#comfortable in my skin

Hey all :)

After a really long time, I finally felt comfortable sharing my work! I took a long time to get comfortable with my art style and accept myself as an artist. During this time, I changed my art name quite a few times (scribble>shuntichaha> bluesippycup>sindhumnart) hehe.

I guess I was trying to find my voice and now it feels like I've kind of found it 🤗 (hopefully I don't delete my posts again, hehe)

I feel very excited now and it feels so right with the art setup I've now ---> brush pens that my mom gifted so long ago (filled ink only recently) my new light box that I'm using for tracing line work, old but new empty sketchbooks that I'm using now (finally) 💟

I hope you enjoy sticking with me on my journey as much as I'm enjoying it 😌

Here's the first of many artworks that I'm planning to post here :)

Happy art life to you too 💖

Living Life & Not Being Afraid

I’ve been unable to log in to my Facebook for about over 4 years now. I didn’t remember my password. Now that I’m able to access it, I decided to scroll down my timeline to see all that I had missed. Took a trip down memory lane. You know how Facebook has those “share this memory from ___ years ago”- that was my memory lane.

I got to a video from March 2017. It was when I went skydiving for my very first time. In 2016, I had a girlfriend who said she would want to go skydiving, but wouldn’t do it on her own because she was afraid. I bought her ticket that Christmas as a present. There was no way she could back out then. One thing you should know about the video is- the company shared it with you for a certain amount of time. If you did not save it, you will lose it. What did I do? I didn’t save it in time. I thought I had lost it. All that remained were photos.

To my surprise, the video remained on my Facebook post. With a little bit of ingenuity... okay okay.. some trial and error- I was able to “save” my video.

It is really intriguing to see yourself from 6 years ago and comparing it to the current you. Knowing what you know now in comparison to then and remembering what kind of headspace you were in has been a wonderful insight that has allowed me to give myself compassion.

One thing in the video that stood out was my conversation with my tandem skydiver, Mike. He asked me what the occassion was. I told him I wanted to live life and not be afraid.

I didn’t know then how true those words were. You know how people say, “Don’t think. Just do”. In that moment, the only thought that crossed my mind was, “Why do I want to do this?”. At the time, I was disappointed in myself that I didn’t have some grand speech or words to express. I see now how hard I was on myself. Sometimes, it’s just that simple. I’ve learned it doesn’t have to be grand or over the top. To be honest, as a Leo, I admit I am extra. It used to be a source of shame for me. I thought I had to be humble, demure, put together. In essence, perfect like those characters you see in movies, the heroes and heroines. I could go on a tangent as to probably why I felt like I had to, but we can leave that for another day.

These days, I find myself much more comfortable in my skin. More at ease with the flow of life. Able to give myself credit more easily. Peaceful. Trusting. Accepting. Being.

hello i saw in your tags that you don't think people on here get casey stoner and as someone relatively new into the sport i would love to hear your thoughts <3

(context here) okay first of all, this post will be framed as ‘things I wish people talked about more with regards to casey stoner’, rather than arguing against what I think people think

I've tried to come up with a concise response to this ask but kept heading into thesis-length territory. so I decided to write a bullet point list and it’s still… yeah… but well it could be worse. if you, dear anon, wish to read thousands of words of casey stoner lore then please let me know. otherwise, here are just a few things I find interesting about this bloke:

casey has a very complex relationship with the concept of confidence, both in other riders and himself, in the sense that he KNOWS how important it is but also believes/wishes that he specifically is kinda above all that

this feeds into how he wishes that racing were Just Racing and not all this other stuff… not his brain not his body not other racers being assholes on/off track not talking to journalists or doing photoshoots not having to deal with politics etc etc - central underlying tension of his career

he has openly spoken about not ever really enjoying race day, saying the only thing he's missed after retiring is qualifying. very perfectionist, the anxiety, the over-thinking, craving control… all key casey traits

(which also ties in with the valentino rivalry, because valentino obviously adores racing (in particular wheel-to-wheel battle) but he’s also great at all that other off-track stuff)

some very rigid ideas of How The Sport Should Look, which you can see in everything from how he talks about racing standards to the introduction of CRT riders (he had it OUT for them, head hot every time aleix espargaro shows up in parc fermé) to valentino’s influence on ducati and the importance of the colour red

let him have his mean streak! the grim satisfaction in discussing jorge’s 2008 injuries after his early-season arrogance towards casey, the dismissiveness towards dani, some of the wilder valentino remarks (this isn’t a criticism to be clear, alien-on-alien violence is part of the natural order of things)

casey is a classic case of ‘just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean they aren’t after you’. definitely a suspicious guy and perpetual underdog 'me against the world' mindset. not to get too psychoanalytic-y, but I reckon this was partly born out of how he had to leave australia as a teenager (with his family completely dependent on him succeeding) because of how the racing establishment down under fucked him over

they definitely were out to get him a lot of the time, cf yamaha and then ducati drama plus the slander from some of the greats of the sport, fellow riders, the media etc etc (particularly egregious in 2009 when he was dealing with his mystery illness and a lot of people said some pretty unpleasant stuff in his absence - here is just one example)

his struggles were constantly downplayed. the chronic fatigue misdiagnosed as lactose intolerance led to people calling him weak-minded, broken, running away from the sport (part of why he was so allergic to the idea his results might in any way be connected to what was going on in his head). add in the undiagnosed anxiety and you have all this invisible strife people wouldn't even take seriously

that being said, he definitely did have a propensity for jumping to the worst possible conclusions

two specific examples: firstly from his autobiography, where he makes the claim that valentino may have been sabotaged in the 2006 title decider and was deliberately given a rubbish tyre to make him lose the championship - to which casey’s response was: “welcome to my world, mate”. he does have a tendency to believe he’s being sabotaged, and is constantly on the look out for conspiracies even when they are… unlikely

the other example is mat oxley talking about his issues with casey in his stint working for ducati, partly based on a misunderstanding:

something allegedly written about him in 2001!

let’s just say he can definitely hold a grudge

the moaner stoner stuff was definitely nasty, calling him mopey and whiny and all of that, but he also has never shied away from some good old-fashioned complaining (some of this was a bit of a spiral - complaining for good reason worsening public perception of him leading to more reasons to complain)

see also the lingering marc grudge, who probably did play a significant part in getting casey kicked out of honda (as casey has accused him of). whether marquez prevented stoner from racing in 2015 is more of an open question. casey still speaks about how honda made a mistake by only listening to marc (which, again, does have some truth to it)

casey was always very quick to shut down the idea that momentum, motivation, confidence etc could affect his results (unlike that of his competitors) because he argues he was always very rational & clear-sighted about when things were his fault & when things could be blamed on the bike + extraneous factors. he really goes into detail about this when discussing 2008 laguna seca in his autobiography, which he argues had no effect on him psychologically (but was followed by him crashing out of the lead of the next two races)

has definitely spoken more about his rivalry with valentino than valentino has, which probably has also helped shape perception of it over time

on ‘ambition outweighed talent’ - I feel like people almost understate just what a (hilariously) out of pocket remark it was in context. it was rossi’s second ever race at ducati (and the start of his season was impacted by his shoulder issues) - and the rain meant he had a ~win it or bin it~ approach because he knew it was as good a chance as he might get for some time (despite starting from 12th). the move on stoner for second place was at best optimistic, most definitely impatient and at worst foolish - but sort of understandable in that situation, rossi was definitely rapid, and this stuff can happen in the wet. in that sense, it was obviously more a reaction to the manner of the apology (and his frustration with the stewards) than to what casey himself described as a racing incident

stoner made a remark in his autobiography about how rossi had stolen 25 points in a title battle he was never going to be a part of (oof). whether you're obligated to race title contenders differently is already a bit sketch but certainly should not be a consideration for anybody in round TWO

he was forced to publicly retract the remarks, though he doubled down on them to a deeply funny extent in his autobiography by suggesting they were true of valentino’s entire career and that he’d just benefited from a weak era. rossi mostly took it on the chin especially when interviewed about it for documentaries, probably because with something like that you do just need to take the L

it's understandable how it’s become such a defining image of their rivalry (along with laguna seca), not least because of how evocative the whole thing is - rossi showing up still wearing his helmet, trying to make a PR apology stick while he’s been eating nauseating amounts of humble pie at ducati; stoner casual as you like, pissed off about the points loss while still indulging in schadenfreude about how the Great Big Ducati Adventure is working out for rossi

but again, I think it’s funnier because of just HOW over the top an insult it was in that situation (and more broadly how it does have a different vibe to their interactions when they were meaningfully competing, aka 2007-2008)

in conclusion: casey has his doubts and his insecurities and his obsessions and his foibles… a complicated guy in his own right

and a big thing I’d like to stress here is that the rivalry with valentino does benefit from treating them both as somewhat unreliable narrators

I just think he's neat

#ty for giving me an excuse to be annoying at length about one of my number one guys!!#casey stoner #valentino rossi #motogp #//#cs27 #vr46 #lotsss of other stuff you can go into here. he gets a bit sanitised sometimes I feel which is kinda a shame #u can be justifiably resentful and still be very resentful. spite is still spiteful when it's deserved. same with the misanthropic streak #being called weak-minded really got to him imo - and the thing is he's clearly not (& good lord did some big names say some nasty things)#the autobiography feels almost an overcorrection and then you've got him recently talking more openly about his mental health #(even if not specifically about how it affected him competitively - which is obviously a related but not identical conversation)#it's an uplifting development in a way and it's nice seeing how much more comfortable in his skin he seems these days #but he is also a little bitch :)

I really wanted to draw Draco in the babygirl midriff hoodie, but I’m also gifting this to @mxlfoydraco since they seemed enthusiastic to the idea <3

It was just going to be the hoodie, but then I wanted fishnets. And why not the imprint of his dick...and of course the look wouldn’t be complete without a blushing Harry.

#draco malfoy #harry potter #drarry #babygirl draco #hp fanart #drarry fanart #my artwork #my art #I made Draco entirely too pretty and I honestly could see him wearing this in the The mirror of Ecidyrue verse #i love Draco's style in TMoE so I'm going to pretend this is that #or 8th year draco that's more comfortable in his skin #no background this time #i only put about 4 hours into this but I didn't need more when I have 2 others im working on

I cannot overstate how much joy your dogmen bring me 🫶 Giggling and kicking my feet as I open your blog for my daily dose of miserable babygirls with the most gorgeous ears 🙏

Ah, thank you so much! It warms my heart to hear they're liked!

#answered #anonymous #they've become my extremely self-indulgent center-of-the-comfort zone thing to draw #and I've been having more fun making art than I've had in years #skin is clear crops are flourishing the dogs have found each other
