#Hopefully I’ll stick to it

Heyyyy darling @oh-shtars I have finished your DTIYS!

You are in luck because I likely would not have finished this if I had not been struck with a drawing fever at 3am today

(It is currently 3:33am… a lovely time to be on Tumblr)

But nevertheless! Here is my take on your Ashueño meet cute!

I actually coloured it! I used the reference colours for Sueño and sort of made the assumption that his hair was glowing. Bonus if you know what the other light source is

I tried to make Sueño as scared as possible, after all this is the third human he’s met, and the first two Mother Gothel’d him bad. He is terrified that she might do something to him. I just love brutally traumatized boys 😇

For Asha, I tried to make her expression more surprised and shocked than afraid. After all, she’s the servant to Magnifico and Amaya, and I’m sure she’s seen magic around. Plus… this weird, glowing young man was kind of cute. There’s no coloured sheet of her Act I outfit but I tried my best based off of the royal couple’s colours

Fun fact, this was the first finished art piece I signed with my new name! I quite like it :3

Well, that didn’t go as planned; I didn’t even do this for one day as I kept wanting to read. Anyway, I’m slightly revising this for 2024– I’ll start with writing for at least an hour and then I’ll read.

I think I’m going to be trying a new routine this month. I’m going to try and read until I need a break from reading for the day and then I’m going to listen to music and write for at least an hour afterwards. I don’t know how well this is going to work out but *fingers crossed* this goes well.

I’m also going to hopefully put together two book playlists for two of the three books I can currently see myself writing tonight so I have no excuse to procrastinate tomorrow. The third book already has a playlist.

im taking a break.

it’s not just about the election. It’s something that’s been happening for a long time. My mental health has been pretty up and down lately, and slowly I’ve been trying to cut out some of the sources of those mood swings.

I thought I was doing better on here, moderating my exposure to certain topics that I knew would upset me, but it just leaks in. It always leaks in. And I think tonight was the breaking point where I realized that, regardless of who wins the election, I’m not going to be having a good time on here.

It’s perfectly understandable to be anxious. It’s perfectly understandable to vent. But I’ve seen so many posts turn to total catastrophizing and doomerism, and there isn’t really a lot of criticism about this kind of mentality that I see on here. It seems like it’s just…accepted that you think about the worst-case scenario all the time, that you constantly immerse yourself in all the bad things happening in the world, that you have to drag yourself down into despair and hatred and nihilism in order to have any kind of effect on the world. If you don’t? The consequences are catastrophic.

“If you don’t vote ___, the world is going to end and your rights will be taken away.”

that’s one of the main things I’ve been seeing tonight, for the past few weeks, months, year. And I can’t believe it. I’ve lived through those claims before, in 2016, and they never really happened. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want a clown for president again, but I don’t think treating him as this bogeyman who will ensure the downfall of the entire human race is going to help.

we don’t know. We don’t know what’s going to happen. I sincerely doubt that Project 2025 is going to go to fruition, because there are already so many good people out there willing to fight against it. But I don’t see that sentiment often on here: just that nothing be done against it, nothing can prevent it. We can only lay down and die.

So many posts have that mentality. So many times have I seen people think the only way out is death.

I was starting to think that too, recently.

It’s not healthy. It’s not going to change anything. People need you alive and healthy to fight the good fight. I WANT to be alive and healthy. And in order to do that, I need to turn my thinking around.

I can’t do that and stay on here.

I don’t know when I’ll be back, but I do want to say that I’ll be ok. I have my support system, I have my things to do, I’m going to be politically active anyway regardless of the presidential outcome. I just hope that you all can do the same for yourselves. Please take care of yourselves. Please be kind and take breaks when you need to. Don’t burn yourselves out on activism. Don’t think that death is the only way to ease the pain.

It’ll be ok. I love you all.

making my silly little drawings to submit to a zine even tho i know it won’t get accepted because it’s nice to draw things anyway and deadlines fix my art block

If it’s really the end then I just wanna say I’m so greatful for all the new friends and fun memories we’ve made throughout the past year- these past few months in particular were very hard and I’ll be heartbroken if this is really how it all ends… but I’m glad I spent it with all of you- muito obrigado 🫂

new hobby just dropped:

[sailforvalinor]

I’ve gone ahead and tagged all of my AO3 stuff with the Salt and Light tag—I’m not sure if anyone in the Salt and Light circle is into Kingdom Hearts or Legend of Zelda or anything that I’ve written thus far, but it’s all there just in case 😅

[coffeebanana]

Oh.

[ghostykapi]

ok i don’t say it a lot but to everyone who interacts with my work with likes, reblogs or comments i just wanna say thank you for that like it might be not be a lot for some people but it helps me be a better writer (even if my career path is not really anything near it) and keep trying even if life is a lot
