#yes I've been planning this for weeks

THANK YOU SHIFTING PATH!

Happy Calibration/Exalted Secret Santa 2023!

I think I speak for all of us when I say I'm astonished you've been organizing this event (aka herding internet art cats) for so long. I know this nerdy little community looks forward to it every year.

This year, in honor of the milestone, I wanted to acknowledge your efforts in a bigger way, and I got almost all of this year's participants to join in. Thank you to everyone who let me put your artwork in Path's little art gallery there, and thank you extra to the folks who left messages as well!

I hope the new year is treating you all well, but no matter how it's going, at least we've got this little community here, and I think I speak for many of us when I say I value that a great deal. Here's to the next 15 years!

(Disclaimer: I didn't know until AFTER I drew this that someone else started this and that Path took it over after year one, but I'm still giving Path the credit for *getting* this event to the 15-year mark. That is still one hell of an accomplishment.)

(To fullmoonspecial: I couldn't reach you to get your consent before Path put up the post-event wrap-up, but if you'd like me to add your art to the gallery wall there, I still can.)

[ID in ALT] I've made posts before about Talia/Dick co-parenting Damian moments (will never happen but let me dream) and this came to me in a vision. Took me ages to finish for some reason 😭 and then even longer to post

1x16 | The Blind Fortune Teller 🔮🃏

And to think the way this scene - and the absolutely masterful performance by Cameron Monaghan - snowballed into what can only be described as Schrodinger's Joker for the rest of Gotham's run

Idk if it's bc I'm like NOT suffering the horrors or if my state of being is why or whatever, but man. I've really been being a yapper, huh?

I say this in reference to my social life lmao

[sheyshen]

Hello ♡ It's been a while!

It's been over a year I think? I haven't kept track tbqh

I'm not really back, because I want to be noncommittal as possible (since I have a tendency to disappear when my motivation to write does)

But this is me saying that I'm finally working on under the rose again! ♡

I'd all but abandoned it months ago, but yesterday I had a burst of energy and managed to write a couple hundred words. Tonight, the total is 1300. It's not much, but it's a start!

I don't talk about my personal life for many reasons, but this year has been one of the most difficult I've ever experienced. The last thing on my mind has been Will and Azul, as much as I wish they'd kept occupying every inch of it like they used to.

That spark is coming back, I think! ♡ (More in the tags since this is getting long)

of course I have a required attendance event that completely decimates my free time the first day of nano 🙃

[theboombutton]

Might fuck around and make a Planet Coaster park themed around Smirke's Fourteen.

You know. The Magnus Parkchives.

i have my last official day of grad school tomorrow and i am dreading it like i do not want it to happen what do i do with myself what happens to me next

[ocheeva]

i encountered a really specific ✨ptsd trigger✨ for the first time in years yesterday morning and my brain has been such a little bitch about it since. yeah yeah the emotional abuse was, like, super bad and even those who were beside me when it happened don't know everything bc i literally can't talk about it, but oh my god it's so stupid to ugly cry about feeling lonely and unlovable and abandoned by everyone ever when literally yesterday my platonic partner was here for hours and hugged me so tightly and gave me an expensive yarn i've been wanting as a gift, and a friend asked if i wanted to play a game and voice with her, and i had a couple of lovely long conversations today + had my weekly star trek watch with one of my best friends and got a message from my work bestie who was so excited i'm coming to work tomorrow.

like. i know why it happens, trauma literally causes brain damage and can be with you for the rest of your life, but also come tf on. how can i sit here and cry about no one thinking about me when i have HEAPS of evidence proving that that is factually wrong
