[arthur-r]

hello new self portrait just dropped which means this is officially what i look like now

#i have glasses now!!!! i’m not very good at drawing them but i sure have them on my face at all times shdhdf #and i recently started growing out my hair!!!! my distinctive bowl cut had a good run but i’m officially moving forward #i’ve also started exaggerating my big droopy sad eyelashes a LOT in pictures lately it’s part of my core identity now or something #(that’s not true shdhdf but i think my face knew about my puppydog destiny long ago and gave me puppydog eyes) #anyway i just haven’t drew anything in forever like i think i’ve drew four things that weren’t JUST notebook doodling. all this school year #(and one of those was vent art on paper and the other one was coloring with my little sister. so i’ve drew two things on ibispaint at all) #anyway i think my glasses suit me really good and i’m also really excited i can see the world really good now #i still have some vision problems from POTS that aren’t fixed but like. i can see detail in brick walls now and i’m obsessed #house fucker behavior i’m so sorry shdhdhdff (THIS IS A JOKE AND LIE. I DONT FUCK HOUSES) #(and i’m apparently a house m.d. kinnie so i wouldn’t fuck him EITHER cause we’re the same person i could never) #ANYWAYS i can see well finally and that’s good. and in conclusion i’m real tired and should go to bed #i took my meds at 9:30 then started drawing at 10 finished at 11:30 #and now it’s midnight and i’m long overdue to be asleep already. so goodnight world!!!! #i have a sleepover tomorrow night which is very exciting. and also work and homework as usual shdhdf #but in the meantime i get to sleep. for up to 12 hours!!!! here’s hoping #ok anyway!!!! goodnight!!!! #P.S. text or call if you need anything!! #me. my post. mine. #delete later (probably)

they really did just give me all of the dogshit mental illnesses, huh

#i mean what mental illness isn't dosghit #anyways the reason why my depression meds probably don't work is because i'm bipolar #that's what my therapist thinks anyways. and it makes sense considering the lil manic episodes i have #so um. that fucking sucks but it also explains everything so its fine really #like i really really want to do drugs actually #i mean i am just so sad and empty feeling #i'm working on art but nothing i'm making means anything #can i just get permission to do a shit ton of stimulants #i am sooooooo bored #i'm really trying to make myself feel better here but only with things that'll do it instantly #anyways i want to not smoke because i am running out of weed and money #but i'm gonna smoke delta 8 anyways rn because even after all this caffeine etc i feel nothing and i need something #honestly can i just pass away though. i am so pathetic #or can i actually become hypo manic again. because at least i felt something #anyways does anyone want to be friends with me even though i am severely mentally ill #or can someone give me some dopamine/serotonin. i feel like shit #vent

"Truly GOOD works don't have thriving fandoms because people aren't interested in fixing them, so what do they have to write fics/make art about."

Idk about you, but I don't write fic for properties I don't genuinely enjoy and think are, on some level, actually good.

#like I'm here to EXPAND on shit I like is that not a common experience? #if I think a work is bad why would I care enough to create something in response to it? #you think I did all those episode reviews and wrote all that shit about cxgf because I thought it was BAD????? #I have ten (10) wips and ONE of them is a 'rewriting canon to be in line with what I wish happened' fic? #idk if I'd even call it a FIX fic. it's more of a 'slightly less personally depressing resolution' fic #I'm sorry. truly I don't understand this viewpoint #'if a story is well-constructed enough there won't BE any extra dimensions to explore' WRONG. I'LL /ALWAYS/ FIND THINGS. U UNDERESTIMATE ME #I WILL /CREATE/ BLANKS TO FILL IN /BECAUSE/ I LOVE THIS THING SO MUCH #like yes everyone is probably going to have at least one piece of media that they don't think is High Art™ that they get unhinged over #(ctrlz squad sound off) #but I just...I'm sorry I cannot imagine spending all of my time going 'I will create things in honor of something that I believe is Bad™' #or 'this thing made me angry I'll exclusively spend my time fixing it' instead of just. watching/reading something else that I DO enjoy #also like...things that ARE widely-agreed to be genuinely good still have big fandoms sometimes? #tgp is pretty popular on here. csm is MASSIVE. both on and off tumblr. #and some things WOULD be otherwise easily fandomize-able: cxgf is one. dpat is another. but these don't HAVE huge fandoms because the shows #are not popular. like just. we live in a world where people are somehow both elitist and anti-intellectual at the same time #ANYWAY this is in response to that one post I saw about--*I am dragged offstage for my own safety* #In the Vents

[peachteaships]

Fuck not again

#peach vents kinda #please dont reblog #upcoming vent in the tags #so anxiety is rising again because well like i said todya i stumbled across some information #that information was about a discourse #i got more information on what happened and i lowkey hate how it reminded me of how my ex gf and ex friend were #i think i got a grasp on what happened but also im just socked more than anything #and now im dealing with a bit of an art block #and well #more like some 'performance' anxiety #i keep seeing everyone else have better looking and more interesting looking tadc insert designs and mine #mine feels basic #it feels #like im just lazy #it makes me feel bad #especially because it makes me feel left out too #and i dont know how to handle it #i dont know if i should scrap everything and start over or just #drop it all #part of me is tempted to just drop it all together cause part of me is going whats the point #that part of me is telling me no one would care anyways #i dont know #im just #i hate this i hate feeling like this #i hate feeling inadequate #like everyone else is leagues ahead of me #im trying my best here #i try to interact as much as possible #i try to seem as inviting as i psosibly can #i dont know it sucks this all sucks and i hate it

'nother big post of closed species guys i've designed since folks were nice abt the last one :)

mignyans (alien parasite crabs that infect a host and cause the thing-esque meat to manifest on their bodies):

^ free anniversary event design! they do a scavenger hunt every october for traits and it's always a good time

^design i did as a guest artist for the species! using the new mineral deposit trait that was added after the last anniversary event

^ this is one of my favorites i've ever done. i love you channel wvmb you will always be famous to me.

^ this one and the next one were designed based on premade crabs! this one's the same species as the first mignyan i ever designed

^ this one goes with the sun & moon one :) wizard & apprentice

^metalhead!! bloody remnants logo designed by my wonderful fiance

starlyngs (avian creatures that are personified stars i think? i'll be honest i'm less clear on the lore i just think they're neat):

^ shithead extraordinaire who is in trouble all the time for stealing & conning people out of valuables

^ freak.

#ibis art #i forgor what i tagged the last one of these i did #but if anyone wants to see all the beasts i've designed they're up on my toyhou.se same username as here #p much the only stuff on tumblr i've ever seen abt closed species is drama/vent blogs and i want to stay faaaar away from that #so i don't post much about these here but i like them a lot and they are fun to make #they feel like good creative exercises! ive seen a lot of people complain abt cs being too restrictive #and i've definitely had that experience in SOME cs... there's a few i abandoned bc design stuff was too strict #but you can find a lot of spaces that are much freer with design guidelines and working with those rules is really fun for me #i'd say rule of thumb is never join a species if they don't offer a free way to make your own and only make yr first one on a free myo #that way you don't lose money if anything Sucks and can hit the bricks no problem #i like to buy slots for mignyans bc i like making a lot & it supports my friend on the mod team #but i seriously sideeye any species without a free myo option or that puts time limits on free myos from events & the like #and anyway you can just make whatever you want forever and you don't have to make it part of a species. that's also always an option #ok tag ramble DONE ibis AWAYYYY

IK a lot of people are like "my interest in dsmp was kind of gone anyway" I'm the opposite. I'm still just as in love with this story as I was in October 2020. I'm still just as excited when Tommy or Ranboo or Tubbo goes live. I'm still just as thrilled when a mutual posts new art or writing as I was two years ago. My interest really hasn't gone down at all and I had so much more I wanted to create.

#i think im still gonna finish my fics. for myself. neither of them include cDream anyway. #and i still want to write a halloween and christmas fic i think. just to keep up my traditions. #but im really not ready to move on from all of this yet. i love this community too much to leave #god this is breaking my heart #obviously first priority is making sure tje victims get justice #but. im not going to write a sappy post abt what this community has meant to me bc it isnt past tense to me #im still here. if some of u need to leave i totally understand but #idk. ive been doomscrolling for so long just terrified at who will leave next. #if u are thinking of deactivating and see this please dont deactivate just leave your blog up and move. you shouldnt have to erase your art #analysis writing etc because Dream decided to do something disgusting. #tw vent #tw grooming #ok i need to stop vent posting im rlly sorry everyone.

[tobythetrashyartist]

anyways would it be fucked of me to make another sideblog where I only post vent/sad art because,,,,,

realistically i probably won't go through with it bc the embarrassment i'd get from it is too strong, but I'm just gonna throw this idea into the void thanks

#not art #like i technically have posted vent art on here #but confession time: it is censored ksjksjks #some of it anyways #so i'd post the og versions if that makes sense #typing this out i'm back on a 'no' LMAO #delete later

[pinayelf]

.

#ive meant to have new art and maybe start on like simple commissions #cause i need some extra cash #but ive been so *waves hand* #my dad is still at the hospital after his procedure #hes fine #but ofc im constantly stressed abt it #plus the kitchen is getting renovated at the same time and i gotta be Present w the ppl doing it so it gets done #the house is cluttered cause i live in a small home and all the kitchen stuff had to be moved #been living off takeout cause cant cook not even w microwave #anyway that + my dads operation has been rly stressful cause i cant even just relax cause the builders are here from 8-4 #anyway hopefully my dad comes home tomorrow #i wish i could draw bc i want to #but too overwhelmed to do anything but sit and watch kpop music videos on the tv w my sis #just venting

[joyfuladorable]

Kinda wish I could mute posts on here, lol

Edit: okay, I actually can mute thank the GODSSSS

#like #it's always surreal to me when things I draw gain traction #especially when it's something I consider low effort in terms of my ability? #which #ironically enough #is Usually Always what unexpectedly Explodes #like my Solo Duo sketch of Casey and Mikey #or my Practice redraw of a 2k3 scene #and now it's my Miles and Peni sibling comic #but even MORE like what the actual fuck *nervous laughter* #I'm always glad when folks vibe with my stuff but I'm also a bit bitter that my low effort is more rewarded than my high effort stuff #also it's definitely nerve-wracking having something be highly visible like this like for real #on here the comic is at 2k #but on twitter?? fuck dude I woke up this morning and it was Triple that and so close to being Quadruple #I muted it but some folks already commented in ways that I'm leery about li #I just wanted to draw a cute headcanon #not open up discussions for shipping #sidenote: don't mention a ship on art if it's not explicitly stated to be that ship that's rude as hell #anyways I dunno where I was going with this I just needed to tag vent for a bit lol #admittedly the Tumblr post isn't too bad compared to Twitter #I'm very pleased with all the tags calling these found siblings cute and also appreciating the Spider faces

Wee ha

#Arright here I go again I gotta do some of these when I gotta vent #posting this on the 17th of August #So the elestral thing is going alright. My focus has shifted a LOT there but I'm still working with em #But the majority of my work comes from another client now. It's another one of these things that I'd love to make by myself #But someone else is making it and wanting me to do the art and music. It's gonna be huge. What a life it is. Anyway #This gif is from yet another project I started recently. Separate from Smile More HoaM and anything else. I keep fucking doing this #But this one's strange. It reflects my current working skills I've built up all these years. A multimedia experience that has a start n end #featuring all your favourite elphame characters in a new style. I'm enjoying making it but there's one problem #I haven't worked on it in like a month and a half #Work is piling up. Pixel art is something I don't do for myself anymore #It's not even a case of “as soon as I have time to myself my fingers can't move" it's that I just do not have any spare time lmao #I meet Ashley once or twice a week. We still play digimon a lot but we're taking this month off since she's petsitting and can't go out lat #My flatmate has basically taken the summer off work since his job pays well enough for him to do so #so having him around to play games with is nice. Feels awkward taking baths with him in the house tho lmao #He is kind of the only reason I take breaks. I got pikmin 4 and it is incredible. Genuinely might have replaced Digimon World as 1st place #Mum took Andy and I to Netherlands recently. It was incredible. I played in a local digimon tournament and ate shit #Have just been so excited about travelling lately. Ashy taking me to manchester soon and I think we'll go london next spring or sooner #Worried I'm overdoing it with the tags so I'll sign off here. Work is stressing me out but it looks like big things are happening. #OH MY GOD I HAVE STOPPED BLEEDING BTW. Like almost altogether. Haven't in like a month. The trick is in the big box I rest my feet on. #It's too tall. I tried replacing it with a pile of folders half as tall and my bleeding fucking stopped. No crohn's disease or anything. #Just a big stupid fucking box. Anyway see you

[pikkish]

apologies for the lack of art n stuff here lately, folks, i have just not had the motivation to draw lately 😔

#pikspeak #there are things i think about drawing #things i WANT to draw. #but when i think about actually drawing them i just kinda.. lose interest. #idk i think like.. i have been dissatisfied lately w how my art has been turning out #and the thought of putting effort into doing something thats supposed to be fun #only to not like the final product #is just not appealing #and i realize the only way to get better and/or change the outcome is to practice #but. idk. i could just play a video game instead. #anyway. thats the 4 am vent post i am giving u now after how long of radio silence. #im still lurking around here every once in a while so if u wanna talk to me for some reason im sure i will respond eventually

[blueskyheadleft010]

Sometimes I get very exhausted...

I apologize for anyone who follows me on any of my platforms over the past few years for the lack of art/writing/communication/etc.

It’s not really anything big that’s holding me back per say; it’s just me. 

I have a 9-5 job and a steady enough income to help pay expenses for a shared home. My job is art and business related, so by the time I get home I tend to my dogs, eat, sleep, maybe play an hour of games, then repeat. I just kinda mentally shut off, but I’m grateful for the current, if sometimes a little but shaky, stability.

I also deal with depression, anxiety, ptsd, and a heap of genetic conditions I jump through on a daily basis to just keep on keepin’ on. It’s very tiring, but I enjoy living and continue fighting the uphill battle against even my own body wanting to refuse moving sometimes.

I don’t say all this to sound like a Doomer, or be hella discouraging. Nor is this post for anyone in particular; I just felt that I myself need to remind myself why my art flow has lagged massively behind than norm. I have to remind myself that it’s important to take care of me, and to continue progressing through life to achieve a sense of balance and inner peace I suppose.

I still make art, and do little projects on the side, but I don’t like to post wips of things unless it’s a massive project and I feel like I've reached a big enough milestone to show off something. 

I still want to make things, and I still make things (little tweaks and edits to massive amv projects, small sketches for characters or storyboards I want to make, occasional modifications to 3D files that I plan to one day learn how to rig in Blender and show off).

Looking at everything currently, it gives off the vibe that I’m stagnant, or nonexistent with original work. It feels like that to me a lot, but I also know that I’m still doing things, but also taking my time to heal and regain energy to do things that were so much easier to do when I was in my teens.

It’s hard sometimes, but I’m still here. I just didn’t want anyone to think I wasn’t still making things. I love my art a lot, but I am also chronically exhausted.

#sky rambles #it very late #vent post #kinda #more just like a little note or reminder #i'm still here #chronic fatigue #chronic illness #mental exhaustion #exhaustion #I'm working my way up to getting more and more help and reesources #but it takes literal years sometimes to get everything dealt with #been feeling kinda glum about not having energy or motivation to do art rn #anyways #I'm still living :) #serious talk #trigger warnings: anxiety & depression #i mean idk it sounds kinda glum #but i'm not trying to sound depressing #just wanted to explain some things #maybe a tad tmi #idk #sorry i'm rambling #I do enjoy y'all randomly favoriting my fandom posts lmao #:3

Vent art

I wish I could pull this knife out already but it isn't safe to yet

#I guess its better to bleed slowly than bleed out right away #just Very Tired of having a problem that is affecting me more than I'd care to admit #anyway. here's some actual art for once #my art #my artwork #vent art #cw blood

Portgas D. Ace Headcanons 01

Excuse me Oda-sensei, but that 40 year old Ace is simply criminal. Thank you so much for blessing us with him

Anyway! Have some Husband!Ace headcanons For more Ace content please head to my Tumblr MasterList

Ace is, respectfully, a huge simp for his wife

To the extent that the Whitebeard crew straight up jokingly awarded him with a “Biggest Wife Simp” Award

They made it look official and had Whitebeard sign it and everything. There's even a stamp.

Ace has it framed and hung proudly on the wall next to your bachelor’s degree / college diploma / degree in general. 

I feel like despite his own personal insecurities, Ace still manages to be an amazing father

I imagine Ace originally setting out for like one or two kiddos at most (because y'know...what if he's not good enough) and ending up with 3 or 4 kids

Thing is, that’s both your faults.

Ace is tender and goofy with his kids, and he’s so friggin caring: to the extent that…well wouldn’t it be neat to see him with maybe another 2 or 3 kiddos of his own? 

(Your husband is hot okay?)

In his case, he swears you have a unique glow about you when you’re pregnant. But more than that when he sees you with your first born, he suddenly wants a big family with you.

I imagine his kids are an eldest son, then his princess, then the youngest boy who takes after his uncle Luffy.

His kids aren’t parentified. He keeps his issues far, far, away from them. Besides, he’s got you by his side.

He was dedicated to making sure they got as much playtime as possible.

He heard about learning through play, and he is DEDICATED to doing that as much as possible

Ace’s kids are spoiled with affection, but not spoiled brats.

While it’s true he’d give them the world, he’d rather let them go get it themselves. 

For example: when they asked for a tree house, he gave them the greenlight immediately.

But they had to build it themselves.

It was a super fun project lasting a little over two months with the whole family involved.

Oh and the Whitebeard crew helped too.

It took a while to get the design down initially, then the shopping logistics and whatnot (they used a lot of math here - see education via play)

Building the thing took maybe a weekend or two because the Whitebeard Crew and even the Strawhats came over to help

(It was mostly Franky and Usopp doing work, Sanji was cooking with Thatch)

Uncle Luffy was not allowed near the construction zone after an accident.

They almost destroyed the tree house with their partying once

Ace’s kids were not happy and no one was allowed in the backyard for the rest of the night

He makes sure they have proper manners and self-defense skills

You had to help out here, no lie.

He admitted he needed your help, especially after a dinner with Garp where Makino tagged along to see Ace again

He puts all of his kids into martial arts classes

especially his princess - he’s so proud of her when she beats up bullies

He’s not great at discipline though to be honest. He probably goes about it similarly to Garp. 

Ace will not tolerate any of his kids being nasty to their mother. No matter the phase.

You will have to hold him back if you want to let them get their frustration off their chest.

He’ll let them talk, but you’ll have to keep a hand on him somewhere, his arm, his hand, his knee, his shoulder, his back and rub soothing circles

Let’s just say, “talk shit, get hit,” is Ace’s attitude towards anyone being demeaning towards you (more so with adults, not his kids, but that's why they get a scolding)

"Ace my love" (he melts every time you call him that) "the kids’ll start thinking you love me more than them if you do that"

"My kids won’t disrespect their mother though!"

"They’re just venting darling, and when they say or do something that violates my boundaries, I'll be sure to reinforce it. Lead by example right?"

If they ever feel like pissing Ace off for fun they can just say something kinda not nice about you and he'll get mad and they'll flee from him giggling like the little gremlins they are

Ace is veeeeeeeeerry physically affectionate and he isn’t shy about it at all.

At gatherings with the Whitebeard family, he will gladly seat you in his lap, he will happily hug you as you are seated.

His arm is on your waist most of the time.

They tease him to make him tone it down, he does not.

He, in fact, dials it up. Turns up the heat lol.

You have kids? Not in front of them? What do you mean, not in front of the kids? It’s important they know just how much he loves their mama!

So he will continue to be playful with his hugs and kisses and other displays of affection.

It’s nothing too over the top. Just hugs and quick pecks wherever.

Your entire head is fair game for his smooches, your arms (he loves kissing your pulse and then making eye contact, sneaky guy that he is), your shoulders.

Maybe lifting you and spinning you around. Cuddles. Little bites.

He will play-wrestle his kids to “fight” them over getting to cuddle you, and then he’ll just put all his weight on all of you in a group cuddle

Just to let you know, your kids also receive all the warmth and love of his affections.

When his sons are still tiny and adorable, he smooches them all over. The kisses grow less frequent as they grow older, but the hugs do not stop.

Oh no, hugs galore.

Ace still pecks his little princess on her forehead though

When they’re all under ten he’ll wrap them in a hug (after he chased them down and caught them so they’re laughing and screaming) and start smooching their cheeks while they laugh and try to get out of his grasp

Also yes she’s his princess, but that girl has no problem throwing a fully grown man twice her size around, he made sure of it.

I reiterate: Ace is not remotely shy about displays of affection

Like his eldest could have a friend over, and Ace would still launch a full scale hug attack using the rest of his troops (daughter/youngest)

It's complete with screeching, screaming, and a lot of laughter

His kids used to get teased for it, but it didn’t take more than a few conversations for them to instead jeer at the kids that teased them.

"You’re all jealous your parents don’t love you like ours do"

"How sad, your parents don't hug and kiss you"

Their dad, grandpa, uncle - uncles really, are all gremlins - it's in their DNA

The kids are really physically affectionate with each other as a result

Deadass they’ll be kicking the shit out of each other one second and the next they’ll be all cuddled and huddled up playing Mario Kart or something

Ace is his kids’ hero.

His sons aspire to have his level of fitness.

His daughter, when she’s older, uses him as a standard for dating

You're relieved

Ace is touched and a touch nervous, because he is aware of his shortcomings, though he works hard to keep improving

Of course when you look at him, a twinkle in your eyes, and tell him, “I’m so proud of her, I’m so proud of you!” He feels better

When you continue: “if she can find a guy like you, who cherishes her as much as you cherish me, I’d be so happy.”

Ace loves you so much he swears

hmm

#the bin #ive felt like i havent posted much art which is the main reason i made an art only blog so i can actually see that ive posted quite a bit #i barely posted anything in 2021. only like 15 drawings but this year i posted way more. i actually went through and counted and theres #around 100 if i could each thing on a page with a bunch of drawings separately which i would consider them separate. not incliding wips #its mostly sketches and doodles but im still happy with that number. ive made far more that i havent posted but im happys i was able #to break out if my shell a but and post my art again. after i stopped using amino i just felt like my art isnt good enough to post here #amino was a much less public thing bc it was limited to that individual amino instead of the entire app. here felt was more intimidating #and idk. on amino i used to see so many other begginer artists aswell bc they had a feed of all the new posts made in that amino #but here i only ever saw more polished stuff made by more skilled artists. im quite happy with my art as it is now tbh #like. i know my art is very simple and stuff but i have gotten a handle on how i want it too look and its much better than my old stuff #im just happy that ive been able to. throughout my entire time using tumblr ive been making tons of art but i jist never posted it despite #wanting to. and it just feels nice now to call myself an artist on here bc its the most fundamental part of my person #i do intend to post most if the rest of my art from previous years aswell as the stuff from this year i didnt post bc i think its cute #anyway. ill stop talking now. its just been about a year since i really started posting my art here and im happy that i actually did it #my art doesnt really get much notes (except for that one reimu doodle for some reason) but it usually gets a few and it makes me happy #idk. its just nice. the only other experience ive had with posting my art here was a different blog and it ended horribly #got harrased a lot for drawing vent art and even just blood in art
