Hey, quick heads up:

I'm gonna take an indefinite break away from this blog or might even abandon it all together, because this website is absolute dogshit on my mental health; Has been for a while now really.

I know I haven't been posting any art on here for a while, but I do want to get back into drawing. So if you'd like to see new art, feel free to follow my instagram. I'm also greyedian on there. That site is a bit easier on my mental health so yeah, I hope I can be a bit more active over there.

I'll admit though that I've been pretty deeply artblocked for over a year now at this point, so I can't make any actual promises, sorry. I do genuinely miss drawing though.

Sorry to anyone who followed me for art and then... didn't really get much of that lol

Anyway, I hope everyone has a nice 2024 :)

#i physically cannot stop myself from doomscrolling through bg3 d*scourse posts #and intentionally making myself feel miserable #its genuinely like ruining me lmao #so yea im gonna go take a break 😅 #2023 was bad enough for me already i dont want to start the year by ruining a game i really like for myself

your local forecast

When people look at abstract art and go "uh I could make that"

Fuck, I wish you would!

I wish you would let this inspire you. I wish that seeing a piece of abstract art would move you to self expression.

I wish you would go to the craft store, buy a cheap canvas and some cheap paint and let yourself play with color and form just to see if you can.

I wish that there were more amateur painters, trying their hand at geometric abstraction and color field painting. That would be so fucking cool.

"I could make that" should be a joyous revelation, not a snarky dismissal.

You could make that? Holy shit. please. Please make that.

personally, even ignoring any other implications of the "cozy" / "wholesome" Marketing Label, I'm averse to them because they suggest you couldn't think of any better reason to play your video game.

y’all remind yourselves your account is your space. you’re not a performance. you’re not annoying by being yourself. if people aren’t into it they can leave. you’re not obligated to please anyone, especially at the cost of your personal expression. the worst thing you can do for your online enjoyment is to filter or censor yourself.

shoutout to slow growers, late bloomers, people whose plans got derailed by circumstances beyond their control or their own choices, people who never had a plan to begin with, people who have had to start over when theyre too old to feel like theyre supposed to be where they are, people who cant pretend theyre built for the environment theyre in, and everyone who's not living the life they thought they would. im proud of you for making it this far and i hope you keep going until youre happy ♡

One thing that's vitally important to remember is that feeling ''weirded out'' is not a form of harm. It is a completely normal part of socializing. It is the feeling of encountering something unfamiliar. In order to be a kind person, you must learn to how to distinguish between "harmful" and "weird." And then you must accept the weird.
