#hello hello! #glad to hear you found me! #and thank you for the compliments! #how did you know about the lore though? I mostly save lore rambles for tumblr only #answered #fox0war #I still don't love the fact my art gets uploaded to pinterest without credits or proper sourcing #but it's nice to hear people out there are liking it #if you wish to get your anthro dog art fresh from the oven I'm also on twitter (kalpeakoira) and bsky (canisalbus) #and there's also instagram (kalpeakoira) but I consistently fail at keeping it up to date so it's mostly inactive #but tumblr has the best coverage out of all these you're not missing out on anything if you only follow me here #oh wait except the mature artwork I can't post that here tumblr doesn't allow it

i think that while micro labels can seem useful and affirming ultimately they're isolating and kind of an obstacle to your understanding of self. that's because you can never find a word specific enough. there will never be a label or two labels or even ten, twenty of them to perfectly capture and describe all of your thoughts, feelings, experiences, preferences, needs, interests, identities, etc. because you learn more and more about yourself every day and then you change and your wants and needs change with you. having to hop between labels, fearing that you don't 'fit' into a label anymore (both in your own and others eyes), worrying how soon your current label will wear out, questioning if you'll ever fully fit a single one. all that causes a lot of uncertainty and anxiety which could be avoided by just picking a more general thing and molding it according to what it means to YOU. because words will always mean different things to different people, you will never be understood immediately and maybe never completely by anyone but yourself and that's fine

#another thing is that micro labels often feel like they fracture the community unnecessarily #idk how many times i've seen fighting over hyperspecific ace labels and what they mean and if people described in them even belong #and honestly i think this discourse wouldn't be so vile and neverending if people accepted the idea of falling under general umbrella #and accepted that you can't describe complicated weird and wonderful act of human existence with a couple of words #you don't need to explain yourself to anyone #i know in our present pronouns/sexuality/gender in bio carrd era it feels like you have to but you really don't #people aren't entitled to a short summary of your inner world and you can't speed run connection #also feel the need to say: i have nothing against people who use micro labels #if you feel like your micro label describes you perfectly? i'm really glad and happy for you #i'm just expressing my own thoughts and feelings that come from personal experience with exploring these things #at some point i started doubting if i could call myself a lesbian #i thought oh i'm not exactly what a lot of people generally think of when they hear that word #oh they'll misunderstand and i'm not being my 'true self' i'll find a word that fits me exactly if i just keep looking #and then i found out being aroace is a thing and boy did that add a lot of anxiety and confusion to the pot #i didn't feel like i fit in with both communities wasn't lesbian enough wasn't aroace enough #but at some point i just got tired of trying to justify myself to others and to myself #identities aren't houses you live in they're more like seas or rivers flowing into one another #and spaces where they intersect are vague and hard to define and they shift and change and this metaphor is getting away from me #basically #words are complicated #but they're the only direct way we humans can communicate #it is what it is #so make art #a lot of it #oh also unrelated but if you ever tell older queer folks that they're using wrong words to describe themselves i am going to jump you

Took a bit of break from commissions to draw a lil fanart for a game called Meg’s Monster ;w;

There’s not much content for it yet since the game was just released a couple weeks ago sooo I felt compelled to make something for it! These 3 were particularly my favorite and got me crying towards the end ;_;

If you love games like Undertale then consider giving this one a try! There’s a free demo available of it on steam that you can play 👍 Just be prepared for the emotional roller coaster in advance!!

#artists on tumblr #meg's monster #roy #meg #golan #gotchibam arts #pls send me asks abt it if you guys get to play it 🥺 #may not be able to reply bc im busy but i'd love to hear your thoughts!! #actually found this game thru searching twitter for content of a certain fave anime character #saw a tweet saying golan's face + smug expression was inspired by gin's (from the anime bleach) so I got curious #abt this green guy and then I saw this game! #the undertale vibes got me more curious so I went ahead and played it and here I am now ;w; #I still have so much comms + doodles to do but I needed a bit of break so I'm really glad I found this game #the feels tho....... the feels ;___; #be prepared for the feels </3

#found out last night someone i knew at uni died and its odd. really odd #didnt know them well enough to really feel grief but always intended to hang out with them more #follow each other on spotify & their last listened to artist is one of my favourite bands #i would have liked to have known them better. yeah #really feel for the ppl who were closest to them like im sad but as i said its not like. actual grief #we hear abt other students dying every now and then but its never someone you knew personally or someone whos house you went to #& you meowed at them and they got scared because they said theyre a barking household. and they showed you the dead buzzard in their garden #from which you stole some feathers. and then you went in their fucked up shed that apparently had asbestos #yeah. i just wish id had more opportunities to know them. me and another friend always said we should hang out with them more #man it sucks. which is an understatement rlly but u know #and now its kind of just like. this is a thing that has happened #and i probably wont rlly feel the impact until coming off placement year next year because then ill actually notice that theyre not there #never had anyone in my peer group die before. really fucking weird #really hope theyre at peace now and all. and im glad one of my friends who knew them more i checked in on is doing alright #i mean i say im not grieving but i have cried and am crying but i also cry easily or when i hear people i dont even know have died #but also i do miss them and i wish i could see them again

"Maybe..." Randall murmured, still perplexed by Renfield's reaction-all the time he'd known the little guy, he'd been friendly to everyone, even people who didn't like him. Minnie constantly scooted him and the other strays away, but Renfield adamantly rubbed up against her legs when she was out on the sidewalk, undeterred by her dislike for him. So for him to just randomly get all worked up about someone he'd never met before was just...odd.

Still, he tried to brush it off-he also didn't miss the way Emily put on a smile and tried to laugh it off, a part of his heart sensing she was a little hurt by this response. Hoping to make her feel better about it, he said, "I'm sure he's just having an off day; don't take it too personally. I've had cats crawl all over me one day and want nothing to do with me the next, it's just how they are. Renny will probably be back later-maybe he'll be in a better mood by then."

"Since when did you get two lunchbreaks, Randy?"

"Just having a little something extra, Dave," Randall groaned, pausing to grab a napkin as he finished his sandwich, just as one of his coworkers had come downstairs for a smoke break-Dave was one of the more irritating coworkers he had to put up with on a daily basis; he insisted he was just an easy-going guy who liked a good joke, but his jokes were often hurtful and very seldom funny. Considering his idea of comedy was calling Randall "Randy" (which he had never gone by, even as a boy, and couldn't hardly stand as a nickname), it told him a lot about Dave's sense of humor (or lack thereof).

"And can I help you find anything, beautiful?" Dave asked, having noticed Emily and put on a smile, leaning up against the counter, his cigarette tucked behind his ear. "Maybe a date for Friday night? Pretty flower like you shouldn't have to hang out with a real weed like ol' Randy here."

#((very glad to hear that; very glad to hear they were understanding; and that you've got some time off!)) #((and honestly; randall and emily's love for one another is downright indestructible!)) #((across all these rp's; all these au's; all these different timelines and universes)) #((where they've found each other in different ways; one or the other has been a supernatural being)) #((and that hasn't stopped their love for one another at all! the revelation that emily is a vampire)) #((will be no different! you're right! emily lost him once; she's not gonna lose him again!)) #((randall himself will do his best to make sure of that!)) #((and good question-maybe they'll come slowly at first; but maybe something will happen)) #((that triggers a rush of them back for him?)) #((and hey; count me in with the nerdy names for cats too! i've always named cats nerdy things)) #((even the stray ones that hang around my neck of the woods-a new one just popped up a little while back)) #((he's very skittish and has black markings around his face like a mask; so i've named him erique!)) #((so i'm defidently just as much a nerd as you *and* randall!)) #outofhatboxes #beatingheart-bride #V:Dark Shadows

I TOOK MY PILLS ARE YOU PROUD OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!

#I'm so happy #I've never been able to take them #because I'm terrified of swallowing pills #a while ago i had to start taking them as they're were not alternatives i could take #i took it woth yoghurt for like 2 months #and then today i realised i felt comfortable with swallowing #that was what my fear was based on #i had some sort of mental block #AND I TOOK IT WITH WATER #WOOOOOO #take that mother #im glad i found my own of taking them that works for ME #i was tired of hearing 'you're 17 how come you can't swallow pills i learnt when i was 7 blablablablabala #YAY #lasar being incoherent #sorry for the rant im just really happy #it's so easy now

I had a scrap piece of paper and drew the little freakish dog 👍 I have been silently enjoying your art for like a couple months now? I found it randomly on uploaded Pinterest and was like “oh huh that’s rad” and yeah he’s such a lovely sad little beast

.

#oooh another tiny machete sighting! #I don't know but I find it just so endearing that people are out there doodling his weird little face #on post it notes corners of scrap paper and at work #I do that too but then again I'm rotating him in my head at least fifteen times a day so I kind of have to #the WHISKERS ah #scruffy little animal #putting him in my pocket and taking him to the grocery shop as we speak #thank you! and I'm glad you've been enjoying my art! #I've always had a little difficult relationship with pinterest because a lot of art gets uploaded there without proper sources or credit #and whenever a piece of yours gets reposted sourcelessly often enough you kind of end up losing ownership to it which isn't fun #it gets used without artist's consent as bootleg prints and shirts and tattoos and such #but lately a lot of people have come to me saying they discovered my stuff through pinterest #or had seen my character there and recognized it later when they came across one of my own posts #and it's always very nice to hear that I'm glad you've found me here #but I'm getting very off topic didn't mean to ramble like that #gift art #answered #wwildcatt #own characters #Machete

There aren't really any signs that they are being taken care of cause I have to be secretive about feeding them. It's illegal in my town to feed stray animals. But we have a garage that is open in areas where they can go in for warmth during the winter if they want to. Plus, I live on a dead-end street, so not very many people travel on it.

thats good that you can be subtle with it but also GOD it enrages me that there are so many places where it's illegal to take care of strays and ferals. this seems to often stem from the mentality that if people are forced to let these cats suffer, starve, and die, eventually the population will go down "on its own" when that is the opposite of the truth. the key to successfully limiting the population of community cats is not cruelty it is compassion. removing cats, trapping to kill, or starvation tactics only create space for new colonies to move in, and they WILL move in. the people who make these laws deserve the chair to be honest

#catposting #sorry to all my followers who r not here to hear me rant about animal welfare stuff but whatever. this is my life #asks #anonymous #thank you sm for taking care of those cats im glad they found u!!!!

✨🎥! Long time no see! How are you? I can’t believe it’s been almost 6 months since I last wrote. How have you been in those months? Mine were kinda crazy. Until June I had a hectic schedule: I worked on different film funds (regional, national and international) for pretty much every project that we have. We included a new one from a Singaporean auteur that has the fattest brain ever and criticises the government in a coming of age that mixes gangs and lesbians (absolutely lovely), as well as a new Spanish sci-fi with a twist (still on the early stages so hopefully it’ll grow to its full potential). I also got a skin allergy reaction to who the fuck knows what and I had to be on meds and steroids for a month 💀. On the bright side I went to the Perfume concert in London with a friend and had a lovely week of vacation in Vienna, where I found Key and Sunmi’s cds (Bad Love and Can’t sit with us) so obvs I had to buy them.

I would’ve liked to enjoy the SHINee comeback more, but I was kinda braindead so I still have lots of videos to watch.

Now I’m on holidays again, for this week and the next, and I’m trying to find an affordable apartment that is not shit so I can move out of my dad’s house. But landlords are absolutely insane and most of the places are garbage, so we’ll see how that goes

OMG HIIIIII I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU!!!!!!

so glad to hear from you, i also can't believe it's been almost six months 💀. im ok! im actually back home in canada staying with my parents rn on a health sabbatical, but im doing much better now being on some new meds and with my new therapist! also it's nice to be home, i really missed the pets. been taking it very slow, currently working part time at a family friend's flower shop and not really making a ton of art, but i did get into leatherworking lmao.

omg you have to keep me updated on when those films get release dates bc they sound dope as hell!! i actually scoped around the kpop section of a chain record store here and they had THE worst selection possible, except somehow: one single ghost9 album. literally the only flop group album they had, i was so surprised. im gonna scope around some more to see if i can find any key albums anywhere, since it's significantly easier to find kpop stuff here.

totally understand the housing strife, im very glad to be staying with my parents rn bc the rent prices in the pnw are so fucking bad, it's so depressing

#the way i got jumpscared by the bts ad on the door of the korean grocery store...... #have to remember that at least there IS a korean grocery store #i really was just thinking of you!! i have a favour to ask!! #actually this goes out to any of my spanish speaking followers but if you/somebody is willing to dm me i have something i need translated #its a note that was given to my grandma in the 50s by a guy she met in bruges #and we just found it going thru her stuff and i dont think its actually seen the light of day since the 50s lmao #and nobody in my family speaks spanish lmao #it might be in argentinian spanish also? we really have no idea google gave us a passable translation but we'd like to have a better one #anyways. very extremely glad to hear from you im glad youre doing good! #✨🎥 anon #text #answers

i've had people suggest i use mindfulness whenever i'm having a cptsd episode. but I don't think it works that way. they want me to realize that i'm not in the past experiencing the past traumas I dealt with. but the problem is, i'm STILL dealing with all these same traumas! they keep piling up on top themsleves and get thicker and heavier as time goes on.

being autistic in an allistic world, with severe sensory issues and really bad communication issues, it never stops. it's ongoing. my problems with people, communicating with them, being misunderstood, losing friends, etc, that's not a past thing. that's a real thing that always happens.

if I feel like friends are about to hurt me or trun their back on me like ones in the past have done, i've had people suggest mindfulness to me, saying I must be imagining it. saying i'm applying past experiences and being insecure and anxious and there's probably nothing wrong. so i'll let my guard down and try, act like everything is fine. then i'm suddenly blindsided by the thing I thought would happen and wasn't prepared anymore! that makes the past trauma load flood in again and makes the current situation worse!

also, when mindfulness involves being aware of everything around you in that moment, but you're autistic with sensory issues, so you are already painfully aware of literally every thing around you...why would you want to focus on that stuff even more?! i'm already exhausted and easily burnt out because of it. doing so will cause a meltdown and i'll definitely lose those friends I was worried about by accidentally lashing out at them if i hit that point lmao

i'm tired of people suggesting this to me. it is not a thing that will help me. if I was being paranoid for no reason, sure! I can see how it would help. but when i'm seeing real patterns repeat themsleves and every single time my predictions come true, I don't see how i'm simply being paranoid and mindfulness will stop it. when people already decided they don't like me but are hiding it, it won't do anything. when i'm already "living in the moment" because the moment is so suffocating and I can't ignore anything around me and need breaks from it, it's not going to help me.

mindfulness may work on wrongfully perceived anxieties and worries, but when they are real and actually happen, especially if it's a constant or recurring thing that you are better off being prepared for, I don't see how it helps.

#autistic #actually autistic #autism #neurodivergent #mindfullness #anyone else feel like being autistic makes mindfulness pointless/unhelpful/overwhelming? #i feel like meditation is similar and also doesn't help. especially my adhd side of brain not letting me sit quietly and still for longer #than a minute. if im forced to and get bored #my mind will wander and think about past experiences and make me feel worse if it lands on the #bad. this happens at work when im bored sometimes. my brain has taken me to dark past things because i have nothing else to think about or #focus on while doing mindless physical labor that's extremely uninteresting. #i've also found that trying to force mindfulness/meditation has forced me into dissociation states so thats fun #i know these will help *some* autistic people. thats good! im glad it helps you. but i want to hear from ones who it doesnt help

Okay you know what? I’m gonna say it. Tumblr staff knew @midnight-revelation & I would be insufferable about the queen’s passing if they didn’t make one of our accounts block the other. That’s my conspiracy theory on this. He sent me an entire whole honestly believable conspiracy theory about The Queen having already passed and then guess what? She fucking died. LMAO Like the amount of jokes we would have been passing around on each other’s dashboards would have hit post limit for a few days in a row probably! Someone on tumblr staff is a Queen liker! SOMEONE ON TUMBLR STAFF LIKES THE ROYAL FAMILY!

#let me know if I got the pronouns wrong here it’s been a minute and I’m glad to see you again and hear from you 💜 #this is the only logical answer because the time frame of my account blocking yours adds up with Lizzie in a box (I think) #like I’m pretty sure it was around the same time I stopped seeing you on my dash due to then making me block you #I only found out because I was like hey wait where’s Gary we were gonna have so much fun talking about this #then I was like wait wtf I’m not following?? UNBLOCK??? #IT HAPPENED AROUND THE SAME TIME I STG IT DID I SWEAR #midnight-revelation #cuteuals #mine #OP #lizzies in a box
