Boy leaves in autumn.

Gone winter, spring, and summer,

He's back the next fall.

not the biggest fan of how "society should be structured with basic care and regard for the germ theory of disease" is now apparently a fringe left position even to the fringe left, reserved for wokescolds and loony lefties who don't know when to let things go.

it is quite depressing to see that "maybe we shouldn't let large groups of people die to preventable illness" is, very much a lost battle at this point.

Heyyyyy could anyone else stand to have life calm down just a bit just for a sec just for a treat just for fun

[hurtmemoreplease]

Hey there! Just wanted to let you know that I'm imagining signs that you've lost interest in me! I wanted to make it clear that it's totally fine! I totally understand my place as a worthless, disposable object! Just wanted to confirm whether you'd like to kill me, or have me vanish quietly from your life so there's no guilt or hard feelings? Let me know!

Something I love:

Fi

Fi :) Everything to do with Fi. Fanart of Fi. Fanfiction that has Fi. The games with Fi. Fi's metal cloth sleeves. Fi's words- telling Link statistics of survival at the beginning of the game and good luck by the end. Fi's colour scheme of purple and blue. Fi's dancing. Fi's singing while Link plays harp.

I love Fi <3

hi what do you use to draw program/brush/ect wise? I really like your brushes you use

hi hi!

for my digital art i use HiPaint (it's basically a procreate clone for people who don't have apple products 😅) it's free to use and you can watch an ad to unlock premium features and brushes for 2hrs. another heads up on ads, sometimes when you open/return to a canvas it plays a short ad (like less than 5 seconds) and occasionally an ad bar will appear at the bottom of the canvas, but otherwise it's a pretty simple and clear UI. it does have a subscription plan to remove ads and get all the premium features, BUT the nice thing is it also has one-time purchases for select premium features as well. the number of layers depends on how big the canvas is. it has a lot of useful tools (gradient, clip mask, liquify, simple animation, etc etc.)

and the brush, i got from Kipzis Brush Shop: https://www.kipzi.ca/l/cmadd?layout=profile

Do you guys wanna see something so immensely Tim Drake it kills the man? (In a good way. Affectionately. I love him so much)

There's so much that could be said here, it's great

friend who I haven't seen in almost a year: *skillfully parking a large vehicle right next to my large vehicle*

me: You better not scratch the paint! :D

friend: *silent, concentrating*

my socially anxious ass: *Oh, no! My comment was not received in the spirit it was intended! I've made a social blunder!*

[uncanny-tranny]

Maybe it's just me, but part of why I never really felt completely secure in being public about my own artistic endeavors was how... being proud of yourself in any capacity for any reason is almost a faux pas, if that makes sense.

I've noticed how it's almost expected to perform the air of humility, but is that humility? Is it humility to say, "Oh, I'm sorry for clogging your feed with my awful art" or anything to the effect of self-deprecation?

I think that's why I so often gravitate toward those who make "bad art." There's a sense of freedom that is only achieved with the level of hubris that being unashamed in the number of people who hate your art. I wonder, though, how many people don't hate the art as much as they hate that they can't chastise the artist into humility, into recognizing how "terrible" an artist they "actually" are?

finding media where social anxiety is depicted in a way that is relatable to me will fix me

[maddy-ferguson]

talking to new people again is making me realize that (this is gonna sound dramatic) i haven't lived in five years but what i have done is watch a lot of movies and read a bunch of books and believe it or not that actually makes me an interesting conversationalist in some ways (?)

love working on my phd proposal for like 10 hours while in extreme emotional distress

[bitegore]

getting mental healthcare is really cool, its like asking someone to take a sledgehammer to your self-interest and then saying thank you after because it makes your life moderately easier even though you have to deal with this shit now

[hippopotatoe]

i'm tired today due to lack of sleep, and also bc i'm always tired, but half way through my work day i realized it's also bc i forgot my adhd meds this morning. took my mid day dose and now i'm normal tired. i need shit like this to help me remember that yeah, it's understandable why i get so little done when i don't work* and also makes me wonder how the fuck i used to get anything done at all ever back before i got my ad(h)d diagnosis

*only take them when i work or have planned to Get Shit Done
