i want to see my little freaks interact and save their city and grow into teachers and engineers and Pulitzer Prize winners and actual doctors and real superheroes and beat up middle aged petty Italian niggas but I need to put a pen to fucking paper (metaphorically) and draw. But I can’t. how can I make something about coming out of horrible circumstances a better, stronger person if my body is shutting down on me?

how can i draw people beating the odds if I can barely brush my teeth or shower or lay down without immense pain?

#am I showing my spine exclamation point by giving up?#am I making our ocs proud?? would retro just lay around crying about what he can’t do?? I mean. a little bit admittedly but she’d do it #anyway. leo would tell me that art block is only half the battle im fighting #and that im standing in my own way and the only way foreword is to just draw #robyn knows how much a seemingly career ending injury can affect somebody so they’d probably give me actual advice but also tell me that as #a person. a human being I have the amazing ability to adapt and choose to keep going. to chooose to make it easier on myself #eris would probably call me stupid. but would also probably tell me that my understanding of art also needs to be connected to my udnerstan #understanding of myself. my want to be a different artist is killing my creativity and I need to focus on cultivating a style that suits me #and stop trying to draw for other people. Sage would probably tell me to use 3D models and make face brushes and all that jazz because she’s #a doctor and resourceful and if she had the ability to have shortcuts for anything she’d take ‘em so fast. and that while getting used to #disabilities new and old is hard it’s never impossible. and that it’s unhealthy to hold myself to a standard even at my healthiest I couldnt #reach. and Zaya would call me a small minded human and kill me <3 #man. I love these guys so much and I want ppl to love them as much as Chevy and I do. I hate that this actually fucking helped #this is so cringe but im free. this is our year. it has to be
