiden uses affective instead of effective because the current localization team is full of careless dumbasses who don't give a fuck about ensuring they're using correct english grammar and this is not an isolated incident

#ada speaks #ive been playing through the series again from 0-5 and. yeesh #it goes from LIFE IS GOOD. LOC IS GOOD. to. oh. #yakuza 5's original localization is near perfect and they couldve made it better but instead #they opted for the cost cutting approach and decided NOT to retranslate and instead #just fucking. re-localized the localization and SO much is wrong. so much. #im playing simultaneously with a friend (myself on ps3 them on pc) and seeing the differences #and it happens in y3r and y4r too where #the original line is localized > the remastered line takes it and runs with it bc they have no original translation context #ie. in 3 rikiya says he likes 'wild' dancers. (re: strip club) it gets localized to be him liking 'aggressive' dancers. #in 3 remastered he says he likes AGGRESSIVE DOMINEERING WOMEN and that gets his Gears Turning #or. in 5 shinada says that uno is 'a little sad up top' re: his hair. and 5 remastered he says 'kinda mopey' #because they misunderstood the original english loc and so. completely fucked up the line to mean something else entirely #its like broken telephone #the same is SOMEHOW also happening in 8... i dont know HOW but somehow it fucking is #meanwhile im revisiting zero and going OH YEAH GOOD CHOICE. THAT MAKES SENSE. GREAT WRITING. WOW THAT'S AN A+ INTERPRETATION OF THAT LINE. #i miss the old loc team so bad. bring me back. #its mostly frustrating because i can see the shitass eng writing and still enjoy the game beneath it (unless it's not voiced.) but #i feel so bad for everyone flying blind and forced to take the loc at face value #its been like this since lost judgment but the main story was Fine (if a bit rushed) because. scott was still doing his thing #the substories in lost judgment also felt like they were of the same calibre (shit.) as remastered and. idk. #it seems like its been a shitshow at SoA behind the scenes for Years #and it shows.

ysee, i believe people can do whatever they want in their fanart + headcanons, though i myself am not really big on headcanoning appearances for characters we never see bc i don't have a very strong visual imagination and it just doesn't super interest me

however, i also believe that if you draw the protagonist of slay the princess (or any of the voices or the narrator) without a beak then you are a coward

#hes a fucking BIRD DUDE #if you draw him as Some Guy but with feathers you are weak #also we *do* see the narrators face so we *know* he has a beak in canon #ive been going through the slay the princess tag and i am surprised at how many beakless designs there are #also part of me wants to draw fanart of the protag paralyzed in fear during the nightmare route #but i dont really wanna lock in a design for him #so im at a bit of an impasse #with myself #slay the princess #slay the princess spoilers

The main elements of Harrow are complete! This is my first cosplay, which feels fitting because it's a meld of all of my favorite things: space fantasy, medieval fantasy, and a heavy dose of religious iconography. I wanted to really lean into the latter and took inspiration from Catholic reliquaries. Everything is built from a plastic skeleton, cardboard boxes, foam clay, and luck; these photos were taken on the front-facing camera of my phone.

#the locked tomb #tlt #tlt cosplay #harrow the ninth #harrowhark nonagesimus #harrow cosplay #i'm so happy with how this came out. i've never worked with foam clay before #a little bts: i've been working on this in bits since april #and all through summer while studying for one of my comps #and i took these photos the week before i took the comps as a distraction but didn't post them #and i felt like i would be jinxing myself if i shared them #but i passed my first round of comps!!! just got the results back
