It's so irritating hearing things like: "All countries are just imaginary, those are just lines on a map. Why would anyone care about that stuff?"

Bitch, gender is imaginary, race is imaginary, days of the week are imaginary, but all of those things are impacting your life nonetheless. Money as a concept are as legitimate as those lines on the map; does that mean that wealth inequality magically doesn't matter anymore?

Like, I'm glad you're existence is so safe you can barely care about the country you're living in, but for some of us the movement of those lines on the map is the matter of life and death.

Kinda think fanfiction should be understood in the context of oral epics

As a mixed woman(black & white) in the USA seeing Kamala Harris stand so proud and not let people who openly deny her heritage and her ethnicity bother her brings me such joy because it hurts my feelings when people try to deny that I'm mixed or make me seem like an exotic bird. she literally is unmoved by it and I aspire to have that strength.

Don't overthink; simply feel!

Understanding lies in feeling, not just in the realm of reason.

Hi, just wanted to pop in and say sorry for no art lately. I'm trying to work with my PT to find ways to keep working with less strain. Right now I have a couple of commissions under me and I'm trying to work on those as best I can (I know the wait times are a bit longer right now and I do apologize for that).

I'm trying to get my studies, work and sick leave paper work done, and I'm hoping I can get government aid to afford my meds, since my living benefits will be cut by 80€/month due to government re-working the student benefits act. I am still working somewhat full time at the school and with the children's social services. It doesn't really pay much but the little extra income is necessary right now.

I really want to get back to art, I see all of the wonderful art this community makes and it inspires me to no end. So thank you for sharing all of that.

I hope tomorrow brings more answers, I hope tomorrow is brighter.

Love you all, and hope to see you soon Tuomo

a handful of my favourite drawings this year

gonna just bury a personal post in here too, give it a read if you fancy:

as i've said a few times, this is the first year in a long time where art has had no monetary component for me, and it still took a little while, but i feel like this is the year where i've actually managed to de-program myself from years of being a Twitter Artist, and switch over my mentality from drawing what i think people want to see, to what i want to make, and also learn not to force myself not to draw if i don't want to, and on that note i dunno if i'm just feeling residual burnout from the years of grinding out for twitter or what, but i was kinda surprised how small my appetite for drawing actually was

that said, when i do draw now, i know it's because i'm actually really excited to be doing it and i feel like it's shown in the results tbh, there's way less drawings this year where i felt like i'm just going through the motions and drawing for the sake of getting something out there, and i look back at basically everything i've drawn like "yeah, that was cool, and i had a lot of fun making it"

part of that is that i've also discovered just how important it is to actually enjoy every part of my art process, i've sorta just cut out parts i don't enjoy - i'm way more willing to just leave things looking slightly wonky, and i haven't done any fuckin lineart this year at all, i've cut that shit out entirely because i don't like doing it, instead i just spend 10 minutes cleaning up my sketches and go straight to colouring and it feels like nobody's even noticed, it rules lol, and i've put a bit more focus on making things that feel like "scenes" rather than just "pretty girl in white void (with optional background circle)", not that all my art needs to be that, but it's been satisfying taking the time to just draw little simple backgrounds or focus on building an overall vibe, rather than just the character

tl;dr dumbass girl learns to have fun drawing again by not giving a fuck

love u lot <3

My dog and her stupid face and her dumb little noises

Seeing my plays performed by humans! Hearing nice things about my writing.
