#I should post my art more lmao

[scoups4lyfe]

Howdy scoups, how have you been?

-SS 🤡

SS!!!! Long time no see mon ami!!

I’ve been—okay.

That sounds depressing, but I’m not doing bad, I’m just unmedicated and job hunting.

Ever since I moved to this new state back in September of 2023, I’ve had a hard time working on my creative projects and things that bring me joy.

I’m stuck in purgatory, where I’m without meds and therefore trapped in an inability to do the things I want to do. I can’t write. I can’t draw.

I can’t liveblog.

Recently, I started writing a short story for a writing contest. The max word count was 5,000 words. On a good day I can write 3,000.

I did not have a good day.

I could barely force myself to write 100 words. Then I spent three days unable to write anything at all. I had to drink until I was drunk because for some reason when I’m inebriated I’m able to write. That night I wrote 1,400 words.

The next day I couldn’t write more than 30 words.

I was so frustrated I almost burst into tears.

I follow a lot of tokusatsu liveblogs. I see glimpses of Kamen Rider Gotchard, and the currently airing sentai and there is nothing I would rather do than watch it myself.

But. I can’t.

I can’t because I’ve grown to enjoy live-blogging as I watch tokusatsu. But I don’t have the needed energy to live-blog. So I can’t.

And that’s so upsetting to me.

Now—on a brighter note: 🤠

It’s not that I’ve been doing nothing.

I got re-obsessed with Thai BL drama KinnPorsche and it’s literally all I’ve been able to think about 🫠😫.

Started writing a VegasPete soulmate fanfic 🤡😔…

I’m also obsessed with Interview with the Vampire, the finale episode just finished airing like a day and a half ago. It’s sooooo fxKing GOOD!!!

Also.

I just finished painting something >:))

Hi chat, breaking the sonic chain to post a singular homestuck post because ive been thinking about moirail dynamics a lot. Don't follow me for homestuck though probably because this is the only one thats likely to break containment aside from maybe one other WIP in the future. Or do! I'm not your dad :]

[harryzroze]

concept art macaque >:3

concept art + weird doodles + ref for the second mask :3

I thought it was cool how the concept art looks like 2 faces a little because of the way it’s being ripped off so ayeee sneak a lil angst in there

A silly little blooper/outtake from the end of Flipping Fate Ch9 that I thought was funny enough as a standalone comic ;D

Did Les ever dated in the past? Also is he with anyone recently?

Les quit school really early, like 10-years-old early, and he started working soon after, so he didn't really have friends his age. That kinda puts a buffer on a teenager's social and love life. Though there was something that happened at a house party once, that was, uh... a bad experience, and it left him with a lot of issues. Also, partially because of this, he's not really someone who acts on his crushes. So he never dated before.

But at one point the band spent a few months in the same location (dunno the reason yet, but maybe they weren't getting enough gigs and they had to take up some part time jobs for a while), and Les developed a crush on a bartender at a nearby club.

She's the only OC of mine who's visually a bigger weirdo than Les, and he definitely saw a little bit of himself in her, and hoping for someone with some shared life experience, it's what initially attracted him toward her and vice versa.

So they had a thing going on for a short time. It never developed into anything serious because sadly they are very alike, which means they are BOTH morons who are shy about making the first move. And after a while they came to the agreement that they were better as just friends.

Floyd with his persistent crush was not happy about the possible romance at first, but he ended up being happy for Les, and he finally decided to give his hopeless longing a rest, since the only good it was doing was growing a rift between his and Les's friendship.

Funny enough it was Floyd backing down which allowed the two to grow closer. Les lowered his guard since he no longer had to overthink if Floyd would interpret anything he did or said as some kind of flirting or act of love, and he no longer had to brace himself for any uncomfortable romancing coming from Floyd either.

They were already good friends since the start but they became much more casual with each other and began to understand each other on a deeper level as years passed. As Floyd got older and more mature, and became an equal with the rest of the bandmates, it was actually Les who fell for him, hard. He didn't really do anything about it though, but Floyd eventually realized this and you know he did something about it. Though Floyd's crush had gone from looking at Les as this cool experienced older guy when he was younger to now seeing him as a shy innocent teddy bear compared to his lewd self ksjhdkjs.

So technically they became each other's first proper all-encompassing relationship. And by that I mean that besides the lovey-dovey obvious stuff, they were also best friends and helped each other grow a lot. Also Floyd by the time they got together, already started a habit of hooking up with strangers at parties, so being with Les forced him to slow down and progress through a relationship slowly and at a healthy pace for someone his age (since you can't really get anywhere with Les without a lot of patience). And Floyd got Les to become comfortable with opening up and talking about his deep-rooted feelings. They talked about issues they faced, many of which were related to Les's childhood trauma, instead of him just ignoring or suppressing it all. (Floyd also opened up about his own family trauma with Les obviously, but he talked about it even before they got together.)

The relationship, especially at the start, could still be considered questionable from an outsider's perspective, but so was the band's lifestyle in general. They were good for each other during that period while they were growing up and figuring themselves and each other out, which is what matters I think.

It was honestly mainly Floyd's undiagnosed bipolar disorder that made the relationship suffer toward the end of Floyd's days in the band. It created a lot of trust issues between Floyd and Les, and also Floyd and everyone else, heck it even made Floyd distrust himself, since he and none else knew or understood what was happening with him. This led to a lot of misery and anger that he mostly ended up directing at Les, and it was what eventually made them break up and Floyd leave.

My friend, who is reading MTME for the first time, said that their favorites are Tarn and Overlord and I responded to that “Okay Cuppajj” and then after a second they went “TGE COOKIERUN FANARTIST?!?!”

I thought this was funny enough to share

LMAAAAOOOOOOO oh no… they don’t know about my mtmte days… they dont know abt my overlord and tarn art…

I finished that dressup game I said I was working on !! would very appreciate people giving it a go because I spent literally a week on this. like 7 days off work doing nothing but drawing clothes lmao

in order to make the different body types work without ballooning up the file size way more than it already is, I had to make it so you choose your skin tone twice. in meiker you can't arrange the order elements appear in, but I recommend starting with these two options to pick out your body type and skin tone first, since some options look better on certain bodies imo

also !! meiker !! I don't hear people talk about it much, but it's really cool I like it a lot! it's like picrew, but instead of uploading a bunch of pngs, you arrange and label your layers in folders and upload a single psd file. personally I liked the process a lot more than picrew because I'd rather work with one big file than a million tiny image files, but that's just me. plus you can make the images bigger than you can on picrew too

also posting this again since I can attach it to a post with the game, but I made a tutorial on how to create a bunch of colour options super fast if you want to make your own dressup game. there's no way I'd have nearly as many options if I didn't know how to do this. once you understand the actions feature you can do so much stuff so much more efficiently it's insane it's like my favourite photoshop feature
