#ANOTHER anxiety comic?

[asktheemotions]

PART 2 of: What would've happened if the other emotions didn't forgive Anxiety?

IM BACK BABY! Oh boy, this was a LOOONG answer to an ask. I took a break from this series to work on stuff on my main art account. (I will reveal that soon) I lost motivation to finish coloring this one, I'm sorry 😭 If I've learned anything, it's that I can't push myself to finish something or else nothing will get done. This is meant to be fun, not anxiety-inducing.

Deciphering, page 108-110 [Previous page]  [Masterpost]  [Next page] Hello, Dahlia. Wooooooooooof. We are getting closer to a quite dreadful scene (especially for me, it will be hard to draw), but for near future pages just enjoy the ride with mystery solving and little Gummy moments. There will be lighthearted scenes... before that one x') Also enjoy my Dahlia's redesign concept art.

Magneto had a really great character arc in the 80s which just got completely chucked in the bin because the new editor taking over the title thought that he should always be a one-note maniacal villain, and I'm disappointed to see X-Men '97 doing the same because the ex-showrunner wanted to recreate his favourite issue.

Little Morgan doodles

I had to watch some bullshit training videos at work so have some simple Morgans I drew to get me through it.

Pathetic whininggggg

1) second time in three months i have a multi-day visit with these two specific toddlers. Both times i have learned after arriving they were sick (as is the way of toddlers). Both times, they have immediately steamrolled my innocent, child-free, unprepared immune system (as is the way of toddlers). In july, I was flattened for a week and had a gross cough for a literal month. If this happens again, with my brother's wedding around the corner, I am going to SCREAM.

(i also need to find a way to politely tell their parents that pls, im dying, you can't keep doing this to me)

2) end of the week is end of the fiscal year! Tuesday begins vacation time relating to my brother's wedding! I have so many deadlines, which were rough as hell even before i started wasting all my energy SNIFFLING, but now I'm moving slower than ever and the deadlines are getting real spicy

3) I get a reduced buff from creative work that is assignments and not just Personal Whims. And... it's been all assignments lately, at a slower pace than usual. I know that getting frantic and anxious over how long it's been since I posted anything exciting is silly and unproductive, but it's still HAPPENING. And the real metric of concern is the frequency with which I make things, and i finished the blanket and second guest book a while before i shared them.

I know that realistically, what I need to do right now is hurl myself into a project or three to restore my mental equilibrium, but even in the most, MOST optimistic case, I won't be able to start until tonight, and I really OUGHT to wait until Thursday/Friday. I think that if i stick to my strengths, i have time for some good work before the wedding runs me over, but part of this includes boring work to prepare notecards for the first guestbook, which.... bluhhhh. And of course house things are ramping up overall anxiety levels and i need a repetitive craft to self-soothe. This is killing me. I can recognize this flavor of seething dissatisfaction, but external pressures and stupid health shit are stopping me from applying corrective measures. If I can lean into deadline anxiety with my meetings today, that might help me accelerate towards breathing room, but... ugh.

I seem to be literally cursed to never have a good Pride every year, which is definitely homophobia. I also blame my town for having it in late September for some reason, which is generally the month of the year bad things happen and the mental illness hits the worst for me. June is usually fine.

[un-pearable]

he is. so important to me

[cozylittleartblog]

What would Val be like as a friend?

he looks out for people :) only so much of it is programming, he cares about people so much, more than anyone else in his unit did - even if he acts like he's only hanging around out of obligation or convenience. so you can imagine it's hard being friends with so many folks who do such dangerous work for a living, but he says those are the kinds of people who need someone to lean on most of all. he hates feeling unappreciated, and he'll give you a verbal beating if you need sense knocked into you, but no matter what happens his clinic doors are always open to you

also he's generally very quirky and sillygoofy, he is not a robot who tries to humanize himself. he is strange, and he thinks everyone Else is the strange one.

What it feels like.

Sometimes anxiety and dread can hit so hard even simple tasks like putting away the dishes, or sweeping the floor feel like sticking your hand on a hot stovetop. The more you think about it, the more freaked out you get. And sometimes it does, in fact hurt, like finally sweeping the floor, but the dread wont go away. You feel like you're dying, and you just want to be done. Then you wonder how you're ever suppose to function in society when any task can feel like this.
