BLOG NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT HOUR COMMENCE

Meowdy y'all. Thanks for sticking with me into the triple digits! That's so many Loops!!! Too many of them even!!! I wanted to make a quick announcement saying that with Day 100 reached I kind of want to like... not retire, but slow down the pace. I've enjoyed running this blog tremendously, but now that I've hit The Big One I kind of feel content with where I am. I did what I set out to do, which was draw a whole lot of Loop.

So from now on I'm not going to push myself to draw every single day, and instead do requests at a pace of my own choice. I've found myself struggling the keep up the daily grind somewhat between chronic pain, stress, and just generally not always wanting to draw on a particular day, so there's a lot of points where I feel like what I make has dipped in quality because I'm pushing myself in a way that contradicts my initial motivation for starting to blog (which, mainly, was to have fun).

I'm still going to post somewhat frequently, though, because I do really enjoy running this blog. I'm still taking requests (and I have a ton in my backlog I've been neglecting). If you've read this far, and especially if you've been following me since the start, thank you for playing along! ♡

a post about fic updates! so the fics im currently juggling are dog teeth, tams, and of course, taob. my original plan was to start posting the second installment of the dog teeth series by sometime in april, bc it's the fic im most into atm and i already have the first chapter done, i just want to bank another one or two because once i start posting it i want to KEEP posting it with regular updates, hopefully every 2 weeks like with kaiein. HOWEVER this will put my atla fics on a back burner. april is a good writing time for me (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE) bc i have the entire month off from uni to prep for may exam season, and i always want to write when im procrastinating my degree. which is. it's own thing im sure i'll graduate it's fine i'm fine. so if i focus on dog teeth, neither tams nor taob will get focus until like. june. which is par for the course with taob but im NOT happy about doing with tams.

SO my thought process was i can either be normal about this and just accept it's literally my final year at uni and im trying to graduate and it doesn't matter if updates are slow on ANY fics, or i can do my usual and implement an insane deadline that i somehow always make by the skin of my teeth. can you guess what i went with?

and thus i present unto the crowd my tentative plan: have the next taob chapter done by middle of april (im aware this is quite hand-wavey but it gives me a month to work with, so in my head this means anything between april 10th-20th), have the next tams chapter done by the end of april, and dog teeth can follow.

Student of the year, a great friend, the perfect son. Dirk has made every effort to do well in all areas of his life. Question is, is it enough to make him resist temptation once he finds out something no one was supposed to ever know? And will he be able to stay out of trouble with an unwanted companion by his side?

hey that's not supposed to be out there (uploaded wrong version at first haha whoops)

[fisheito]

Situation is fucked on all ends and I'll probably not spend money on anything (not that I've spent money on lunacy just the pass)

But while it is good to have a discerning and critical eye towards a business you've put money into; please, for the love of all that is good in the world, try not to spread misinformation. Also, most of us here are westerners who don't know shit about the social and political climate of where pjm is and considering that we don't understand their language most of the time, we might get things wrong. there's only so much machine translation can do. We can't assume things as we usually do because we don't know their culture (though I'm not saying to just let whichever side off because of that, absolutely not. we can be critical of a bad culture that perpetuates problems.)

If there's no source or you don't think the source seems trustworthy, always take it with a grain of salt. As opposed to, say, the artist that was involved with Leviathan and their revealed info, since they've actually worked with them, it's probably likely that info is more reliable.

Always remember that people can lie on the internet for views or personal motives.

But also, considering the straw that broke the camel's back is because ishmael wasn't in a fucking bikini while sinclair was wearing a choker and his shirt was open??????

anyway I'm gonna take a break from social media and play more switch games, and I suggest yall also take a break because hoooooooo this is so much stress for just one day cheesus fucking crust on toast

Like, I'm at the point where when I see art that I like I just recoil and feel sick. I do get pleasure from drawing still but it's all wrapped in this feeling of desperation and I just don't know what to do about that. It wasn't like this 2/3 years ago

[insecateur]

Im surprised people keep trying to make exclusionism happen. Like, idk why people apparently have it out for transmascs atm??? I say appaerently because i try to umderstand wtf is happening and all i get is a headache and the sense that everyone involve would benefit from touching grass and a hobby

i don't know tbh i try to avoid looking at that shit bc it fucked with me so bad when i was younger and i had internalized so much shit that turned out to Not Matter At All (i'll always think abt how obsessed i was with the idea that if i told my gender therapist i was depressed he would tell me i was Fake Trans, meanwhile HE was the one who told me transitioning would cure my depression LMFAOOO)

my advice would be. especially if you're young and/or not in a situation where you can access the transition you want for yourself whether it's medical or social or just being around people who gender you properly and don't make you feel like shit about it. do not get into that stuff and ESPECIALLY do not get into that stuff while telling yourself you're so above it all and it's not affecting you etc. i used to read awful threads full of people making fun of fakebois or whatever they called them back then and telling myself it didn't affect me but it did and it sucked

i really just need the dopamine hit of finishing a writing project i'm going to be so for real. i think if i buckle down today i could theoretically get it even if it's just finishing one of my little self-indulgent things i won't actually publish. or like a chapter of secret santa
