Getting everything in order to move into an apartment and the landlord keeps suggesting work hours for times I can get the keys and it's taking everything I have not to say "sorry, some of us have real jobs"

idk why this bugs me a bit but I really don’t like when you see art or writing that delves into the dynamic between characters in a less positive way - like an argument, or clashes between coping mechanisms, or a miscommunication that causes some problems and doesn’t get immediately resolved - and you get people saying stuff like “oh they’re so fucked up” or “this would not be healthy irl but here it’s cute” and I just. what do you think a healthy relationship looks like. it’s never going to be perfect. people disagree. not everything gets resolved perfectly. sometimes there will be parts of a person you will never completely understand no matter how close you are to them. what matters is communicating in the ways that you can (which isn’t always in the way help books or therapists tell you to btw! there are lots of ways to communicate effectively that are specific to who you are as people), making active efforts to show your care (which yes, sometimes isn’t easy. that’s why it’s an effort), and enjoying this person’s company (they should make you feel good to be around overall! clashing a little is okay but they should not make you miserable!)

anyways I guess it also irritates me because I see these kinds of comments a lot under studies having to do with characters struggling with trauma or mental illness and therefore not communicating in necessarily healthy or productive ways and maybe always having issues that do not get resolved perfectly and I really can’t stand it. we already live in a world where people have to pretend to be fine all the time. I’m quite flattered when people are comfortable enough with me to let that veneer go. they feel safe around me! what a compliment! I always feel like that’s so much more than I deserve. sure things can be uncomfortable at times and I do sometimes have to say “I can’t listen or help right now but please tell me later” and that’s ok! because we all want to make sure we’re safe for each other to come talk to. to be honest with. a little personal discomfort at times is worth it. always.

people are messy. you’ve got to let people be messy. friendships, relationships, etc, they take time and effort from everyone involved. learning to manage less than ideal situations actually is going to help you draw better boundaries against things that are actually “fucked up” or toxic than expecting perfection, or for a happily ever after where all the conflicts you started out with get resolved.

idk. it’s just. people you care about deserve to not have to be ideal around you. likewise you deserve to have to not be ideal around them. isn’t that. the whole point of someone knowing your soul? the ugliness? and the way it’s a package deal with the rest of you? I would like to learn you. I don’t just want your scraps. I want every part of the whole I asked for. I will learn to manage the sharper edges.

Hi! In your recent post, (the drawing of Eddie) you mentioned that you were struggling with the coloring. As someone who is obsessed with coloring and color theory, I was wondering if you would like some tips? If not I completely understand!

But just so you know, your coloring is awesome and I ADORE the color palette <333 have a lovely day!

(p.s, I'm sorry if I'm overstepping boundaries, it's not my intention but if I am let me know <3)

its not that i dont Understand! on a technical level, i do. i've watched/read countless tutorials, helpful posts, tips tricks shortcuts - you name it! i can look at someone's art and pick out the process behind it. hell, i look at my own work and im able to go "oh, this is what's wrong with it"

but there's just... idk some sort of disconnect in my head. a mental color blindness of a sort. its like looking at a thing and knowing how it works, but once you go to put it together your mind goes blank.

i mean i wouldnt say No to some tips. you never know what you don't know. there could be something You know that i somehow havent seen yet that would help immensely. so sure!

I woke up at 6am still feeling so bad about this work sitch ugh I journaled about it at length but still cannot quite expel the feelings. my dynamic with this person has been so weirdly, inexplicably fraught for months now with so much personal criticism and weird, out-of-left-field lashing out, and I’m like has this been pregnancy related the whole time? all of this energy I’ve expended trying to read this person’s mind slash anticipate what she’ll get suddenly and inexplicably angry with me about slash be two steps ahead of her in my work at all times slash cover every single base three times over in hopes that maybe she won’t pick my work to pieces this time… like was all that for nothing? because I’m pregnant and the only way I could appease her/win her over is by not being pregnant? or am I just a bad employee and every little thing she criticizes me for is legitimate feedback I should take seriously!!! I feel like I am just doing these endless exhausting loops in my mind aghhhh and it’s making me feel crazy.

yoooo we have osmp!rainduo fictives, would you mind doing them a doodle? theyre mainly aligned with season one of osmp so you could maybe doodle them hanging around ring lake if thats ok? thanks so much!

Ello! Thanks for the request. I probably wont do proper backgrounds on all of these but you mentioned ring lake and I wanted to push myself to not just draw characters in a blank void (That being said I didn’t look at references at all sooo uhm it probably isn’t accurate to what ring lake looked like at all lol). For the sake of idk following lore or whatever lets say my gloomy shading is cause its cloudy or rainy or nighttime idk pick your poison with that .

Also uhm dont mind the fact that there’s two versions i really wanted to draw my phantombur design again since its been a while… And like might as well post both of them if i spent the time redrawing parts of it

Anyway hope you like this! It was fun outside of all the times i wanted to die trying to figure out how backgrounds work, but that parts on me not you lol. Yeah uh hope you enjoy! feel free to ask for changes if ya want im more than happy to fix things if need be -Phil
