Why is it almost always the people whose work ain’t shit that have the most towering enormous ego about it

I bet that's Kieran's return from Hisui, with his newfound attitude, was quite a whiplash.

(Do you want to know who I am ?)

From : The Question Bombarder

Hahaha you can stay anon if that's what you're more comfortable with!

I feel like Kieran when they get back from Hisui is very similar to how he is in the end game/mochi mayham. He's that sweet, kind kid again, only more confident in himself and his interests. Like, his interactions with Nemona, Arven and Penny were so sweet and they seem like they'd be wonderful friends for him too. Nemona'a views on battling and strength reminded me of Ingo's, so Ingo is like the adult stand in for Nemona in Hisui. Kieran legit needs some sort of adult role model who is actively guiding him, and I think Ingo and Laventon (and Irida and Adaman though they're more young adults) would do him a whole lot of good.

So Kieran gets back, there may be a custody battle in the works because Kieran is legally dead, and Akari is an unknown so a whole new social security number got issued for them and now the Submas family is trying to get legal guardianship when Drayton walks in and is like that is a whole ass dead child come back to life Carmine get on facetime NOW im being serious.

Carmine who is two regions away in a different time zone: sleeps through 70 missed calls

Everyone who knew Kieran before has whiplash because this is *their* Kieran, the sweet Kieran who is now so much more sure of themself, and not the misreable tyrant who they last saw. Only this Kieran half remembers them, occasionally says some out of pocket self depreciating stuff that rings alarm bells, and knows how to work a smart phone...kind of. God won't let them join any group chats, but gave access to filters for the photo app for some reason.

After Carmine meets Kieran again she'd probably say something like "we need to tell the protagonist" and Kieran would just be like who's that? And her heart would break.

And then the protagonist's heart breaks because Kieran is alive, doesnt remember them but is happier seeming? Look how much happier they are not knowing me... (surprise Kieran takes to the protagonist again like a fish to water, and the protagonist in return is kind of protective)

Oh and Carmine consults Arven about Kieran's diet because not eating processed foods for two years their stomach is fricked. So is Ingo's (please...the man just wants to eat a slice of pizza even if it kills him).

Also everyone gets therapy

11, 18, and 20 plz!!!!!!! :3

11. How long, on average, do you spend on one piece of artwork?

This took me a few hours, maybe 2-3?

More complex pieces like this one always take at least 10 to line and render and that doesn't count the sketch phase which can involve many do-overs and which I haven't kept track of before because it would make me sad lol 🥲

18. How many WIPs do you currently have?

I'm actively working on:

7 drawings

2 fics

💀

20. Any advice for artists working through burnout or an art block?

When I'm feeling uninspired after finishing a big piece I've found it helps to just watch a couple of movies completely unrelated to the shows I make fanart for. Usually afterwards I feel refreshed and ready to get back into things so my advice would be to engage in media outside your usual genre (or medium), then rinse and repeat until something sparks inspiration 👏

Thank you!! ❤️

"man. i'm so tired. i feel like i can't do anything selfship related. is it because my energy's been sapped from family visiting and everyone wanting to do ~summer activities~ nonstop? am i so in my head about "getting ren's story right without stepping over any lines" that i've backed myself into a perfectionist corner? is the world just going to shit so hard that i can't have one (1) minute of escape on this blog before going back to working through the political hellscape we're in? god even trying to make this plushie pattern is killing me even though i want to hold my guy So Badly AUGH."

/finishes the plushie pattern after trying multiple body bases and literally buying a japanese ebook about plushie face and hair design/

"actually what if i lived forever and spent all of that time making an army of these fuckers to swim in? what then?"

sometimes I buy tickets to an event and when the event comes up I'm like.... why did I do that.

[paradife-loft]

....I don't know why I looked in the notes of that poll, it's just people having appallingly dismissive attitudes toward short pieces of writing all the way way down.

Another tribute was stalking her, she could just sense it. The hairs on the back of her neck were standing up, and though she was moving as stealthily as she could, the area she was in was far too open for her liking. She had skirted what appeared to be a dining hall (at least, it resembled the one at the camp she'd attended, when she was young and sent to sleepaway camp in the far reaches of One) and, on seeing a shadow in a window across the building, she broke into a sprint towards the next building, which was slightly smaller.

She burst through the door, pulled it closed behind her with a slam, and sat down in front of it, her back pressed to the wood. Breathing hard, she surveyed what was around her. It was all bright colors in here, and on the tables were scattered various craft supplies. Already her mind was working, trying to determine what she could use as a weapon in here besides the knife grasped firmly in her fist. As her eyes roamed the room, they landed on Ren, and she jumped, letting out a little yelp. "What the fuck!"

day 1 of ???? of making paper pokemon

Bulbasaur - i got bored and thought this would be cool. place your bets on how long it takes me to give up (my guess is a week)

also idk if i should make a new blog for this or sumthin because i dont want to flood people who follow me for the gay lawyers with pokemon / vice versa

[dandyshucks]

i love using dollar store and other easily acquired supplies for art because then I can very truthfully and genuinely tell people "hey! you can do this too!" when they tell me they could never make smth like what I've made !!! also because i am poor and live rural but even if i had money to spare and lived in a city I'd still largely get easily acquired items so i know that my art-making process is accessible to many!!!

The Art of Showing Up for Yourself Every Day

In a world where we’re constantly pulled in all directions, showing up for ourselves is a skill worth mastering. It’s the subtle yet powerful act of prioritizing your well-being, setting boundaries, and building daily rituals that honor who you are. Here’s how to make it happen, one intentional step at a time.

1. Create a Morning Ritual That Sets the Tone

Begin with a simple, calming routine that focuses on grounding yourself. Think of five minutes of mindfulness, stretching, or even sipping your morning coffee without scrolling on your phone. This moment is about aligning your mind with your day—your time to check in with yourself.

2. Set Intentions, Not Expectations

Rather than piling on lofty goals, start each day by setting intentions—small, achievable steps that honor your energy and goals for the day. Intentions like “I will protect my energy,” or “I will be kind to myself” keep you connected to what truly matters.

3. Listen to Your Needs Without Judgment

Some days, showing up means tackling a to-do list; other days, it means giving yourself a break. Listen closely to what you need—whether it’s extra rest, time alone, or time to socialize—and honor it without judgment.

4. Invest in Small Acts of Self-Care

Showing up doesn’t require grand gestures. Simple acts like drinking enough water, making time for skincare, or organizing your space send the message that you value yourself. The key is consistency—building small moments that reinforce self-worth daily.

5. Embrace Gratitude and Reflection at Night

Each night, end your day with a few moments of gratitude and reflection. Acknowledge your efforts and appreciate the small victories, however minor they may seem. This habit builds resilience and makes it easier to show up for yourself again tomorrow.

Showing up for yourself daily is about building a life that feels both empowering and graceful. It’s an art form, crafted by listening to yourself, honoring your needs, and taking small steps toward the best version of you. So here’s to you, showing up with intention and elegance, every day.
