Me: Miss Internet, I’ve been having a tough time lately. Could you please show me some relaxation and self care tips for autistic adults?

Internet: you should try ABA to learn to mask better :)

Me: ????

happy new years 2025! it's been nearly a whole year since I started posting about fluffyriceshipping here, and my art has changed a lot since then! what better way to start the new year than with some sweet potatoes with their partners 🍠🌅

Gonna see my dad tomorrow and try to talk to him about burn out … he’s an artist himself so I hope he has some advice or wisdom for me but I honestly can’t picture him relating to the issue at all …. He’s always been such a creative person and constantly making things and doing things and never seems to run out of energy or steam or get unhappy or struggle with his work … I look up to him so much and I’m really scared that opening up will make him see me differently (growing up my parents were very of the mind that ‘depression is just an exxageration just get up and get through it’) and admitting to feeling these feelings (not depression , but similar feelings as it (numb, unmotivated, stagnant, pointlessness, etc) feels like it could be very scary and bad but I think it’s just my anxiety lying to me ….. even if he doesn’t understand or can’t relate I shouldn’t assume he will think worse of me … he’s a very kind person and will be compassionate … it’s just scary to open up … I can’t wait for this period of feeling to be over and done with

I wanted to share the tattoo I did yesterday!!

I really enjoyed the process🥹🫶 My “normal” art is generally a lot more detailed and time-consuming than these fanarts…something I genuinely LOVE is just spending lots of time focusing on the small details & forgetting everything else.

I’m overall really happy with how this turned out, I’ve been practicing A LOT���� but even so, pork skin isn’t the same as a living, breathing human. I think this design might have been a BIT too complicated to be my first one but oh well…I learned a lot and pushing myself off the deep end is always how I learn best😆😆😤🙏

music making followerrrrs i have a question for you about. programs and soundfonts and where to get them/utilise them

getting ahead of myself perhaps (though i likely need the extra time for. practice. given my musical ability is 'can play both hands on the piano so long as you don't scare me with anything above a child's level') but wondering what the 'reccomendation for amateurs' is wrt: making something that sounds snes-adjacent.

i have a copy of the.... well named... program Magix Music Maker from a charity bundle years ago, and some vague knowledge of famitracker. So while i'd like some software suggestions im not totally out on my ass on that one. but no idea how i use/get soundfonts/custom instruments tbh.

where i'm actually going to need to utilise this is like. a ways off so it's not urgent, i've got time to learn-- but mostly I know what I *need* is the ability to get something sounding 16-bit, and to be able to seperate out the channels, play them individually, slow them down, chop them up, etc. And my budget is Nil so I'm going to shoulder this myself where I can, since even if I could get my hands on the stems/channels of someone else's royalty-free stuff, intentionally mangling it feels a touch rude if i'm otherwise using it wholesale(?)

me: okay fuck this period shit im gonna look into actually getting this shit stopped for good

me: [looking up various stuff about hysterectomies and now seeing what potential risks/side effects there could be]

google:

me: the vague "prevention" title of the site feels sus. probably some pro-birth anti-choice shit. but if so im Very curious what theyll say

the fucking prevention.com site:

me: ARE YOU SURE THATS SOMETHING "NO ONE" TELLS YOU ABOUT HYSTERECTOMIES? YOU SURE?? YOU REALLY FUCKING SURE ABOUT THAT????

wish i could give you a hug about your migraines and medication struggles. you deserve to be cared about accommodated

thank you <3 to be clear so far i haven't encountered anyone who's been uncaring or unaccommodating about it. i'm mostly just frustrated at...not necessarily myself, i guess, but at the mere fact of experiencing new existential challenges in my daily life. it's hard and scary to admit that i'm struggling, it's hard to ask for help, and it's hard to do so with the knowledge that most people have very little real way to help other than going "that's rough, buddy"

my uncle: "missing one mortgage payment isn't a big deal, they're not gonna foreclose on your house because of one month"

ok but, it is a big deal and a worry for me. like i have enough stress right now, i don't want to worry about missing bills on top of it all

I need art advice 😭😭

what colours should I do this painting 😭😭

(I need the background to be more blue is all I know)

It's an undersea dragon inspired by angler fish, eels, and the like

PLEASE I work 20 hours the next 3 days, and am busy one day after work too, before I need to be done the painting and I'm stuck in a colour decision block 😭😭

[jcryptid]

Have to routinely stop myself from bashing myself for making characters certain races and genders bc “what if this is insanely offensive to some people?” by asking one very simple question:

Do people like this actively exist?

If the answer is yes, then maybe I can stop feeling bad about giving my beautiful, disabled, black, baby boy dnd character a love of the colour pink.

Ya know, bc art is all about translation, and people are gonna people regardless of if some random asshole on the internet decides their existence is problematic.

Beautiful thing happened today: the guy doing headshots had these brilliant nautical tattoos and I, a known ship nerd, pointed them out and said I thought they were brilliant. And he launched into how for 12 years he worked on a tall ship at one point as the captain. He got all excited telling me about it and asked if I was working on any ships. I said no, but I’d love to, have wanted to ever since I was a kid; he asks if I know so-and-so, to call him and even just being a passenger will get you credit with skippers. And at this point I’m grinning and laughing and I really want to talk more about sailing and historical stuff with this guy. He goes “Right tilt your head this way, you wanna look warm and approachable yet tough for any skippers!” Probably the best headshots I’ll ever get, those smiles were sincere. Then he recommended me his favourite book - its 700 pages and it’s 300 years of historical fiction called “We, The Drowned” which I’m checking out asap because it sounds brilliant
