Hello everyone! A bit ago, I mentioned I made a big life update that I wasn't ready to share with everyone yet. Well, I'm finally ready! I'm going to be working on Chibird full-time now!!! I had essentially been working two full-time jobs for the past few years, as both a software engineer in the day and running Chibird at night and on the weekends, and it wasn't sustainable. Some days, I would finish work at 5, take a 30 minute break, and then start drawing or packing Patreon club shipments. I was anxious and overworked. With everything I was trying to spread about self compassion and mental health, it didn't make sense to continue working myself to the bone. In the past few months, I've been able to accomplish so much more for Chibird, like finishing my 2022 calendar in time for the holidays and designing new merchandise! And maybe even more importantly, I've been able to rest my body and soul, resting at night, taking weekends without working, and trying to exercise more too! Are things changing for Chibird? Only in a good way! I'll still be posting all my art for free a few times a week, but now, I'll be able to work on new, bigger projects, like making a plushie! I've been nervous to share because it felt really personal, and I didn't want expectations of me to change- I'm still just one person handling all of the art, messages, manufacturing, marketing, and so on, and a big part of the change was also to take care of my health. But at the end of the day, I know you all are some of the most understanding people, and you wouldn't have expected anything more than what I was able to give. I'll be going slow and steady- I won't be able to put out all the things I've been dreaming of for the past 10 years just this year, but I'll start to tackle one after the other in the hopefully many years to come! If you enjoy my art and want to see more projects from Chibird, you can join my Patreon where I share behind-the-scenes, create phone wallpapers, and ship out limited edition monthly mail! Tumblr, Instagram, and Facebook have paid me a grand sum of $0 over the years, and Patreon was a big reason why I could make this change for myself. I know it’s not possible for everyone, and that’s totally okay- I'm just glad you're here and enjoy my art!

This comic feels kind of raw, but I wanted to be totally candid and show you all a snippet of my journey that I don't often share. It was pretty tough trying to condense years of feelings and challenges and dreams into one comic, but I think it's better to just get it out there than fuss over it for another few months! I hope the text here makes everything clearer. It's been 11 years since I started Chibird when I was in school, and it brings tears to my eyes to say, I'm finally working on Chibird full-time! With much love, Jacqueline

Peeping Tomcat Milestones

On AO3     On FFN     On DA

I got my first comment on my story over on DeviantArt! 

I’ve received over sixty comments/reviews across both Archive of our Own and fanfiction.net, however no one ever said anything over on DeviantArt. The fact that someone finally did is AWESOME to me.

But wait, because we’re not done yet.

I have also officially hit 300 likes/faves/kudos on my story across all three sites: DA, AO3, and FFN. Between FFN and AO3 I’m also just ONE FOLLOWER shy of 200! Neat!

Yes, I know in the grand scheme of things, compared to great and renowned authors, a little over 18,000 total views, 300 likes, 199 followers, and 68 reviews (across three sites) is kind of small peanuts. Barely a blip.

But for me? For me that’s pretty major. For me I’m squealing like a hyperactive fangirl at her fandom’s panel and her favorite VA/actor just came to the mic. I am humbled and dumbfounded and amazed that people love my dorky little angst-ridden but still K+ rated story.

So, thank you! Thank you every last one who has read my story, supported me, liked my promotions, shared/reblogged, suggested my story to your friends, just generally showed me love. You are all super amazingly awesome!

For those fellow writers out there? I’ve been writing since forever. I’ve been writing fanfiction (mostly for a “dead” fandom: Hey Arnold) since 2010. This is my first Miraculous Ladybug story. I want to be a professionally published author. 

You just never know how long it’s going to take to get you to the end goal you’re aiming for. It may come quick. You may have to struggle for a while. But one thing you MUST do? Celebrate EVERY milestone, even if it seems small to everyone else. Because that’s what helps keep you going, keeps you proud of your work, and keeps you humble.

Keep loving what you do, and I’ll do the same. Also, once more I want to state that if I ever stop appreciating my support group and/or readers, you each have my blessing to track me down and smack me across the back of my head.

do you have accounts that talks about study x mental health or something like that? because of my diagnosis I'm way behind on college and feel very lonely here

i wish i knew someone who've been through this and can give some tips.....

Hey love. I am so sorry it took me a while to answer. I wanted to not only get some words for you but also find a few solid blogs for you to check out (hopefully they don't mind being tagged).

I've been there. I fell so behind in school I'm graduating over a year late and after getting a couple of diagnosis I fell into a major depression and felt kind out outcasted in a sense. It's not easy at all. It took me a while to get on track and on top of things and I still fall behind. I have dishes in my sink, unfolded clothes in a pile, I called out of work this morning, breakfast was fast food, my car is a mess, and I haven't begun studying for my final in two days. But I now know that in a couple of days I'll be ok. Over time I learned my patterns and triggers and show myself compassion instead of beat myself up over falling behind. Since I started doing that, I've gotten much better. I allow myself bad days with no guilt or punishment. I focus on recovery instead. I'm always here to talk and rant if you need it. It's hard and the pressure to achieve and thrive is so immense it tears you down. But I'm here to help and talk.

Some blogs you might want to check out as well:

Hello! My name is mango🍈 This is not my first time here in the study or community but I was never as active as I should have been. Most of the time I just reblog (which everyone does lol) but now I want to start contributing my own posts! As I am now a soon to be uni student, I wanted to start taking my studies a little more seriously than I have been. I hope by revamping this account and being more active within the community I can become more motivated to do some hard work! About me - 17 ️‍🌈 - Favorite fruit: 🍈🍉🥭 - Avid ketchup hater (but I think tomatoes 🍅 are cute) - Studiylog = Study log!

Interests - I love reading manga! Sometimes the art can convey much more than animation :D some of my favorite mangakas are Irie Aki and CLAMP (I am a whore for josei and shojo) - I also draw…sometimes…👀 - Exo-L (we are one :D) - I do enjoy reading! But I only seem to read Asian/ Asian-American authors and genres LMAO maybe I will branch out this year. Currently I am trying to read everything by Murakami - Also a skincare junkie, lost lots of hard earned $$$ on a gosh darn moisturizer

Academics Classes! (Currently a hs Senior so these are just my AP’s) - Macroeconomics - Chemistry (just took the exam!) - Government and politics (just took the exam!) - Also learning Japanese on the side (Once uni starts I will update this list with my current courses)

We hear so much negative media about how are bodies should look, and how we should change them to look “better”. I don’t think there is a good or bad shape though. It’s hard to unlearn all the self-hate we’ve internalized over the years, but I hope you can try a little today. Your body is doing a good job and deserves love just the way it is. 🌵💕

One more week to join the Positive Pin Club and get the very first limited ice cream chibirds pin! 🎉 I’m so excited to send out packages to everyone who’s signed up already! (ᗒᗨᗕ)

I love @chibird so much! I’m so happy with my order!

[igumdrop]

:OO WELCOME EVERYONE!!

okay okay, I know what you guys are thinking -- Jaime, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?! HOW CAN YOU MAKE THE SUB-BLOG GO PUBLIC?!?! WHAT HAPPENED TO *THAT* LIST... THE *YOU KNOW WHAT* LIST... 

and my response is... I don’t know what you’re talking about. I never had such a list. 

okay, real talk though, I decided to let my sub-blog go public for multiple reasons: 

♡ no one wants to enter a password that I change constantly

♡ most of what I say I would love to share with my regular viewers who can’t afford to sub, and this is my main source of updating you guys on a more personal basis for those who follow me more on social media and not my stream

♡ I’m incorporating a lot more sub-only things into the community, so I figured I could let one go! 

we’ll see how it goes and if it does start to feel uncomfortable, we can always bring it back :) but there’s little to nothing that I can think of that would make this weird because I don’t overshare that much... I think... HAHA we’ll see

ANYWAYS, REALLY GOOD NEWS! for the past few months I’ve had a little team of subs working on our community Minecraft server! (SO MUCH THANKS TO GOLDEYE, WATTEHMS, MATTY, MAXWELL, BRADLEY, JOSTER <3) I’ll try to log on everyday and just have a habit of keeping it online. I think it’d be cute to be able to log onto something and see everyone in the same world! 

if you’re a sub, please fill out the form that I linked in the discord! it’s also the same form you use to join the gummie gang stream team, and also for me to know what your discord usernames are (a lot of times when you guys message me, your discord username is different from your twitch and I have no idea LOL) there’s also a little response section where you can give me any suggestions you want! (stream ideas, sub emotes, etc) ~ HAVE FUN! 

AND EVEENNNN MORE GOOD NEWS!!!  

WE’LL BE ON FRONT PAGE OF TWITCH THIS THURSDAY!! WEEE!! 

I’ll probably be doing a sit-down cooking stream into a mukbang :) TIME IS TO BE ANNOUNCED BUT IT SHOULD BE AROUND THE TIME FRAME OF 12PM - 2PM OR 2PM - 4PM! I’ll let you guys know as soon as possible on discord. I’ll also be streaming tomorrow/Tuesday and Wednesday so I’ll let you guys know on stream too! 

OK THAT’S IT FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS!~ here are my own personal lil updates

BENJI HAS GROWN SOOO MUCH! okay not gonna lie, he was kinda dying for a bit during the winter, I don’t think he really did well in the cold... his leaves would fall off sometimes and yellow at the ends. I was getting really scared and to be honest I’m so attached to this god damn plant that it was taking a sad mental toll on me. LMFAO. WHY AM I LIKE THIS. anyway, I gave him some fertilizer and stayed consistent with him, watered him whenever I needed to and tried to keep him in warm yet sunny areas of my house. and YAY, SPRING ROLLS AROUND AND HE’S GROWN BIGGER THAN I HAVE EVER SEEN HIM GROW!!! 

before (when I first got him) and now! I’m so proud... only I can write a paragraph raving about my pet plant... jeez it’ll be crazy once I get an actual cat or something... 

there was a really busy week in march where I spent all my leftover time planning Aria’s birthday. it was honestly the cutest thing ever seeing all her friends get together and work on stuff for her. I remember being insanely tired during it but once I saw her reaction for her surprise party, my heart melted and I just told myself wow that was soooo worth it LOL. here’s some pictures from my end <3

we got these GIANT balloons that spelled out ARIA and it took forever to get into the car and out LMAO... excuse my janky no makeup face but it was so funny seeing us struggle so hard with the balloons T_T LOL

we spent hours late at night working on her scrapbook and baking stuff for her. I was working on strawberry cheesecake shoots and I remember cutting 10+ strawberries and thinking, “wow, it would suck if I dropped these,” and then guess what happened... 

I dropped them lmao 

anyways it turned out so wholesome and cute <3 

I found the airbnb on this website called peerspace and when I saw it, it SCREAMED ARIA...

you’re welcome for me blessing your eyes

we seriously worked our *aesthetic* muscle for this because we knew aria would appreciate the heck out of it 

OKAY ANYWAYS MOVING ON!! yesterday I went to h-mart and got a shit ton of groceries. and I realized it’s STRAWBERRY SEASON!!! there’s still a lot of stuff that I want to buy that isn’t available here though, so my mom tries to send me all that she can :D 

I love her so much I miss her so much wahhh I can’t even talk about my parents because I’ll just start crying because I miss them so much ... ok also I was supposed to stream yesterday but I took a nap... and... didn’t... haha... jaimewhatswrongwithyou.exe.... here’s a post-nap selfie though... 

I looked heckin janky but snow saved my ass 

ANYWAY I spent the rest of the night just reading and I finished my monthly book read! here are my two recommendations for you guys :) 

I absolutely love love love this book! it will really help if you’re an overthinker like me. tl;dr, it talks about the inside voice in your head that constantly battles with itself and refers to it as an “annoying roommate.” with consistent reading (a chapter or two before sleeping at night) it really helped me clear my mind and become super aware of how the voice in my head could be more harmful than helfpul. if you’re new to reading it is quite a bit to read though so if you want something easier then I suggest this: 

gosh, my life became so simple when I read this book consistently. it basically shares four simple agreements that you should always be conscious of in life. this book just really helped me not take things as personally, to not make assumptions, and it just gave me a much more simple and clear perspective on things and issues. SUPER SUPER EASY TO READ!!! downfall is, it kinda talks about religion a lot at the end, which might make it uncomfortable for some of you guys. I couldn’t really enjoy the last bits of it that much because of that sole reason but it’s still a great read and taught me lots of fundamentals I never knew I needed for my own mindset :) 

I went to LCS the day before yesterday and it was really fun because I brought a portable cut-out of scarra LMAOOOOOO the thread is really funny so you guys should go read it: https://twitter.com/iGumdrop/status/1114687260434124801

I also did my taxes yesterday (well I finished up what was left of it) during the games LOL and then I went to annie’s place afterwards because her mom is an accountant and she helped me file them. I’m soooo happy I got them over with because I feel so free now! 

hm ok ending these are always hard because it always seem so abrupt, mainly because even my 200 WPM fingers get tired of typing. I guess all I have to say is, hello new readers of my sub-blog, I hope you enjoy your time here! and thank you so much to everybody who supports me. it really means the world to me and I never go one day without insanely appreciating you guys. this month I’ma hit you guys with that dudududuududud GOOD CONTENT! <3

and alas, a few of my favorite cute lil drawings this month from chibird~ 

(+ my community) 

WELL, FAREWELL FRIENDS! TILL NEXT TIME <3
