its almost been 1 year since i started drawing again........

#tomorrow will mark it as 1 year. man #i had a goal of trying to make something at least once a month #and this year i wanted to make it once a week #i think thats a bit too ambitious of me but id like to #push myself further and all. cant grow without change #i cant believe i actually managed to like. post something monthly though #because my bad habit (<- still exists) when it comes to art is just. making 100000 wips and never lingering on any #only month i missed was november i think but thats alright. was a busy one #msdkfms god #so much happened in one year. i genuinely cant believe it #ill talk abt it later.... theres so much more i wanna do #really hard to process how many friends and people just. support me now. thank you mskdfs #i try really hard not to think abt it cuz like. i dont like thinking abt others much #its my dream to be forgotten. if i think abt others when i create then ill lose sight of what im trying to convey catering to those thought #im easily influenced like that. but id be lying if i said i wasnt grateful for whatever size of crowd appreciates me msdkfs #cant really grasp it. or understand it #ill just continue to draw more #until ive traced every line ive ever wanted to see

asuka ask game? pick your favorite one

ok so i do enjoy asuka guiltygear but i have been thinking REALLY hard about asuka tekken as of late so we're talking about her today

also this took me WAY too long to post i apologize but it Is out here so yaaaay

favorite thing about them:

ok so legally i have to mention asuka's tekken 8 design because motherfucker WHAT were they thinking with that one. what the fuck was the inspiration. but i love it so much i cannot lie

other than that, i really enjoy her rivalry with lili and how moderately insane that bit has gotten, and i like how they've kept her a character who is a) defensively focused in her gameplay even among the generally aggressive play of t8, and b) has a generally down-to-earth feel to her despite. Everything. happening in tekken

least favorite thing about them:

so i was actually talking to a friend about this recently and she explained my feelings really well, its like. asuka feels like the protagonist of another story that isnt being told.

it feels like she has so much stuff that COULD be a really interesting plot focus for her but it just. hasnt been? like everything between her and feng COULD be so neat but its just been sort of...by the wayside for the past few games in favor of keeping up with the mishimas (new sitcom there btw)

favorite line:

asuka's quotes are fun but most arent super noteworthy unfortunately? its mostly pretty standard fare for fighting game open and win quotes unforch :( i will say though, i do really enjoy this win line in t8 from her:

It's not good to fight all the time. Well, see ya!

bc like. girl. what do you think youre out here doing rn. girl please

(note: i dont speak japanese so i couldnt say anything towards this, but i wonder if asuka speaks with a kansai accent/dialect in game? her being from osaka and all, itd be a cool little addition)

brOTP:

omg actually ive seen stuff between leo and asuka that's been fun before i really enjoy that, iirc theyre not super close in the main canon but i wanna say in the non-canon webcomic theyre friends? i think thats right? either way its a fun concept

OTP:

asulili...uwoagh........

fellas is it gay to buy your rival's dojo and fill it entirely with roses to get their attention? certainly not. certainly.

i do wish we saw some amount more narrative tension between them since most of it has sort of dissolved by t8 but i do think theyre really cute and as mentioned before i really do enjoy their whole bit its awesome

SHOUTOUT ASULILI WEEK BTW I DONT HAVE THE TIME TO PARTICIPATE BUT I AM HYPED ABOUT ITS EXISTENCE

nOTP:

i do not think i have been around long enough to see another pairing for asuka, let alone one i dislike, so i cannot answer this question LMAO

random headcanon:

spun my mental wheel of headcanon topics and it wouldnt stop spinning for like half an hour unfortunately so im just telling you that i think asuka would play baiken or may in strive

unpopular opinion:

i still havent been here long enough to know whats unpopular regarding her :,) although i think in terms of gameplay i think she's cooler than most people believe, though i do agree that her current iteraiton in t8 isnt very strong within the meta unforch :(

song i associate with them:

i can nigh on guarantee that it's because ive been listening to this song while thinking about her really hard recently but absolute zero by natori (banger btw go watch the music video it goes unbelievably hard), i think the lyrics arent entirely unfitting though!!!

favorite picture of them:

i really like this profile art option for her, the posing is fun and the textures on the clothing are really impressive

and then also i have to mention her preset 3 outfit which i LOVE SO SO MUCH

(apologies as i cant find a better example pic and do not feel like opening t8 at 2 in the morning on this day)

#ask #ask game #electricgnu #tekken #asuka kazama #your honor i think shes neat... #ive been scrolling through her wiki page as of late

hiii hi my lovely henry!!! how are you doing? i hope you have had a lovely start to the month (sending lots of new spring flowers + sunny days your way xx) i've been going through your partridge family breakfast tag + its just SO lovely oh my gosh i love food so much...<3 have been feeling very uninspired with my dinners + was wondering if you'd tried any fun new recipes lately? (also !! going out to buy myself a pack of english muffins + butter + salt + apples for this week's breakfast!!! very excited hehe<3)

THEA!!!! How beautiful to see you!!!! come in sit down let me get you a lovely beverage <33 your well wishes are MUCH appreciated and returned tenfold i hope march is so kind to you and brings you peace unlike any you've ever experienced....

(I must mention i think of you every day when i watch gilmore girls bc your art makes me so overjoyed...)

Ahhhhhhh that makes me so HAPPY im so glad you're enjoying my little Food Posts <3 food to me.....the most powerful expression of love and the oldest....

What a LOVELY question and a very kind open door for me to talk abt food, you're a sweetheart!! Recently I've been very into thai food which im always hesitant to reccomend bc it has a lot of new ingrediants if you dont normally cook from that part of the world!! However if you Are up for an adventure and want to keep it simple: massaman curry. You can add beef or just potatoes to keep it vegan, and it is so bloody good. Make a batch on a sunday and eat it cold for like three days, i use the bbc goodfood recipe!! For smth even simpler, combine red thai paste with coconut milk, heat until reduced, and enjoy........i make this when im not very well and shove in cooked chicken or veggies!!

SOUP! I've been making chicken and leek soup.....but you can make just veggie soup if you prefer...combined vegetables of your choice (i like garlic, onion, carrot and leek, with a sprig of thyme) into a small portion of melted butter in a pan. Add stock (chicken or veggie) and allow to reduce. Stir through cooked shredded chicken or quick cook veggies like sugar snap peas or baby corn!! So warming bc it's been raining ALL the time omg....

Those are my big hitters at the moment!!! I hope you find sooo much recipe inspo my darling i CANT BELIEVE you're trying my favourite breakfast oh my god i eat it every day i hope you enjoy Please give me a full review if you so desire <3333

Thank you for stopping by my love!!!!

#THIS IS SO LONG IM SO SORRY SHDJFJ LOVE U!! #thank you for coming to.... #partridge family breakfast!!

[confessions-official]

i feel like im stuck in a never ending art block loop, and it fucking sucks, i know im not that very happy with my art (especially since i dont know how to shade properly, draw enviorments, and stuff like that) and i know i have to draw bad art to become good but i feel like i have no time for art either

i procrastinate and have no motivation, having a school day makes it seem like i cant draw at all, ive been having some ideas but i cant get my creativity flowing, i have problems with anatomy (that one is very fixable), all i have is a bed and not even my own room so i cant even sit down, i cant focus on one drawing for that long and i have to do it in one sitting before i forget about it the next time, i cant even lie to myself that i dont even hate my art a little bit

i know i have to draw bad art before i get better (and believe me im so much proud of how much ive improved since 2020 - when i started to draw more) but it is kinda hard when you dont have alot of ideas, or when you do have an idea but cant seem to translate it from ur head into clip studio paint

i will try to watch speedpaints and see how people color, shade etc cuz i think its one of my least problems rn, but god it really does suck when you see your friends post art maybe once a week and you have nothing going on cuz it feels like you draw "wrong" and havent learnt techniqes everyone has by now, topped with that i am not doing well in school so its twice as stressful for me

I’ve noticed a lot of fashion/art/etc blogs with a specific “aesthetic” post Palestinian quotes, art, photos and so on to fit the theme of their little blog……. and then move on from the ongoing genocide the next few days. Like they’re posting just for people to notice, not even reblogging posts with ACTUAL info, actual links for donations and boycotting and so on. Like it’s all for show. And then they get to move on. At that point, just dont post anything at all?..

(received 3 nov 2023)

yea all of the platformed Black folks and nonblacks in general who are too scared to say they fight for Palestinian liberation and didn’t make any post about the genocide until around October 18–20 can fuck off forever. Black people tried to warn y’all that neoliberalism was gonna defang the movement and a lot of people on tumblr are going to virtue signaling AT BEST and no one listened. but these the same people who stopped masking w n95 or better because Genocide Joe and CDC said it was “safe” and the pandemic is “over.” These are the same people who cant take a basic hot take on antiBlackness and identity politics online, These the same people that don’t know about de-arresting, kettling or productive, disruptive nonviolent action; all they know is aimless marches and clout chasing through “empathy.” “You can see who is being silent or neutral to maintain their resource & clout, who will sustain or even gain clout for being vocal right (they know they will never say, lose their job or get arrested for being vocal or who would have a low bail; there are Black people who still in jail for 2014 actions…). You can see who is being vocal because they have nothing to lose or they risk their livelihoods because they earnestly care about the violence oppressed and marginalized people go through globally.” Not saying everyone being vocal is full of shit but most don’t have range to connect all the violence in the world together. “trust it’s free palestine forever but a lot of these accounts dedicating their time to palestine don’t have any political framework that includes ALL freedom movements and a lot of them are antiblack and that is just… not doing the work. we need to see systems and movements as connected. u can’t say free palestine and then try to silence black people when they bring up the way the free palestine movement is entangled with our struggles. u can’t say free palestine and then ignore what’s happening in the congo. u can’t say free palestine then harass a black trans woman. if ur not condemning ALL genocide then wtf is the point.” “it's kinda funny how none of y'all will make the connection between how you regard black people online with malice and instantaneous bad faith and why the genocides being carried out against black people are comparatively neglected in people's thought and action. it's kinda funny how none of y'all will make the connection between how you regard black people online with malice and instantaneous bad faith and why the genocides being carried out against black people are comparatively neglected in people's thought and action.” The only people I believe when they are vocal about Palestine are Palestinians in the region facing genocide and ethnic cleansing and the people who arent Palestinians were vocal about violence around the world before Oct 7th, didn’t wait a week to condemn Israel’s genocidal govt until it was “safe” to do so later into October and who still mask w n95 or better; the rest are virtue signaling to me. not lost on me that most of these nonviolent actions have been maskless and excluded disabled people but the few actual disruptive nonviolent actions have been the most masked with the least amount of people. most people making noise rn aint about that life and like you said should stfu and stop posting but they wont so

i am so like. metaphysically exhausted i feel like im going thru so much rn i just need to vent with timestamps

like i have zero money so my card declined on my medical bill today and i have to make a bunch of phone calls to places that are only open on weekdays. and i have to prepare for a market but my heart is just not in it. plus ive been waiting to hear back about some other freelance stuff but it hasnt happened yet. so i just keep working on little bits and praying that it will work out. esp bc i have a tattoo appointment i made for my birthday to keep from totally spiraling but i obviously dont have the money for it right now.

and i have to go talk to bf's parents on monday and convince them that im telling the truth about anything w regards to moving. when they dont respect me and think im just some fairy trying to steal their daughter. and the thing is i am but its obviously for the best. and my parents are excited that im moving back but they cant really help me until july and mostly once we're already over there. and bc of how little money we have were gonna have to get rid of most of our stuff and either fly or drive a car across the country.

and all of this while i am getting sicker and sicker and ive just been getting sicker for years and usually it gets better in the summer but this year it isnt so im really worried about that. all i want is to sit outside in a pretty dress with a fun beverage and draw and write but the reality of my situation keeps creeping in. and its crazy bc the thing is pretty much everything aside from the medical bill is already sorted out and being dealt with and i just have to wait it out. i just cant get over how stressed out i feel and thats whats holding me back from fixing things, leading to them getting worse. they increased my ocd medication but the pharmacy hasnt called me yet even after two days when usually they have it same day.

what is going on. im exhausted. i havent slept properly in like two years. i survive off chocolate chips and microwavables and vitamin supplements. i spend most days alone in my apartment sitting by the window on the computer. this is not living. this is not living. i am supposed to be outside talking to strangers. i am supposed to be making the mistakes of a young adult. i turn 20 in 10 days. i have not been able to stay sober longer than 3 days in a row. i have near-constant short term memory loss. my vision is fading. i cant stand. once a week i go to the park and run until my ribs hurt, which is only about 3 minutes. i wear dresses over my hairy legs and combat boots. i get boba tea and coffee and ice cream when i have 10 dollars in my bank account. why isn't it worth it to live a beautiful life? why is responsibility the beginning and end of my life? when do i get to fuck up without being incessantly punished for the rest of my life?

when i was 17 i came to the startling realization that when something bad happens to me, that is the punishment. before that, and even still, i believed that i had to endure the bad thing and then be punished for the fact that the bad thing even happened. then one day i spilled olive oil all over the kitchen counter and my father helped me clean it up and asked if i was ok. to this day it sticks out as a dream, as if something so kind could ever happen to me. and yet i feel like if i had not been treated with so much hostility, i never would have been radicalized the way i am today. i cant prove either way, but i know that the hostility i am constantly faced with is unwarranted. yet it continues, so what am i doing wrong? the answer is obviously everything.

writing this has calmed me down. i am one of the few who benefits from journaling, even performative journaling, which is what this website is based on. one day when i die just a little bit before my time, my now-bf future-husband will compile my unpublished writing and art and notebooks and tumblr posts into a chronicle of my life, and then i will finally be beautiful.

OOC: I know we haven't interacted much IC or OOC but really, from what I've seen, you've got nothing to be ashamed of and you're not replaceable. It's nice seeing you hyped about vampair and threnody, even if I don't get all of it and Missi's a cool character you've developed.

From all the interactions you've had since I started following, you've carved out a space in the community that couldn't be filled by anyone else. Nothing's bad about your writing, your art, your personality or your interests and even if you're not a Stephen King or a Van Gogh, you shouldn't feel bad about doing what you love and doing that with the friends you've made.

I'm not the best at conveying this sort of stuff and I don't know what's making you doubt yourself so much recently, but those thoughts of "nobody would notice/miss me if I was gone/left" are complete bullshit and any of your friends and RP partners can vouch for that. Take as much time off Tumblr as you need, play the characters you want, sketch what you want, but just know you're wanted here

@strigoi-prince

I guess I should take this chance to let everyone know whats been going on.

As of now I am struggling with a hormonal imbalance as I have been on my period for 14 days now which has fucked up my hormones bigtime and has me spiraling between depression, doubt, and just outright panic that my medication isnt preventing / helping with because of the hormonal imbalance.

At least this is why i believe i have been unnaturally depressed these past days and weeks I've also been having issues paying for medical stuff because my work fucked up my employment so now i need to wait for august before i can get insurnace. This means that even if i wanted to see my doctor it would cost me ~400. Which really fucking sucks.

I only make around 350-400 a week, so 1 doctors visit (not including tests) is going to cost me 1/4th of my months income. Now I am thankfully privledged to have a family in good financial standing so my mother has said she will help me because this issue can be very serious (like i should not be bleeding for this long, and it can be indication of something much worse) so I have an appointment tuesday thankfully but I am still extremely nervous and pissed at my work. I have all these emotions that this hormonal imbalance isnt helping. And no, i cant use my birth control because that also is making the bleeding and pain worse, so i cant take it unless i want to make it worse. Im taking 2 iron tablets to deal with the bleeding because thats what helped before but its still a pain and draining my money because pads and pain medication isnt cheep.

because of this i just dont feel confident being able to rp missi in a way that you guys deserve because i know you all are so amazing and deserve me at my best despite all my depression-posting. I just fear because i cant do anything about this and cant provide something fun for you guys to enjoy and even myself to enjoy i shouldnt be around and i will be forgotten because i am taking a break. I am terrified of being forgotten but it just seems like its happening. I never feel good enough and this whole mess is making my insecurity of being replaced rear its head so much that im getting anxious posting anything in character.

Thank you for the kind message, honestly it had me tearing up and i wish the words would help me more but i dont know what i can do to stop this because its a legit chemical issue in me. I want to give everyone here something fun and happy to deal with not my depression and crippling anxiety. Hopefully ill be able to get back, but i dont know how long it will take and i dont know whats going to happen from here on.

[gothmods]

[Obligatory disclaimer that i do believe art used in ai training should be an opt in on the part of artists, because while ai image generation is not inherently art theft, i think its fair to want to know how an ai engine operates and what the terms of use are and to be able to make a decision based on that*]

(*hypothetical examples - what are the user policies wrt offensive content, will you yourself be able to access this ai tool, is this a tool primarily intended for use by individuals or is it being pitched heavily at a corporate audience)

Preamble over, anyways

The invoking of 'consent' language wrt to ai art is....interesting to me. And i dont entirely know how to feel about it because while what i stated at the top of this post could be described as informed consent, what im seeing largely is not consent as you would discuss when collecting/storing/applying data (think procedures for data collection in scientific studies or in other tech developments). Rather it feels like what is being said is that it is a violation of consent to create a derivitive work in a medium the artist/s do not approve of.

Which putting aside that thats not quite how ai art works - its all very interesting to me as someone who works in traditional mediums because its so....out of touch i guess?

The obvious example would be collage, i dont have to seek out permissions from photographers and journalists to display (or sell) a collage that uses parts of their work. But that is a boring example and one that does not push the conversation around transformative works.

Now if i made a 2m × 2m photo print of a banksy work and wrote "wanksy" on it with a sharpie, should i need to seek the permission of mr banksy to exhibit it? Do i owe banksy royalties for the use of his work? If in that same exhibition i display a sculpture of mickey mouse tearing a man apart like a rapid animal, should disney be able to sue me for damaging their image?

The critics may well say these works are uninspired, a clumsy and immature attempt at satire. The public might find my detailed rendition of michael mouse devouring human flesh to be grotesque and an affront to the eye. That is all fine - as in they should be able to criticise my work freely, even if i ultimately disagree with what they say and appear 2 weeks later in an interview saying the 7 year old who cried so hard he threw up at my opening night was an industry plant intended to stir up bad press.

The question on the table is whether i am free to create those works - and more generally whether or not transformative art is acknowledged as art, even if you feel some of it is shite.

What even is transformative art? How do you draw a line between what is transformative and what is merely copy? I dont think there is a hard line, at least not one that could be defined and upheld in a legal setting.

There is a lot of art out there that i think is crap, that i think has nothing of interest to say, that i think is a hollow imitation of the works of others. I think its vital to the state of the arts that we can have those conversations. But i dont think the complexities of these conversations can be captured in legislation - nor do i wish for them to be. If copyright laws enabled disney to come knocking i would simply be too broke to even fight it in court.

And while most artists and even a large chunk of businesses are not the mass of financial power that is disney, that doesnt change that i could not afford a lawyer and that the "profits" i make on my work are.....well you cant really call them profits.

Which is not to say i think art theft is okay, or that it doesnt happen in the traditional arts. Rather that while i think art theft makes you a dickhead and an uninspired hack i do not think relying on legal structures to inform ethics in the arts is the solution. I dont necessarily think there even is a single solution, and more broadly when looking at arts and ethics there are a lot of grey areas (one of my favourite artists is paul yore who is...not a stranger to controversy in this regard)

But even if we look at the flip side, if we assume a singular distinction between what is art theft and what is inspiration or transformative can be concluded. If we extend intellectual property laws to cover the expanses of the art world.

I am...still broke. Even if i did want the ability to sue someone for stealing my intellectual property (i do not), even if i could prove beyond reasonable doubt that my triangular vase was distinct enough to be solely my creation and that other people using that shape were commiting a crime. I do not have the money to take it to court. Even if i did i doubt i could argue that that theft had resulted in lost income.

Which is the whole point of intellectual property laws, it isnt about protecting the sanctity of creative mediums, its about protecting capital. Which is why companies are able to use copyright laws to profit off of the work of a designer without that designer being fairly compensated. And its why target could mass produce a recast of my work (they wouldnt but only because what i do has no mass commercial appeal) without consequence. And expanding those laws would only make it harder for the arts as a medium to progress, would only make things harder for those of us at the bottom of the ladder. Not that i want to climb that ladder anyway, i want to tip it over and set it on fire.

But even outside of copyright and ownership and all that - i think its important to recognise that you can think the art someone does is absolute crap, that its trite, lazy, that its the stupidest idea ever concieved, and still accept that they should be able to make it. And that bad art is not representative of a medium as a whole.

Even when you get into more serious ethical matters some things are complex and i think there are some conversations that should be gone about with more care (the previously mentioned paul yore comes to mind again).

Theres no concluding point here but thats kind of the point to begin with - that there isnt a clean cut solution.

[lokisprettygirl]

thoughts about TNSATSI

very ominous, especially the last part.

i love how he just does everything to at least try to make her feel comfortable. i have a feeling that behavior has a story behind i. it just cant all be chivalry cant it.

how shes very guarded is interesting. the constant mentions of he or them is just the tip of the iceberg innit. she's really traumatized by whats happened that her walls are so high up she could barely trust anyone.

this island is also proving to be very very mysterious. how come of the two other teachers in said island, the both just decided on taking a vacation just as she start working. i mean its understandable through further thought but i just think its questionable. and the towns people, what the bloody hell is wrong with them that they look at her as if she brought the plague. did they have a bad experience with a previous new comer? does she look an awful lot like minola or does she remind the of her? i have a feeling minola isnt/wasnt very kind to the town, either that or shes a tortured soul.

i absolutely adore how this is ramping up to be.

i still cant help but think back to lokis concern for her and the last bit. that'll be nagging for a while now wont it. what does he mean she wont survive the next week i believe? and the sort of protectiveness he has on her is really intriguing to me, (though that might be for personal reasons).

i just cant get over how guarded she is. what happened to her and therapy is a common thing but so far why does every hint given so far make it sound so severe. it quite possibly is but... ill have to wait to know wont i?

i saw your earlier post about not receiving much interaction or feedback and about others having to just want to go straight to the height of action on interest, i mean i know what they mean but the slow starts are as important as that. the structuring of the characters and the steady build up of mystery is what makes a good story. sure jumping straight to the middle, in where the most action is drawn in is cool but others miss the meaning in that. the meaning that could only be realized if you read the start. structuring makes a good story people. personally i think its what made your other stories so brilliantly wonderful. the questions left after every chapter pile up until answered in later pages. the intrigue is palpable if you begin at the very start.

i apologize for ranting but in short of what i meant to say, im sorry that you dont get the proper response or enough of it. your work is absolutely marvelous and other may just be shy but they love it just as much a person who sends feedback. im sorry that you feel down love but if it ever raises your spirits, know that i eagerly wait for your posts as much as a child waits for Christmas. that doesnt mean to pressure you into posting, i am completely satiated in reading your older works as well.

i really just want you to know that your work is deeply appreciated. others may not show it or express it but your writing is loved. it really really is. the amount of times ive talked to myself (i really dont have friends) about your work, the reactions ive expressed are absolutely ridiculous but all of it was caused by your brilliant work and the other talented writers in this app. mere typed words or words alone cant do justice to the praise held up for your work. its just beautiful, from the heartbreaking angst to the steamy smut, all are just a work of art.

damn this got lengthy, i apologize for length of this rant and just hope you have a good one. sending you all the hugs and love i can muster

from your lovely😊❤️💜💙💛💚😊

Yess there are many hidden details, or I should say it's not really hidden though, just a matter of perspective I guess. She feels a sense of safety around him which is surprising even for her.

Also the he person and them she thinks about are the people from her past. Whatever happened to her had destroyed her will to live normally, that's why she thought living at a place where she wouldn't have to interact much, especially with men would be good for her. Epic fail because now she's desperate to seek connections because the house is either haunted or she's losing her mind.

Something is not right at The Slumber Island

Thank you for everything else you said about me and you have a virtual friend here, you can talk to me anytime you feel like. 🤗

Now I personally believe that people can write bad stories even after writing good ones, so sometimes the story just doesn't connect with people. Sometimes the story is just bad, but I KNOW that there are some people who are reading every chapter but they just don't want to respond or give a feedback because ofcourse it takes time and effort, people are busy, have lives, not well etc and I understand that very well but that doesn't mean it's not disheartening for me to be disappointed by the fact that people don't want to engage with me directly.

I think reading a series is not everyone's cup of tea, people just want to read quick smut fics or a oneshot, that's not the issue, issue is that I know they are reading but not wanting to respond. It might seem boring or dragged but pacing is very important for me, even when I'm reading x reader stories if I read a full fledged series where the characters just fall in love with each other even though there were no emotions described, no inner thoughts were shared, it immediately takes me out of the story because I can't relate with these people..I don't know what gives them a substance, a motive. So I try to build my characters, ofcourse it also depends on the plot, hmbomt had characters engaging with each other quickly but there were conflicts and issues that kept coming because that's how it is, people don't just magically start loving the other person madly for no absolute reason.

You never have to apologise to me for literally drowning me in the praises I don't feel worthy of, thank you for taking the time to send me this. Usually after I'm done venting I feel better and I was afraid of complaining again but then it's my blog and people are free to unfollow if it bothers anyone.

Love you 💚❤️

I thought I just posted this but turns out I didn’t I I gotta re type it all now :/

small drawing of Kyle from the mostly finished comic that will never be finished or posted because I just can’t finish it I’m sorry.. but mostly to myself, I put in so much work

was gonna draw tweek instead of using this from a few weeks ago but I cant draw and especially cant draw tweek

ignore this next part trust me it’s really not worth reading nor is it related to art or south park or anything:

I’ve realized at this point that this blog is more of an excuse for me talk about whatever(since I’m so insufferable that I don’t have anyone else to talk to lmao) I just post some art with it since it’s not like my words are interesting or worth anything but hey maybe a few people will like my art? I would hope so but I guess there is a reason why there’s so few notes on any of my work, obviously because I suck at art haha

sorry if that sounded a little too self deprecating

and just sorry in general, for making you read all my bs lmao why are you reading this like actually?

i can’t believe you actually made it this far through this post, have a nice day tho <3

Oh also I may post very not often bcuz the new school year starts in less than a week (which also I’m very stressed about) so I’ll probably be busier than usual

oh also unrelated but I snuck out a few days ago at 1am just to go for walk it was really nice 10/10 would recommend just don’t get caught and dont die, probably

disclaimer: a bunch of everything I say is a joke or partly a joke so don’t take me too seriously

aaaand as I was about to post this the original actually was posted and not gone but I’m gonna post this instead and delete the other
