#because i do that

[telleroftime]

My goal for this year is to interact with people more because what do you mean I'm too shy to? I know exactly how much an ask or comment or reblog means to someone. I know how much it means to me. So I want to be that to someone else.

you think all those celebrities that follow lewis and see seb on lewis' instagram once every few months just sigh and go "oh he's at it again"

I was thinking of a time where my brother and parents kept wanting me to come out of the closet, honestly harassing me for years about it, and trying to push me out, because then it would be an answer for why I was so weird (because this was 2000’s era and people tend to forget how mean and miserable that time was.)

The worst part was that they were right all along, and it took years to get to the point where I would or could be open. But anyway, they were not the only people picking up how extremely queer I was.

My classmates did.

Random ass strangers did.

People on the internet did.

Almost all my friends did.

Except one.

An openly bisexual girl who introduced me to Yuri, My Little Pony, and Homestuck. She let me stay at her house when it was rough at home, she got me into art, and was girl who yelled at me for becoming mainstream at one point because I got a free copy of Hunger Games and checked it out. She and I used to talk on the phone every damn day, and our relationship was really toxic and codependent.

She claimed that I was the straightest person she ever knew, which is hilarious in hindsight, but kinda hard to hear, as I was struggling withv my sexuality and coming to terms with people being right.

Which I think is ironically why I kept her for so long. Letting go of her, albeit in a really shitty, cowardly «blocking her from my contacts on all Spaces I had one day way» did coincide with me hesitantly out little by little.

Despite all of this, I hope she is doing well. I hope she got the help she needed. I hope beyond everything that she is still alive and doesn’t live with her shitty family anymore.

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

i’ve started babysitting for a VERY christian family which is great because they pay me a lot of money but as someone who was raised almost completely agnostic it’s kind of insane. the 2 year old keeps asking me to read her stories from the bible. (why are we reading david and goliath to a 2 year old????) the 5 year old told me today that he was going to bring his legos to heaven with him. he also has repeatedly told me that the lego spaceships he builds are stronger than jesus. (not sure what to say to that. do i deny it??? are things allowed to be stronger than jesus??) had to stop myself mid sentence today because i almost told them im not going to heaven which would DEFINITELY have caused several meltdowns. they’re also both completely fascinated by my nose ring

in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off

EDIT: reblogs are STAYING OFF. op was right and correct and i have never regretted making a post as much as this one. if you want to reblog my art you can reblog something else from my blog. or commission me, lord knows i deserve financial compensation for the nightmare this post has put me through

Do you ever write a sentence and then realize “Nah, that’s too self aware for you” and backspace a bunch of times.

people are saying do it scared, but you also gotta do it alone. you'll miss out on so much you want to do if you wait til someone will do it with you. do it scared and do it alone.

I'm always entertained by people doing those "canon VS fanon" memes where both are misunderstanding characters to such a violent degree 'cause like

you'll get the urge as an artist or a writer to say out loud the things you're worried about "the proportions are off" "kind of out of character" "i'm not good at summaries" "didn't get as much detail as i wanted" "i made a mistake and here's how" and that's the self-conscious part of your brain telling you "it's bad and if you don't tell them you know it's bad then they'll think you're stupid" but you've got to ignore that little voice and pretend you think it's good or else that little voice is going to ruin your life
