just found out they don’t flip absol’s backsprite to face the judges in contests in gen 4 because absol’s design isn’t symmetrical so it would be wrong flipped and this is making me LOSE MY MIND!! RAVEN NO YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THE JUDGESBDNDNDK

progress to the third demo is coming along nicely! lets have a look at the latest pair of lines to be implemented! the prompts for these ones were for a tin can mon and a soda can mon. tin can mon included a little robotlike drawing which also had arms, but in the end i felt it was more fun with just the legs. the evo is part fighting type and was designed entirety based around a visual six pack pun. two of the cans are flipped backwards as a bit of self lampooning, since so many of my mons ended up staring at you out of their ass on the backsprite. the evo is made of 6 of the prevo, and so there are 12 arms in its construction. the top and bottom cans use their limbs to make the bigger limbs, and the middle cans hold everything together. they also have unsettling organic mouths on the inside. the prevo is based on when children ‘make robots’, it collects and stores scraps of electronics in its body, and pretends to be broken if any fall out. since the two can prompts are inherently similar, for the sodamon i decided to focus on the content of the cans to differentiate them. for the first one i settled on the idea of a snake charmer baskets, a liquid snake which rises from its can and dances when it hears advertising jingles. from there i got the idea of the evo being reminiscent of a buddha in the padmasana pose resting on a lotus flower (formed from a constant fountain spray of shaken soda). i think the conflict between the ultra-commercial energetic nature of cola and the absolute minimal and calm visual of a meditating monk is entertaining, like the photos of stacks of coke and fanta left as offerings in buddhist temples.  my current dex completion (frontsprites and backsprites) is 285/504! getting there!

i started over on my pkmn black 2 cartridge yesterday bc boy i’m putting the rest under the cut bc this is my personal blog and these are personal things and the last thing i want to do is accidentally trigger/or contribute further other peoples mental health break downs, so instead i’m just going to leave this part above the cut saying espeon’s backsprite in bw2 is so fucking cute, it looks so frickin short compared to other sprites which just make it’s ears look even larger and tbh i just want to pick it up and hold it an cry

look at this tiny cute fuck 

and please know if you’re not in a good place mentally and struggling to deal, don’t let other people shame you for it (and don’t let yourself shame yourself... for it), bc if you literally cannot care for yourself, you can’t expect yourself to be able to focus your energy on helping other people without being a detriment to yourself and the people you’re trying to help.

do i need to really distract my brain from more full on melt downs and ever with “”parts of the country opening back up”” my work wont even be able to remotely open back up until the rest of country opens up since my work is production that’s customers are other companies, who are buying for their employees. ((and like a large portion of our orders are related to real estate)). and tbh i never thought the fact i haven’t been able to work for so long bc of the shut down would be contributing so severely to my anxiety/panic disorder, even more so than when the concept to entering the working world was deeply affecting my mental health before i got assistance. plus the constant stream of news in the background further increases the deterioration rate of my mental state. my mental health has not been this serious in year like, i am ashamed to admit i have been teetering on the edge of self-harm again especially with how often i’m just going into full hysteric sobbing/panic attacks nearly every other day. the sheer amount of backpedaling my mental health has done the past month after having gotten so fucking far on my recovery around the end of 2019 and like the first two months of 2020 makes me so fucking upset and angry and upset, and i know at the same time dwelling on this is literally doing the opposite of what i need to be doing for my own health; it’s just becoming so fucking impossible and makes me feel fucking selfish. like my own fucking instability of my deteriorating mental health, most of which i have very literally control over (bc god if i could just like flip a fucking switch that makes me neurotypical and not have a brain incapable of producing a functioning combination of chemical medical without assistance that would be really fucking nice), is something i feel so fucking selfish for having. and that’s just the mental health side of it. god forbid i feel bad about my physical health problems that have only been made worse due to quarantine making getting access to my medication and self-care more difficult. but HEY, at least i feel slightly less guilty about being upset about those problems bc of my own internalized ableism i hold for myself thinking my mental health problems aren’t “legitimate” problems, bc unlearning years and years of stigmatism towards mental health at a young age, even when you’re a fucking victim of it is still fucking hard.
