‼️⚠️TW // medical imagry (IV, slight depiction of veins), noose imagry, a poorly drawn realistic heart organ, intense eye contact, and a set of fellows who are in anguish

@calamarispider💥💥

recently rewatched a playthrough of little nightmares 1 and 2, and drew calamari’s folks with said videos as background noise :]! was trying out different styles of brushes and things on ibispaintX, and had quite a bit of fun doing so. i’ve been easing into doing stress relief art and this was a good example of that?

hope you enjoy yet another bout of fanart calamari haha 🐥 (<- looks up at you like this)

💙 - [gouche brushes, some watercolor] was playing around with the various palettes he was given in arts of him by calamarispider, and sort or blended them all together. I love how blurry mind looks, almost as if you’re passing out while viewing the image. fits with the medical vibe! he looks like he’s skulking away in shame or fear or something. i think i made him look weak because i’m a mind enthusiast. damn. the dark background makes it feel gloomy and mellow, but also scary?

❤️ - {marker primarily, little watercolor} i know he’s like 🧍 but his presence alone can be intimidating, that stare could drive away anyone and he *knows* it. played around a lot with layers and lasso stuff here, and leaned more into a sketchy style almost as if he’s barely there. i love the background in particular because it’s grey and not red, giving him a loss of and a heightening of individuality. doing the hair was fun XD. i specifically remember the fella i was watching play little nightmares 2 at this point getting frustrated with the teacher. silly memory

💜 - (watercolor, pencil pens) this one bounces around styles a lot, and it almost makes him seem more real? i was frustrated with it at first, but i love how some parts of him are more complex and sharp than others. mixed two art references of heart calamarispider had drawn, giving him a sketchy little eye and a more unseen bleeding eye under the blindfold. it looks cool i think :]. this was a big experimentation piece that i look back fondly on :D! I love them all but this especially. I love heart’s almost ‘angel of death’ wing cloak things haha

off i go 🏃💨

OH MAN i forgor minds crown. its ok he left it in the oven(??????)

[thewandererh]

THISTHISTHISTHISTHIS!!!!!!!! the writing is SUPERB!!! and the dialouge,,, auagh the { } and ( ) is so cool!!!!

i really really like every little aspect of this—heart’s pain and emptiness toward being unable to see, heart tying anything he was able to see in the past to nostalgia, soul’s explanation and rather impulsive(?) initial question (he wants to reminisce on something he loves with someone else. maybe he didn’t think about the question enough? maybe he thought heart would know bc he’s tied to the moon?), heart letting himself answer the question and remember the stars to benefit from it and visualize them again, the little tidbits about their world compared to space…

ahagsdhAhshskdhHAGSHDHDUD ITS SOO GOOOD!!!!! this is what i took away from it (with what i admit is a ‘just woke up gonna scroll over my tumblr likes and go crazy over posts i love’ mindset). i really love literatur you can analyze and wanted to contribute!! thank you so much for this gem of an excerpt-blurb-fanfic-scenerio thing 💛💛 the art and scenerio are beautiful and creative!! i love ur style of drawing and writing sm 😭✨

{ " Do you like the stars ? " }

It was a strange question, one that he was sure Soul knew he couldn't answer. It'd been too long since he last had seen them for Heart to know anymore.

( " Hm… can you describe them to me ? " )

He could've just said no, that he can't possibly see them, that the question was useless, but something in him wanted to know, to try and simulate the tiny little dots that painted the sky in his mind. It wasn't the real thing, clearly, but it'd be enough to satiate that little part of him that wanted to remember, that nostalgic little corner of his heart that ached at the thought of it.

Soul was silent for a while. Heart could almost hear him trying to string the sentences together into something that made sense.

{ " They're… brighter now, than on most nights. Despite the clutter in the sky, you can see them pretty clearly. All the little sizes and colors that they come in. That doesn't happen very much, these days . " }

I can only assume why. Heart gave a small nod.

{ " There's so many of them, you know? And even if we can't see them that closely, to know each and every little one is unique in their own way… It's beautiful. I wish we got to have this more often . " }

Heart had a picture in his mind, a distant memory of being in this exact place before, the endless expanse of space stretching beyond their little corner of the universe. The sky, dotted with red, purple, orange, blue, left unhidden by the excess light that usually blocked such sights. Benefits of living in a non-existent world… He could almost see it again.

( " … Yeah, " ) The Moon says, finally answering Soul's question. ( " I like them, I mean. They're cool . " )

Soul smiles, and Heart could feel his eyes on him, before he turns his gaze back to the sky. Heart expects him to say something, but the rest of the night is silent.

And for once, though it feels like it leaves an empty space in his chest, he's alright with that.

Happy Sunday bookworms!

As some of you may remember, I have been considering redesigning my blog for a while now.  I am happy to report that I made a lot of progress with this over the weekend.  My biggest hurdle was creating a blog header.  After many long hours, I finally designed a new header that I absolutely love.  And guess what?  I am revealing it to you all today in my wrap-up…

Go on, you know you are dying to see what I’ve come up with…

*Weekly Wrap-Up is a weekly post where I feature what posts were published on the blog for the past week, any bookish/blog happenings, what I recently finished reading, what I am currently reading, what I will be reading next, noteworthy posts around the bookish blogosphere, and any interesting bookish articles I came across.

This week on the blog:

Monday 4/3

April 2017 TBR

Wednesday 4/5

Top 5 Wednesday: Science Fiction Books On My TBR

Friday 4/7

Book Review: The One-in-a-Million Boy by Monica Wood

Bookish/Blog happenings:

» I won a portion of  The Bone Witch Blog Tour Giveaway hosted by Pink Polka Dot Books.  I found out about this giveaway after reading a review on The Book Adventures of Annelise Lestrange, which you can read here →The Bone Witch, by Rin Chupeco (The Bone Witch #1).  Now I didn’t win the grand prize which was an autographed copy of The Bone Witch :( BUT I did win a bottle cap necklace and a crochet Tea doll…. so this is totally a good excuse to go buy the book now right? ((right!))

» Yesterday I attended the Ohioana Book Festival in Columbus, Ohio.  I attended 4 wonderful panels and bought 6 books.  ((I tried contain myself at this book festival because I have the SOKY Book Festival coming up in 2 weeks))  More details to come later this week :)

» I am currently working on redesigning my blog, and made a ton of progress this weekend.  I finally created a new blog header that I absolutely love!  Seriously guys, it is freaking awesome if I do say so myself.  Without further adieu, I give you Cover2CoverMom’s new blog header:

What do you think?!?!?  ((Please don’t crush my dreams because I worked for a LONG time on this and I love it lol))

I also decided on a new theme, a new section divider image, and new section title graphics.  Huge thanks to Megan @bookslayer Reads for pointing me in the right direction with this.  She was the one who suggested freepik.com to me, which is where I got most of my new graphics and the images I used to create my new blog header.

*I tried to switch my blog over to the new design last night, but every time I go into the customizer, WordPress crashes… Has anyone else had this problem?  This has been an ongoing issue.  I had created a “test blog” to figure out my new design (big thanks to Fadwa @WordWonders for that idea), and the customizer works fine for the test blog, but it will not work for my Cover2CoverMom blog…

» Every Single Second by Tricia Springstubb

*Part of my Ohioana Book Fest TBR

I’m really conflicted over this one.  On one hand, there were many great aspects about this middle grade book, but on the other I think the author may have been a little too ambitious with all the “heavy topics” that she included in one book.  This book includes topics like *highlight to see text ⇒ PTSD, drunk driving, a white man shooting a black man, racism, autism, the media frenzy, etc. etc ⇐ ((What I’ve hidden isn’t necessarily a spoiler, but I did want to hide it from those who like to go into a book not knowing much about the plot))  With all these “heavy topics” plus the alternating timeline, this book felt very busy to me.  The author’s writing style was a little hard to get used to at first, but it did get easier over the course of the book.  Most of all, I struggled with how the author handled the race relations within the book.  It isn’t necessarily problematic, but I don’t necessarily think it was handled correctly either.  In my opinion, it was very risky attempting a book that has this particular scenario *highlight to see spoiler ⇒ a white security guard shooting and killing an unarmed black man.  The author gives both sides of the story, to show that it isn’t always so cut and dry.  While I understand what the author was trying to do here, it rubbed me the wrong way.  I can’t exactly explain it.  Even though this was a race relations issue, racism was never fully addressed or acknowledged in the book? ⇐  I think if the author had left out the race relations, and focused on the other topics, then I would have enjoyed this book a lot more.  Don’t get me wrong, this book had some good things going for it: themes like friendship, family, and community.  I also really liked the portrayal of growing up in a catholic school, as it brought me lots of nostalgia.

» The Seventh Most Important Thing by Shelley Pearsall

*Part of my Ohioana Book Fest TBR

I really adored this book.  At the core, The Seventh Most Important Thing is about not judging others, but it is also a story of loss, grief, guilt, and friendship.  I had no idea this book is based off of true events, though I won’t share which parts because it is better going in not knowing until the end like I did.  *Highlight to see spoiler ⇒ This novel gives a fictionalized back story to the famous piece of art,  The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations’ Millennium General Assembly by James Hampton.  I had never heard about this piece of art before, but I really enjoyed how the author spun this tale around it. ⇐ I think this would be a wonderful book to use in a classroom setting.  My only issue with this book would be the fact that it was set in the 1960’s, but I didn’t feel like I was in the 60’s while reading it.  There were a few references of the past: a record player, pay phones, going to the library to use the encyclopedia, but when I read “historical fiction” I want to feel like I’m in that time.  I wish the author would have spend a little more time “setting the scene.”  Other than that, this was a very unique and delightful read.

Currently reading:

» The Magician’s Assistant by Ann Patchett

*SOKY Book Fest TBR

I am about 65% through this audiobook and am enjoying it thus far.  This is actually one of Ann Patchett’s lower rated books too.  I think many people read the title and probably made assumptions about what the book is going to be, but then it doesn’t end up that way.  The Magician’s Assistant is more about loss, grieving, and family secrets, and less about getting on stage and assisting a magician…

» Fates and Traitors: A Novel of John Wilkes Booth by Jennifer Chiaverini

*Part of my Ohioana Book Fest TBR

I am about 50% through Fates and Traitors and am really enjoying how the author chose to tell Booth’s story through the women in his life.  This is definitely a different angle then I’ve ever read about John Wilkes Booth.

On deck:

For the next two weeks, I will continue on with my SOKY Book Fest TBR.

‼️‼️THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! the concept of whole being relative to the piece’s/third’s needs and perspectives is sosos interesting. choosing to believe and stick with something they want. whole’s malleable!! and maybe…when all of their ideas come together…they can create/go back to a vessel? of whole?

heart would definitley “”feel”” whole more i guess, because he’s more tied to emotion? whole is a vivid memory to him—a good time yet to be had. a sense of peace and relief after a long journey. a breath of fresh air.

mind seems more pessimistic, as if he’s tired of hoping for things. whole’s a goal to plan for, but with such a huge role heart and soul play, they won’t heed to/can easily mess up mind’s “plan” to accomplish that goal. you can’t “plan” mental wellness/whole(?). if he even has a plan to become whole and achieve that pipedream goal at all? the idea that they’re just in limbo and need to prove their worth to be given a life is SO cool to me.

and then soul!! it’s like trying to find someone you’ve never met, as if destiny were real. maybe if you change this aspect of your life, you can find that person in a crowded space through pure luck or chance. or it’s growing into a body everyone can inhabit. or it’s understanding yourself to understand your goal. “whose life is he carrying on his back like it’s the entire world?” hits MEGA hard you have no idea.

thank you for sharing your thoughts!! this take is sososos cool to me :]!!!!💛💛 messy thoughts on my end, but i wanted to contribute and interpret it into a brainstorm! sharing my thought trains ig. great ramble!

part 5 of the ascertain how the cccc fandom really feels project thing (idc if this is annoying. answer my polls median chonny jash fan.)

DEFINE WHOLE GO NOW

- what is Whole? is Whole a person? a state? is he something to believe in (a god, even)?

- how do hms feel about whole? do they have different opinions? which of them are right? are any of them right? is it subjective?

[thewandererh]

*checks watch. oh damn. anyways it’s not midnight*

today i extensively scrawled down (neatly ordered) gabbering thoughts (reoccurring details) about my cccclinic guys’ phycological and emotional traits (that checks out). i have. a front and back and front of a lined paper with all the lines filled. i have been COOKING. i am at WORK. i am EXPANDING on their LORE💥💥

mind and whole are finished, and heart’s almost done :]. soul will soon be too! i recommend this exercise a lot—having a place to put all your overlapping hyperfixating character thoughts is awesome, and you can figure them out along the way! you’ll come up with new traits as you write and have fun :] (ex. how they express anxiety, their general demeanor, reasons for disliking what they dislike). and!! for me it helped with perfectionism a lot! on one side i wanted to put the same info as the other (in terms of field. different ways two characters do/feel the same thing, etc) but i DIDN’t!! because notes can be MESSY!!!! and it’s AWESOME!!! and OH my god i need to sleep

also it helped me humanize characters i don’t usually think about :]. i’m a bigger mind fan than a heart fan so i don’t usually focus on him, and end up giving him a general concept for the story—a loose and shallow demeanor that i expand on less than the other two. i changed that today!! i’m don’t like when people infantallize heart or anyone of the gang, and was afraid i was doing that myself with the lack of thought. he’s a real guy with real problems and real mistakes he’s made! all of ‘em are! and those are FACTs. anywyas. passes out.

[thewandererh]

💜💙❤️finally designing some jashlings for myself…after a full year of knowing chonny…

⚠️TW // GOREY CONCEPTS, BLOOD, NOOSE/RED ROPE IMAGERY, DESCRIPTIONS OF AGONY

i have pages of designs for the three that i doodled in my school sketchbook, and honestly i can’t pick one so i’m using ✨all of them✨. switching em out yknow?? maybe i accidentally created a bunch of aus instead of characters(??) because they all have loops that happen in different ways, or maybe they *are* the same but in different loops—the chonny paradox. anyways uhm some fellas to mention: nerd mind, merve (<3), deltarune soul, roe, toy-style soul, tadc mind (half an accident), a rabid heart, simon mind, an awesome enby soul…heart with heart-eye glasses but then disruptivevoid reblogged someone’s cute render of the same idea— (honestly, lmao)

the gangs all here !!

but anyways I want to show off one design of soul in particular that has become an extremely fast favorite between me and my fellow rain-jash friend Sluggx!! it’s kinda gorey so i don’t know how to censor it :[, but the image is small so scroll past if the warnings above irk you. but uh. say hi to Dyadracide—a word i coined that means “to kill the duo”

me and my friend sluggx are going FERAL for him,,

ft roe and corona 🔱👑☀️

had the idea of designing a buttload of minds a bit ago, then recently this week i decided the same for soul. doodled him at school, then showed him to my friend via whiteboardfox :]. i draw Dyadra semi different now than there, but all his design is the same. rope neck that coils up inside his body when not in use, oversized pointy teeth (went monochromatik style with human teeth originally but nah), frizzly uhkempt hair, and a trident through his head. he’s always bleeding from the roof of his mouth, whether the trident is retracted into his skull or not. i love him so much😭💛. he has a full body and even a cute little gut but that’s kept for later for now. consider this a teaser of my inner workings :monk_devious:

ive been drawing him *SOOo* muchhh aaugha…can’t wait to show you when i can :]. building a batch of art for a tumblr post that i’ll dump later today maybe. get ready for some fun and gore galore~ (its not too gorey, just the trident-through-head-hes-always-choking-on-his-own-blood concept in full force. yummy ideas have to be explored huhu)

and off i go to have a late brunch. i always write these when i have something else to do lmao. *bites into omelette*

[thewandererh]

🖊️🖍️doing LOTS of review notes in math recently. got work done fast, so i doodled some sluggies!

Bonus Content Below: An Ode to an Old Series (Slugcat Marker Doodles)

there was a series i posted on my amino account when i first got into rainworld called slugcat marker doodles. it’s exactly what you think: simple doodles of the slugcats using my different colored markers on white paper. i still have all the pages today, I think. wow. it’s been what, 2 years??

i used to include all the slugcats—not just the vanilla and downpour ones! every campaign they added on raindb i played and drew; spookcat, martyr, wanderer, kingcat, thicc cat, the whole batch. and i had loads of fun—there are dozens of pages and countless memories made.

eventually the series stopped once i posted the last entry (a dump of the rest of the pages), and time passed. i started experimenting, and my style grew and diverged into different ones with varying levels of detail. drawing these on thursday made me remember my roots. and it especially fun drawing the fellas again with my “hypnotizing, shapely, muscle-memory-based goofy sluggie style” i’ve recently acquired.

will the series return in full? i’m not sure. my other doodles recently were just graphite because i don’t (usually) have enough time to use different colors while taking notes. this situation was unique because we were covering something i knew very well so i finished it early. and, this situation surprised me because i tried something new instead. if i do make more, i definitely won’t make the posts super elaborate like how i did originally (which contributed to the end of the series itself).

but! have the sillies for now. thank you for reading/viewing :]💛💛

edit: i have been informed that monk’s doodle got the slope wrONG💔 there is supposed to be x

[thewandererh]

What if I were to drop you in the deepest crater on the moon and just let you sit

in that crater

i would not enjoy the lack of oxygen but i would roll and do snow angles in the moon dust :]!! kick around rocks like that one time in the parking lot in 2nd grade. pretend im the uuhhhhhh space. worm. from star wars. that’s no cave!!!!!! maybe when the moon moved around in orbit i could see the earth directly above me :]. the moon is so cool chat. anyways man i miss ballpits. AND FOAM PITS omg. back in my gymnastic days,,,woah. is there a moon-crater-themed ballpit?? out there?? anD THE PLASTIC BALLS ARE PLANETS??? i was a huge space nut when i was little—black holes were the ultimate hyperfixation. i made a poster on one in elementary school but idk where it is. i referenced a space book for it and remember folding the pages so much with my nervous-page-corner-origami-habit that the words faded </3. and then years later i found kursgesagt and had the most fun watching the little birds figure out physics and tell me about it!! my gratitude journalling habit came from a journal THEy SOLd on their store!! i love it sm there’s so much improvement in that thing. took me many months to actually start writing but it changed my life /posi. amazing. friggin,,,space,,,and!! i learned about uhm dark nebulas from a district? test? at one of my old schools!! there was an excerpt about them and i looked it up afterwards. so awesome. i nEEd to make a character based off of them grraaughh..so coo-

asphyxiates and dies

[thewandererh]

going down a rabbit hole to make oc lore. kyle hill my beloved..,,,, demon core,,..elephant’s foot.,,plutonium….,,,plutonium tastes like metallic styff and im concerned about how they got that info

currently having a bad reaction to anti-anxiety meds (as always. we thought this would would be different. hopping off it soon) and am binging nuclear-related stuff. ended up expanding on an older oc to make a whole triad of weird iterator guys. researching if pluto (lol) should have plutonium or corium embedded inside them. i dont do a lot of chemistry but ive been dragged into this radioactive side of the internet☢️☢️💛✨. yes its tragic. but also very interesting,,

anyways i was confused here but adhd brain noticed a little something in the corner of my eye. waddya know. two of my interests. wowza, what a jumpscare. also im really really fond of the ‘Look Up’ feature for highlighting text. good god that was a thunder clap wowza. i love rain,,,(world)

actually was studying the nitrogen cycle in biology a bit ago. cool. kinda forgot if it was closed off like the water cycle or not. ????? probably not ??????? is it like fossil fuels but soil????? i am simply a creature with a tired mind (:pure_horror:)

dont expect this to get lots of notes/likes. i love niche interests lmao

kinda funny how im back from the dead after a washington dc trip (yippee overwhelmed !! museums are too much for me actually !!!!) for the start of spring break, and just hop on to jumpscare yall with chemistry crap. this is what anti-anxiety-negative-reaction-tired-mindset does to you. notice the lack of emojis lol

[thewandererh]

good morning chat. i have awoketh at 4am on a school morning (yikes) to bring you some flipaclip art to pass the time 🥱👍

these are from both animated projects and doodlestuffs!! ill label which they are in my caption ^^. sluggo draws all her masterpieces with flipaclip so i wanted to get in on the hype lol. and turns out, i really really like it as a drawing program :] <33. only recently picked it up as a doodling program (after a year of trying it initially) so some of these non-animation-project drawings range in age and skill.

⚠️TW // sketchy imagery of stitches, bleeding/crying eye sockets (heart activities), oddly ominous intense eye contact, SUL trying to look hot lmao

so, without further ado…

.-.

.-.

1. two good big great arts i did at like 10pm!!

drew these partially on voice call with that same sluggo one night during the last few weeks of summer, and continued it after we got off call. apparently i got a huge kick in my skills that night because these turned out different but really good. really good posing and perspective and h a n d s,, i love my art but these two slides feel like some autistic daydream lmaoo

oh!! as for context:

🧡= medical!hms whole

💜= thdph x rainworld kismet

💛= thdph x rainworld checkmate (hes supposed to be orange but ah well)

💙= thdph x rainworld deedee :3

the 1st slide emphasizes how these two got good diverse faces, and the 2nd is a joke i illustrated. silly…

.-.

.-.

2. Shads & Whole :]

aight, now for two more doodles from that same ‘project’ from above (aka they are recent). these two are my beloved antagonist shadows in his gold rush arc doing a silly, and a whole vent i drew when feeling the stress of school starting soon (that i adjusted later). as i’m writing this, im starting the 2nd week of the school year and so far it’s been really interesting!!

.-.

.-.

3. onto animation snippets!

MONSTER: a wip anim of shadows & twine (the ogs before everyone else)

APPLE BOTTOM JEANS: a joke with spectrum and sul i probably wont continue or redraw

???: and the thiRd is an animation that is actively being updated and redrawn and im so excited for it hehehe. itll release by hopefully the end of this year!! i released some gifs of it a bit back that i’ll link down beloww

.-.

.-.

4. drawings from Minnesota (+ sul)

these were from when i first experimented with flipaclip!! i was on i think a winter break? down in minnesota?? again, just recently picked it up so my latest doodles have been a lil more skillful. but i really really really like these.

aight! first!! old lizard oc art :]! hydra: lizard experiment and now boom they have 4 heads (azure is not in this one)

then there’s a black throated loon because i was getting into them at the time!! was watching lots of documentaries. ended up getting a loon plush from the mall of america :]

and thEn, finally, a really old sul art that probably surpasses these both in age. i hopped on flipaclip to do a doodle, and there it has stayed for probably over a year now. god i love him so much. OH MY GOD THIS WAS BACK WHEN HE HAD NO ANTENNAE HOLES wow this really is old

[thewandererh]

it happened! however i left my computer on for lofi so now i am sweaty 😔 big sigh

but!!!! dream journal time 🤯

i’ve had a few dreams recently, only two i remember. the first was so strikingly odd that it wouldn’t leave my brain so here goes. prolly had this one around…tuesday. last tuesday. it was about going to a jhariah concert but it was in an apartment building room and they were gonna sing my fav at the time FIRE4FUN but had to?? cancel?? because of issues ig. jhariah wasn’t even there???? someone who reminded me of Harley Quinn was singing it instead before leaving suddenlt. everything from the stage to the audio setup looked very unprofessional. i had brought my sibling and maybe a friend or two but i don’t remember. the Harley Quinn person had grey blush makeup too—aND THe face of whatshername from the fifth element. i didn’t like that movie very much. but yeah! what in the world !!!

and then tonIGHt uhm. i dreamed i was watching a movie with my frigghin…iambic pentameter iterator SUL sweetie and my son medical!whole. the movie partially mirrored medical!whole’s story but everyone was stickfigures. someone was radioactive (green stickfigure guy mirroring m!whole), and another got sick or smthn (blue stickfigure guy with realistic eyes mirroring m!soul). i started worrying about my idea to bring m!whole & SUL along for the movie because it felt very triggering. didn’t help because i have emetophobia either :,]. when i woke i daydreamed (between sleep?) about if the blue guy recruited the radioactive guy as an apprentice.. for archery????? it all reminded me of my oc Pluto’s story with all the radioactive stuff. and m!hms with the torcher. wild.

crazy!

my dream tonight is to stay asleep

Meet me! I am a: mental health advocate, gluten free eater, adhd+autism individual, emoji enjoyer, alliteration admirer, local logophile, radiation rambler, and ceaseless cloudspotter

i’m also a Visual-Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging-Turbulent Advocate!

i value boundaries highly! i prefer my relationships contain mutual respect, trust, and support on both sides. if something i’m uncomfortable with comes up, i’ll tell you :]! and you can always tell me too ^_^

i like saying good things about others’ creations, but that doesn’t mean it’s my job. i do it when i have enough capacity/energy for it in a given day. i believe all artists and art are equal. no one is above another no matter what! we are all influenced by, like, and explore different things as people, and that effects all of our wonderful art <3.

i exist to express myself. and you do too ^^! creating what brings joy leads to fulfillment and a well-rounded sense of self. don’t follow me for one specific thing, as i am not anchored to one fandom, idea, or another. i am just here to have fun :].

i reblog posts multiple times! this is me having fun, and supporting the artists i like ^_^!! scrolling on my blog to see my own stuff might be hard, but you can always sort by my tags if you want to see my stuff. cheers to joy!
