how do you draw idia's hair?

I draw him like a Vtuber where I separate his hair in layers. It's what he deserves, though it takes longer to draw him this way.

Hey, Carrot!

So I'm not sure how to explain this, but Casey made you some... Carrot-sona designs? Like, they humanized your little Carrot mascot.

Please take a look!

"Hello Carrot, I've been thinking about drawing your logo as a character (like those tomatoes) for a long time, and yesterday I drew a couple of options

If you didn't like any of the options, you can draw your own on the first option.

If you liked it, you can keep it, hehe" – Casey

Hi. Do you have any advice as to how to see people clearly and not be ridden by delusion? How to practice reading people accurately and not seeing them through rose coloured glasses?

There's no foolproof way to read people, you will be wrong at some point and there's nothing much you can do about it. That being said, in general:

1. Fact-checking, facts over feelings.

You can trust people, but always verify with facts. Facts can be in the form of events that actually happen (time and date) and behaviour or actions. You can consider eye-witness accounts, and their opinions.

Witness accounts of what happened are NOT the same as their opinions. Witness account is "this happened, and that happened, I saw this and I saw that"; opinion is "I think they did that because of X and Y reason". Either way, take people's words with a grain of salt.

🌕 Be aware of when your beliefs about people are driven by your insecurities and desires.

Check your beliefs about people with facts. If you believe something that is against the facts of the situation, you are probably driven by your insecurities or desires (what you want things or people to be). If you believe they are a good friend (belief) but they keep making jokes that hurt you despite you having told them not to (fact), they aren't a good friend.

🌕 Trust facts more than your thoughts or feelings, unless it's about your safety.

Don't create stories or excuses for people. If they have been treating you well, then don't overthink. If they haven't showed you they want a commitment, don't let yourself believe that's what they secretly want. But regarding safety, feel free to trust your gut feelings, better be safe and stupid than sorry or dead.

🌕 Trust their actions more than their pretty words.

When you hear pretty words, compare the words to their actions. Do their actions support their claims? Lying is easy. If they keep doing something, even after communication, whatever they do is who they are.

2. Pay attention to their friends.

People stay friends with people they get along with. If they befriend shitty people, there are parts of them that agree with that shittiness.

If they claim they don't agree with their friends' behaviour yet they continue befriending those people, either they are lying or their decision is motivated by something else; e.g. a fear of being alone, inability to withstand social pressure, and so on. This shows you that those needs are their priorities, not you.

3. Do they have flaws, do they have preferences?

This is something I personally check, you don't have to follow this since this is driven by my preference. I'm reluctant to trust people who don't have preferences; someone who does and says all the right things. If they agree with everything I say, if they like everything, if they don't show their individuality, then something is off.

They could be a people-pleaser, they could lack boundaries, they could be a serious conflict avoidant, they could change their opinions depending on who they are with, they don't trust me or their loyalty is elsewhere, etc. Some of them are kind people and I will still treat them kindly, but I won't get closer until I've seen the human behind that mask.

4. With regard to straight men

🌕 Some men tell you the truth, but they 'buffer' or sugarcoat it with something that can make them feel good about themselves and look nice in front of you, or make you feel good about it enough to give them what they want from you without having to give you anything much in return.

"I really like you, I like talking to you, I've never felt this way about someone before (breadcrumbs), but I can't be in a relationship right now (truth). I have trust issues, I'm still heartbroken (sad story). I don't want to hurt you (feel good words)."

🌕 Be careful with men who tell you sad stories, or stories that make him look like he needs a lot of love or help, especially if he pairs it with 'I don't want a commitment' talk. He could be telling you the true story, but let him solve his own problem, direct him to a professional if necessary. A responsible man shows accountability and actively deals with his problem.

🌕 Some men say it as it is without any buffering or sugarcoating. If he tells you what you don't want to hear (not pretty words), that's the truth. "I'm not looking for a relationship right now." Believe him. Some women get confused because "he said he didn't want a relationship but he treats me like his girlfriend, I'm confused, should I trust his words or his actions?" His words, the very ones that you don't like.

🌕 Be careful with love bombing. If he does too much too soon, it's likely that he's driven by the initial rush of infatuation or whatever he's feeling at that time. So don't immediately take this as his seriousness, it may not be. Some men don't realise it when they do this, some men do this intentionally.

Extra note

Your focus should be on yourself first and foremost; on making decisions that are good and safe for you, on honoring your boundaries. Don't let anyone cross your boundaries and make you do what you normally don't just because you want to be with them. As long as you stick by this, you should be fine.

Hi! I saw that this blogs username is not taken on cohost. Would you like to swoop in and take first dibs on that and run an account there as well, or would it be okay if i took that username and did functionally the same blog concept with it except on cohost?

i have no active plans on making a cohost so your free to use it :)

How about a hazbin hotel valentino x reader fic? The way you write him, in my opinion, is the best.

//sees this

//looks at all the people liking/rebloging my Valentino x Reader snippets or Vox x Reader snippets

I knew y'all would crawl out of the wood work once the show came out. I felt it in my bones.

(I joke, I'm glad y'all enjoy these fucked up lil dudes as much as I do <3)

Nonetheless, THANK YOU SO MUCH //SOBS writing that moth bastard was always a blast! To answer your question, I can't say for sure if I'll ever end up writing an actual multi-chapter fic with a Valentino x Reader or even a Vox x Reader relationship, mainly because I'm so busy with other projects. Maaaaaybe I'd do small snippets as I did in the past if an idea comes to me? But otherwise, I can't promise I'll actually go through with a dedicated multi-chapter thing.

That isn't to say I'm unwilling to write them if people are willing to commission for it, but unfortunately, I'm not taking requests anymore due to my schedule ;-;

jsyk "mute" is generally considered an offensive/outdaded term with ableist implications! more info here https://www.accessibility.com/glossary/mute

instead you might want to use "non-speaking" or "has a speech disability", if a more specific term for the speech disability the character has is unavailable

Thanks for letting us know. We will most likely change our descriptions. I did do some more research into it beyond the link you gave me and found somewhat mixed results, so if anyone else would like to weigh in that would be nice.

Uh, Carrot, I need help???

[EASTER SPOILERS, I guess?]

So, I was playing Easter, and trying to get the True Ending. I saved in the hallway after I got the key from the bear. I then loaded up another save file to check the Game Over screen again and when I loaded my save back up, the key was gone? And so was the bear??? Please help me, what do I do, do I have to replay from the start again??? 😭

GUH??? i'm not sure????

i don't even have the game / RPG maker on this laptop so it's hard for me to investigate anything, but if a save file didn't save correctly i don't know what could be causing that as all of that (saving, etc.) is handled directly via the RPG maker engine 😵‍💫

i can't think of any reason why saving the game wouldn't save your current inventory just for that one spot as it works correctly everywhere else? did you already unlock the door/go into the secret room before saving?

Julian what do I do? I think, tarot readings are doing more harm than good to me. I’ve become so obsessed with the future and finding the right person as I fear being betrayed by the person that I thought was “the one” or not living to my true capabilities. It’s become this obsession that’s stopping me from progressing in life. I put things on hold cause the tarot cards tell me that I’m going to do this or that. I feel guilt cause some tarot readings are really good, but every time I give in to receive advice it just triggers me. Should I just leave tarot cards alone for good or what??

Hi there, sorry for the late reply, I've been thinking.

Short answer: you should stop anything that is negatively affecting you. Long answer: it is useful to look deeper and try finding out the causes to this issue.

You should stop tarot, like an alcoholic should stop drinking alcohol, because it's making your condition worse. But your actual problem isn't tarot, the problem is how you deal with your fear. Many alcoholics' actual problem isn't alcohol, it's how they deal with their stress/life. They drink alcohol to cope, and they become alcoholics. You are using tarot to cope with your fear, that's why you become obsessed. Like alcoholics, their treatment is not just to stop drinking— going to therapy, learn self-management skills, and build support system are a part of the solution. So your solution is not just 'stop doing tarot' here, because if this is the only thing you do, your fear can make you latch onto a different negative coping mechanism once tarot is not in the picture and your actual problem will continue.

Possible problem

I don't know you personally, so I can only guess the true core problem here. You mentioned fear, "being betrayed and not living to your true capabilities", idk what's the connection between not living to your true capabilities and finding The One here, but acting negatively due to your fear means that your fear does not exist on its own. Everyone has fears, it's normal. But some people are able to take positive actions despite their fear. What makes these people different from people who respond negatively to their fear?

I wonder if the root cause is a lack of confidence in your ability to handle life when/if it goes to shit. And maybe also perfectionism. So you try to control the choices you make to minimize the possibility of negative things happening, and you use tarot to do it. When people don't truly feel that they have the ability to deal with life, they will find external ways that can help them feel more secure, ways that can help them avoid what they are scared of. I wonder if subconsciously they cannot imagine how they will be and what they can do if their fear becomes their reality, so they try hard to prevent it from happening.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to use external resources to build security, it's smart. The problem is when you become dependent on it. Because no matter how much security you amass from the external world through financial means, divinatory means, knowledge, and whatnot— life will still hit you hard if you have no inner strength. Life is not 100% predictable, mistakes will still happen, there are still things in life that can make it painful, couple will still fight, we cannot confirm that The One exists, with each choice that we make we gain something and we lose something. You will only doom yourself trying to make it 100% safe or perfect, as you are probably well aware, this isn't the solution.

Build inner strength and deal with fear

The best way to handle life is to have both external resources and inner strength. To build inner strength, you can't avoid challenges. You don't learn to cook by avoiding the knife and the heat. The best way to deal with fear is through it, learn from Pluto. The best way to build strength (and to live to your true capabilities as you said) is by putting yourself in a challenging environment that tests your strength and allows you to improve with the process, learn from Saturn and Mars.

The more often you avoid your fear, the stronger it becomes. Every time you avoid dealing with your fear productively, you tell your brain that the fear is really something that can paralyze you and it is impossible to conquer. Of course your brain will set off the alarm stronger the next time that fear is triggered.

How to do so

The solution I'm about to propose is my version of 'exposure therapy', the principle is.. similar but it's not guided or certified by actual medical professionals so keep that in mind. I've done it and it worked, fast result but painful.

You are scared of X, you need proofs that you can handle X. If you are scared of life going to shit and being betrayed, you need proofs that you have the ability and strength to deal with negative situations. Put yourself in an artificial challenging environment. Be in a situation that will expose you to what you are scared of but which won't get you physically harmed (i.e. it is objectively safe but it has enough challenge for you to address your fear). If negative things don't happen when you do this, you can take this as a proof that there are good things in life. If negative things actually happen, you can take this as a chance to show yourself that you can survive them.

You are scared of being betrayed in relationships? Of being in love with the 'wrong' person? Go out and date around, get into a relationship, make friends, trust people but be smart and healthy about it. Do your best in every interaction, accept failures when they happen, don't self-sabotage. After you do this, see if people betray you, abandon you, reject you, see if relationships fail, and if they do, survive them anyway. Teach yourself to deal with the feelings that come with these experiences and move forward. You are scared of uncertainty? Place yourself in a situation that has a good degree of uncertainty, and rely on your ability (not tarot) to go through it. These are just examples, feel free to be creative with your artificial challenge. Start small, after you make progress, gradually increase the intensity of the challenge. Crawl before you walk, and walk before you run.

Your goal is not to succeed in getting positive responses from the world (if this happens, great). Your goal is to get proofs that you can face what you fear (failures, uncertainties, hurt, being betrayed, etc) and move forward without being paralyzed by the experience, without the experience threatening your inner security, without needing to obsessively rely on tarot or other external resources to make you feel more secure. The more often you face your fear, the more proofs you have to show to yourself that you can handle it when shit happens, the more confident you will become. The final goal is to arrive to a point where you have enough confidence in yourself that you will survive regardless of what life throws at you, regardless of what mistakes you make, regardless of how many shitty people you meet. That's how you can reduce the negative effects any fear has on you.

P/S: Another solution is go to therapy, your therapist will help you.
