so for context, my main job (out of 2) is being a caregiver and i typically work with children (attendant, habilitation, and respite), but i literally just walked home from my shift a few minutes ago and my neighbor's daughter was so excited to see me and gave me a drawing and a leaf from her family vacation. we yapped for a bit since she hadn't seen me in a while and guys it was so so so wholesome and sweet i thought my teeth were rotting. and she told me the colors in my hair were cool. kids are just the sweetest things the maternal instincts in me literally screamed.
i dont really want kids of my own right now or anytime soon but man i thought i was gonna cry augh i feel better now 😭
damn you DCA for lighting that joyful spark i thought i lost, giving me some form of warm comfort i can run back to when it gets tough and bringing back whimsy into my life cause now all i want to think about, draw about, sing about, talk about, write about is you
i LOVE seeing everyone's personal takes on DCA and making unique designs for them even if there's no story driven reason for them to look like that (or even if there is like in AUs!!) it just makes you smile, and that's awesome.
we should do that more (pspsps show me your DCA designs/art/headcanons)
literal whiteboard doodle + got a late bday gift from my bsf out of nowhere at 12AM and ive been spending the morning with them!!! the precious!!! babygirls!!!
(also procrastinating on this DCA animatic im working on, if i give up im just posting the boards here 😭)
i think, when it comes to biblically accurate/canon DCA, im not particularly biased on who i like more- but i become a whole 'nother person when it's the AUs. yall just keep COOKING and i cannot keep up (im desperately trying anyways)
not enough people talk about "dont turn the lights off" ngl. this song + the daycare theme song have been ON LOOP for me. on loop while i draw. on loop while i do chores and cook. on loop while i work. on loop if i need to concentrate on something- no ANYTHING. it's such a comfort to me. this song has a DEATH GRIP on me. WHIMSY UNMATCHED. you don't understand how much this song fuels me to keep creating DCA content for myself ohhh my god.
"lights on" doesn't even compare for me (WHICH OFC i like the song + with the recent release of "best friend" im still giddy)
which, i feel the need to add, this song is pivotal for my motivation to write EBY (wip dca fic im working on rn). like idk i feel invincible when this song plays ig lmao.
i dont normally dream much at all but last night i dreamt that Sun was singing Hot To Go by Chappell Roan to me the brainrot has invaded my sleep is no where truly safe
