#I will be using artfight as therapy

[helldenizen]

First Artfight year let’s gooooooo

[floweyheadcanons]

Headcannon Time!!! So, Flowey is a jealous boy. He at first hated Martlet, Starlo, and Ceroba for taking Clover from him. He was able to tolerate them for a few hours at most after Clover's death, and about 5 years of just listening to them talk or talking to them for a few minutes. He learned how to play the harmonica for Clover to hear. Clover died 2 days before their birthday...Clover knew they weren't gonna be alive for their 10th birthday...Flowey doesn't do well with the day Clover died or their birthday. He saw how Clover was so calm with dying that he knew something was off, he never asked though and never will. He wants to live in bliss that Clover wasn't dying from the beginning or that Clover chose to die at the first place, because they came down here to save the human souls... Flowey secretly looks up to Sans. Flowey feels the need to give Clover a gift every single birthday for Clover, because they couldn't celebrate it together. Clover told him that he could care less about their birthday...he hates that Clover told him and he wants that thought to leave him alone. He had the most fun in years with Clover that day, it allowed him to feel emotions for the first time in many years...he never felt it again until he saw Clover. He was happy :)

And now the Gusty Gaggle. They were supposed to be named "The Gutsy Gaggle," but they all failed a spelling gutsy, so just went with Gusty. They have some members who join in sometimes, but it's mostly just Flowey, Clover, and Kanako. Clover is the leader, Flowey the brains, Kanako the one to get them out of trouble, when not causing it. They all have matching pins. They reside in the Ghosty South, even though Flowey can stay in Frisk's town, he just won't. They may or may not have thought of starting a band. They will take down Alphys when they see her, Flowey being the one doing most damage.

Now, some questions. Do you think that at the end of UTY, when it said "Someone called for help, you answered the call" that it was during the Asriel fight or Omega Flowey fight? I say that it first happened in Omega fight, but Frisk, under their breath asked for help to SAVE Azzy, so Clover came and saved him. Allowing Frisk to win. With is Flowey's favorite amalgamate? What's his favorite type of music? Will he kill Mettaton of Clover asked him to join them too? Has Clover allowed Flowey to play the harmonica? Does Flowey look up to anyone? What's Flowey favorite plant? Has he ever cared for other fallen humans? Has he and Dalv ever drew together? Does Papyrus know he's Asriel? Will he get therapy? What's his relationship with Axis? Does he pretend to be Dasiy? (Axis's wife, girlfriend, fiancé?) Will he care for Kanako after the barrier is open?

(HERE IS SOME MORE COOKIES FOR YOU FLOWEY!!!! ALSO SOME ICE CREAM AS WELL!!!! YOU DESERVE EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD!!!!! I GET YOU SOMETHING TO DRINK NEXT ASK!!! WHAT YOH LIKE?!?!? Also, I'm thinking of making a Gusty Gaggle ask blog and would like to use your photo as the pfp or background image, if that's fine with you. I GET MORE SWEETS FOR YOU SOON MY FLOWER FRIEND!!!! ENJOY!!!!)

oh my god the asks are slipping through my fingers... curse you artfight and general procrastination...

YEEAHHHH GET HER GUYS!!!! The Gutsy vs Gusty Gaggle is also a lil funny to me because for a bit I thought you misspelled Gutsy and almost called them the Gutsy Gaggle. Only kept it the Gusty Gaggle cause it also works oddly enough.

1. Do you think that at the end of UTY, when it said "Someone called for help, you answered the call" that it was during the Asriel fight or Omega Flowey fight?

I always assumed the 'You answered the call' was for the Omega Flowey fight. On the topic of who saved Asriel I always thought it was Chara because that made the most sense to me, since it would explain how they had those memories locked and loaded.

2. What is Flowey's favorite amalgamate?

Been a while since I played pacifist route but I think it'd probably be Endogeny since it is a giant dog. He'd probably play fetch with it to keep his throwing skills from declining just in case he needs to throw something really far one day. He also generally finds it entertaining to watch the dog run around.

3. What's his favorite type of music?

Undoubtedly breakcore, he'd go wild if you turned on breakcore.

4. Will he kill Mettaton if Clover asked him to join them too?

I don't think he'd kill Mettaton if he tried to join the Gusty Gaggle, merely decline because he isn't cowboy enough. But... If Mettaton were to hurt anyone in the group, Flowey would react more violently.

5. Has Clover allowed Flowey to play the harmonica?

Clover does allow Flowey to play the harmonica, it's just that sadly he's very bad at it. This can actually be repurposed into an attack funnily enough! He plays the harmonica in the most grating tone he can until you fess up to the murder.

6. Does Flowey look up to anyone?

Don't tell anyone but it's secretly Sans.

7. What's Flowey's favorite plant?

His favorite plant is an echo flower because they're just like him, they're just like him fr!!!!!

8. Has he ever cared for other fallen humans?

Excluding Chara, nope.

9. Have he and Dalv ever drawn together?

I think Flowey secretly draws things and tries to sneak them into Dalv's storybooks. He's trying to see how long he can do this before Dalv notices he did NOT draw those.

10. Does Papyrus know he's Asriel?

Most likely not, as Papyrus isn't close enough to Flowey for him to really want to tell him such an important thing. Maybe he hints every now and again that he wasn't always a flower, but he doesn't tell him that he was Asriel.

11. Will he get therapy?

Flowey is most definitely getting therapy, though I think it would take a while for him to actually trust said therapist and I think he'd have to switch around a bit.

12. Does he pretend to be Daisy?

For the funny, I think he does. He finds it hilarious that Axis fell in love with a pile of junk and even named it.

13. Will he care for Kanako after the barrier is open?

He says 'welcome to the secretly revived children club!!!' when Kanako gets up and agrees to hide her from her mother because he really, really, really hates Ceroba.

A Warning About RainbowDelicArtz/JeannieHobbes

DISCLAIMERS:

1. This post is not being made to instigate mass harassment or spread false information about this individual. I do not, and never will, condone harassing other people, it solves nothing. The purpose of my post is to warn others and stop someone else from getting hurt. Due to Dakota's disturbing history with children especially, I feel it is important for the public to be aware of her presence and know she is to be avoided.

2. Any claims made against Dakota should be considered allegations until tried in a court of law. As is the law of the land, Dakota should be considered guilty until proven innocent.

3. Dakota, if you're reading this, I would like you to keep this sentiment in mind; I do not want you to harm yourself or take your own life. As stated previously, I do not condone any harassment sent your way. What I want is for you to permanently leave the Internet and seek therapy.

@/rainbowdelicartz, also known previously as JeannieHobbes on DeviantArt, is a digital artist on Tumblr mostly involved in the My Little Pony and Child's Play communities. She currently possesses two other Tumblr accounts (@/rainbowdelicgalore and @/rainbowdelicsunshine) as well as profiles on ArtFight (@/RainbowDelic) and Toyhouse (@/RainbowDelicArtz).

This was someone I was associated with for many years on and off, but in time I have realized that Dakota has done scummy things. She is extremely manipulative and have shown concerning behavior with children especially in the past. While I cannot provide more information on that front, I can at least prove to that this is Dakota's new profile.

To begin, below is an exchange the two of us shared on Discord. Most of this conversation is not extremely relevant, but the important takeaways here are that I redesigned two of their old My Little Pony characters, Neopolatan Truffle and Can-Dee, who were associated with one of my own OCs, Star Shimmer.

Below are the original references of said OCs from the JeannieHobbes account.

Also included are pictures drawn with these two and Star (my own OC mentioned above), as well as a mention of Star and my old DeviantArt account (the platform where I originally met Dakota).

I acknowledge that little will likely come of this post. However, Dakota is someone I feel is dangerous enough to warrant flagging her current platform. As I have made painfully clear, do not harass her. Just spread the word and stay away.

And if you are by some awful chance someone who has been victimized by Dakota, you are free to reach out to me. You deserve to be heard and your story matters.

Lots of FNV fic today.

Also today: Took the scraps from the Facets quilt pieces (which still need trimming to size) and realized I could make a whole lot of small HSTs from them. Made 90 of those. Next is finding a pattern that I can use all these little HSTs in.

Got some art refs together, remembered a piece I started on and then set aside because of Artfight, so I should get back to that one. Okay, there's a lot I need to get back to (the Art Therapy fic, the art piece, the other art journals, FAFO, Fannish50 essay/meta posts, putting away the laundry...)

gonna do smaugust this year to usher in the quarter of a century anniversary of my arrival onto this lovely rock of ours

riding a bit of a high after getting SO MUCH DONE for artfight this year

Not even counting the very violent rekindling of my passion for Knights and drawings them, or my sudden and not at all unwelcome discovery of pixel art

Like I've drawn more in the last month than the last two years combined and it feels good. Not to get sappy but I've been dealing with a lot of really dark mental health shit and rediscovering my love of making stuff has fundamentally helped. That and medication + therapy.

I used to not share my stuff anywhere with anyone because I was afraid it wasn't perfect or good or whatever but being at my actual lowest I've ever been kinda made me realize that it doesn't matter if what I make isn't perfect or revolutionary, it just matters that I make it.

And then what happened next blew my fucking mind! People actually liked what they saw! That has never in my life been a thing that has happened outside of a select few friends and like... my mom. So yeah, sorry not sorry for being sappy on main. Prepare for dragons.

[cherryjasper]

i don't post my art much here more mainly cause i really don't draw much anymore, not nearly as much as i used to.

it's honestly kind of upsetting but i don't really know how nor do i really have the motivation to change it. i feel like i can trace it back to me absolutely burning myself out from drawing like, 80 pieces in a month during artfight 2021 but it's been almost 3 years now and i feel like i keep drawing less and less! when i could be drawing i play video games instead or browse social media. i feel even less drive now i am no longer friends with someone (i will not disclose why) who i realize now was a muse to me. now that i no longer have that, what little motivation i do have to draw has been washed down the drain. i want to keep making art! i want to draw more! but when push comes to shove i just can't. i have no inspiration, no drive, no clue. i've heard some people do studies when they have art block but i have always found those painfully boring with a few exceptions and i feel like making myself draw something i do not want to draw will only make the problem worse.

i know it's normal to grow out of hobbies and interests as you get older, but i don't want to give up art as a hobby. i do love it, even if i don't interact with it nearly as much as i used to. and maybe it is fine that i only draw once every few days, with my progress only being a few sketches using a symmetry tool, but compared to my previous output, it just makes me feel disappointed in myself and as a result makes me want to draw even less. i wondered if getting better mentally through therapy was making me have less motivation to do art and i have less to express now, and what i do need to express can be talked to with my therapist, but i've been off antidepressants and out of therapy for almost a year now after leaving it very suddenly due to my new therapist quitting a month after my old therapist set me up with her, and as a result the pills i was already forgetting to take for weeks on end falling completely to the wayside (so much that when I tried to take them again I had completely lost the tolerance i had built up to them and felt horrible, and was scared off from taking them again), my mental health has been slipping downwards again very rapidly and yet i still have no motivation to do art. i will admit, when i began to round up the art i had done for last year i did a lot more than i thought i did, and that made me feel really good, but i am falling right back into the pithole of also worrying about not making enough finished pieces this year and that making me so anxious that i end up getting a sort of paralysis that makes it hard to even pick up my tablet. that, and i also got a girlfriend, and while i do love her a LOT, she's in a pretty bad situation physically and mentally and i feel obligated to spend most of my free time with her, even when i know she wouldn't mind me taking time to myself to draw. i feel like my skills are decaying which makes the anxiety even worse, as i feel like whatever i will attempt to draw will look like complete shit. i really feel like i need to see like, an art therapist, or talk to someone who has had the exact same problem as me to the exact same extent, because asking people before hasn't really yielded me any answers that have helped me.

tldr: my relationship to art has been very bad the past couple of years and has been causing me to get severe anxiety over not doing art enough art and as a result feeling like im regressing in skill, causing me to avoid art more despite not wanting to let it go as a hobby and i have yet to find a solution or way to relieve my problem

normally i would keep super windy vents like this private but honestly i would love to talk to people who are facing the same problem as me. i love following other artists but i feel terrible seeing them output so much and meanwhile all i can do is a scuffed sketch of a head every 5 days

[artfightdramaconfessions]

I recently learnt about a drama regarding an user that used su*c*de guilt trips amongst some very awful stuff, and made other excuses for their behaviour.

What upsets me the most is that I thought this was a nice person, and had very few chats with them in dtpay... Then I learnt about this drama through a friend of mine who was nice to share enough to link a document with proof on this person.

I do genuinely hope they get help, even if they're this toxic... I do still think people like this should get therapy and improve as a person, and learn social boundaries. As well as some self-respect.. You don't just throw around these things like this. ''Because I have autism..'' Was one of their excuses apparently. I have autism and I would never use my autism as an excuse for my behaviour. If I'm a dick to someone, its totally on me, and I should do something about that behaviour. I'm not perfect myself, but damn..

I'm just really uncomfortable and on my heel, its going to be artfight next month and I want to focus on the good stuff. But I might as well prepare a block-list for some people just in case. I really don't want to be dragged into drama because people think I'm friends with someone like that just because of minigames- I didn't know.

Makes me rethink if dtpay is really a good place honestly. On the website its easier to block someone than minigames.

But this person should, for their own health- and the people they affected, just leave artfight honestly. You can't just bully yourself into being the victim. It doesn't work that way.

[tantum-tenebris]

So I kinda discovered your DS OC Matthew. Do you mind telling us more about him plz?

sure!

so a long time ago my friends and i made a ds tabletop rpg where our characters were the descendants of the survivor crew (most of them being the grandkids, with the exception of wx)

matthew’s grandparents are wilson and willow and he has one older sister. he works at a blockbuster video in oregon and is best friends with wigfrid’s descendant, markus. he and markus go on ghost/cryptid hunts all the time even though matt doesnt believe theyre real, he just does dumb stuff with his best friend all the time and rides or dies w him. on the outside he looks constantly upset, bored, and gloomy, but it immediately flips around when he’s with markus.

he’s got his grandpa’s hair and is very annoyed when people tell him he’s a splitting image of him. he also has pyromania that he goes to therapy and tries to get treatment for (once he tried smoking, but got discouraged because his lungs are bad). so he copes by keeping a tiny lighter on him, flicking it on only if he needs to. 

ive got a tag for him here if u wanna know more, and also his artfight page has a lil more stuff
