This is not a criticism of people who make Kirby merch from memes!

But as someone who likes the entire franchise and it’s many characters other than Kirby, this is simply an observation I’ve made lately as a regular patron of artist alleys in the United States lol

Fuck it, time to be loudly cringe & find my 30 weirdos.

Trafficstuck AU

Because even 12 years after starting Homestuck, I still found myself in bed one night, trying to sleep, but unable to because all I could think about was Griann <> Gudtym Wiscar.

(I’ve got so much figured out for this AU that I don’t know how to share. Please send me asks about your fave/anything you’re curious about so that I can have some direction for this lore vomit!)

Woof, god, sorry it’s been like, nearly a month since I’ve uploaded any DCA art

Engaging with fandom stuff has just kinda been tough this past month especially

I can’t believe it took me so long for it all to really set in how much fandom culture and such has changed and just how negative it’s become, and it’s been starting to take a huge toll on me. I’ve been really discouraged from drawing stuff lately because of it

That’s neither here nor there, though, I’m going to see if I can’t bounce back by just stepping away from internet spaces and focusing on drawing and such instead

I’m still going to see if I can’t continue my comic, I’ve worked too hard to let it fall into nothingness now, I’ve written too much story, thought about it too much, etc

I’ll still be uploading art and such but scrolling and looking at other stuff is a no go for the time being

Day one billion of begging PokeMas to add N’s sisters to the game and have them interact in the game canon on screen finally so I can get my ass back into the game

I totally forgot I made these a year ago… the boy still looks handsome and emotionally disturbed ❤️

I’m complaining about the paper quality and how it smudged my drawing below

Man, it sucks when the paper you use isn’t made for pencils too. I usually buy thick paper for my watercolour pencils, but I also use normal pencils too so it’s a 50/50 chance that the paper wouldn’t be made for pencils either.

Sometimes the paper is too rough so it can be torn by the pencils if I use them too harshly, or as in this case, the paper can be too compressed so the graphite can smudge the paper.

And I know what you’re thinking (I know you’re not thinking this just let me have this); “oh color, why don’t you buy mixed media sketchbooks then? These are good for almost EVERYTHING!”

I know. But they’re also bloody expensive. And- they’re good for EVERYTHING. That means literally everything- graphit, colored pencils, charcoal, gouache, acrylics, and yes, technically watercolour too- but that’s not a good thing when it comes to watercolour.

A thick, cottony sketchbook is the right thing to buy- usually cold compressed paper is a good pick, and I usually avoid rough paper.

Anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk.

it is a completely radical concept and one that shocks me to my core when someone is on my side or upset on my behalf.

especially when it’s over something i consider my own fault. although my idea of what is and is not my fault is skewed- i am incredibly hard on myself and take the blame for things that are completely out of my control.

had a client cancel last minute on me this morning because she decided she wasn’t going to receive care (despite having it booked for half a week, the app we use tells you when you get approved and who will be your care provider)

i relayed that to my subcontractor, fully expecting to get chewed out for not communicating better with the client. i panicked and assumed i should have sent a message earlier in the week. but then my subcontractor was all “no, you’ve done nothing wrong, this client is being dramatic, i am going to call her and sort this out”

and honestly i was so ready to have a panic attack. i’ve been beating myself up for two hours waiting for the lecture. and instead to be told i’m okay, doing nothing wrong? that it’s on the client and not me? caught me really off guard honestly. i don’t know why i assume the worst. why i expect punishment and disappointment. and i think it’s very sad that i’m so surprised when someone isn’t upset with me. i put too much pressure on myself to be perfect, i disappoint myself constantly so i guess it feels like “if i let myself down all the time how could anyone else be anything but disappointed in me?”

but yeah. probably gonna go cry now out of relief and sadness

I feel like I came out of the womb with raging anxiety

i’ve never been overly attached to my gender now that i really think about it? like i’m fine with she/her pronouns but whenever someone refers to me by they/them (mostly bc they don’t know my pronouns) it also feels really nice to be referred to that way, idk what it is about it, it just doesn’t feel wrong?

So while Holmes is scraping about trying to get being a detective off the ground (…and developing a couple of drug habits), Watson is getting his medical degree.

By my estimate in fact, Watson has had his degree for a year and may even have shipped out by the time Holmes is larking around his uni mate’s estate looking for hidden treasure (and a missing butler I guess)

For the fake fic titles: "Tort Law and Other Aphrodisiacs"

for this ask game! - send me a title and I’ll write a fake fic summary to go with it! 🍓

In the span of six months, Don learns much more than he ever wanted to about what you can reasonably sue someone over in the surprisingly lawless American legal system. In the same six months, he also learns which places have the best breakfast by Sloan’s apartment and the weird trick it takes to get the water in her shower to come out at a normal, habitable temperature. So, it’s not all bad…

[ AKA - Don and Sloan, from Election Night to Patriot’s Day, roughly]
