So I’ve pretty much decided that im gonna take a break from socials for a while. I’ve already pretty much abandoned insta and I deleted my Twitter ages ago, and I thought that maybe this experience would be different but if im honest it’s not.

I think that fandom and posting my art online is kind of rotting my brain. I don’t regret any of the art I’ve made or the fic I’ve read or written, but I just can’t ignore that it’s stunting me. When I look back on what I created as a kid, what motivated the compulsion I had to make art, it was my interactions with the world and nature and the magic I found in it. I can feel that in me still, but it’s hard for me to reach and one of the reasons is that I let making fan art for online spaces get in the way. I’ve let that be my crutch, I’ve let it be the easy way out. I think I really needed that while I was dealing with my PTSD untreated, but now that I’m going to therapy I think it’s just holding me back.

I really don’t regret the time I’ve spent focusing on this kind of artwork and I’ve learned and grown a lot from it. Right now, I don’t intend on deleting this page or getting rid of what I’ve made. I just think it’s time for me to move on and figure out why adult me wants to make art, and I can tell that this isn’t it.

#this is insanely beautiful #I can’t really describe why it makes my heart ache #it feels like nostalgia for a feeling I can’t describe #or for an event that didn’t happen to me

given that covid was declared a pandemic in spring 2020, reblog and put in the tags how old you were then, what age you spent the entire year of in quarantine (may or may not be different than previous), and how old you are now

#22 #22 to 23 #now I’m 24 #and it just keeps getting worse yall

Thinking a lot about my au where Draco switches sides during the war. Thinking a lot about conversations in the woods at sunset, and uncertainly touching someone’s hand, and midday naps and being drawn to someone’s warmth while asleep. Just thinking.

#next day reblog #pat draws #drarry #harry potter #draco malfoy #hp #live to fight another day

new tag game: the thing you most often pretended to be as a kid—whether it was a horse, a bride, a queen, a specific character, a knight, a lawyer, a baby, anything—is symbolically representative of you currently. what is it for you?

The dark unicorn has many rumors swirling around it. Is she the protector of the woods, or an omen of death? A calm bringer of the night, or a cruel creature who hunts down those who enter her domain?

Seek her out for yourself, but do so with the knowledge you may not return

I drew a more modern, traditionally horsey unicorn compared to last year’s more goat/donkey attempt. Any chance I get to draw a horse I will take! This one was super fast to draw, but literally it is because I have one drawing skillset and that is drawing animals quickly
