I'm not making this post rebloggable because I just know there are gonna be some people who take this in bad faith but like. Listen. You guys need to take care of yourselves if you are taking part in any activism okay

I had a hell of a panic attack the other night, and I'm only just now coming down from it two nights later. My blood pressure skyrocketed, and I genuinely thought I was going to die in some horrible way. And the thing is, the panicky feelings just kept coming back. I kept having bursts of anxious energy that just wouldn't let up, until it peaked completely and I started to shudder and hyperventilate. The only reason I was able to stop after awhile was because my body was finally responding to my sleeping medication, and I had tired myself out so much from panicking that I was finally able to sleep. I woke up the next morning still feeling quite anxious, but stable enough to get some simple tasks done (though I ended up having to take sick time from work).

And another thing; I'm gonna need you guys to get over the fact that it's "privileged" to look after yourself or to separate from the news. Because yknow what? You can't fucking help anyone if you've inundated yourself with stressful information to the point where you are hyperventilating in a cold sweat at 2 in the morning during the work week. I'm serious, take breaks. Do things that are enjoyable and leisurely. Exercise, eat healthy, read books, talk to friends, rest. Know your limits, listen to and honor your body, all that shit. Please.

#and that's my that on that #i'm uh.... gonna do some art studies now lol #and maybe do a little bit of drawing #sorry for being all ranty but i just want ppl to be aware of this. pls take care of yourselves

Insane yapping incoming

I would've drawn this out but obviously I'm too tired 😭

This is just me explains Kayo more thoroughly as a character. Despite how I draw her thirsting over Mizu 23/7 Kayo actually has a very complicated relationship with women in general. She sees herself as being better than most women due to her negative experiences with them growing up

Kayo became an assassin for a reason, she is a capable fighter as she is a spy. She doesn't want to hide the fact she's a woman while doing all of that because she's "better than the others". Essentially detaching herself from the women she was surrounded with

Easily, I can boil it down to her having a "not like other girls"'s phase but that can't cover everything. Kayo's main theme as a character is a nature vs nurture effect and she could've been someone entirely different. Like Mizu she grew up with people viewing her as a freak. The women around her life struggle as well (her mother was a Chinese immigrant that ended up in Japan and then her Oiran sister figure that was struggling to make money) but they also had their shitty moments

If I were to say what would be Kayo's version of the "who betrayed Mizu" theory it would be something like "who failed Kayo". Both women tried their best to raise her properly but due to outside surroundings Kayo simply was "set up to fail". Being sold off by her mother after her brother's death and having her "sister" leave her once she were "old enough" to handle being on her own. Kayo's two supportive female figures had given up on her when it came to her fascination with violence

oh yeah- the theme with violence, Kayo growing up majority in the red light district was subject to the idea of Shinju or the act of selfharm as love. Low clas oirans at the time period would perform self harm as a sign of love and dedication for her customers but some of the smart ones would pay off grave robbers to find a body and chop off a piece of their limbs for them to use. This was because men at the time period would be sold to the idea of a woman being so infatuated by them and blah blah blahhhh 🤓☝️

Keeping it brief cause I wanna talk more bout her love language in another post perhaps soon but for Kayo it's just hard for her to trust women the same way she could trust a man. Which is why when she met Mizu she was just as infatuated as she was curious. Something about Mizu was off and Kayo didn't knew what could it be. Then she finds out this man has tits and also has a forest down there and realized oh shit that's a woman-

her first immediate gut reaction was jealousy cause "how could another woman be a strong fighter?? Why is she so strong am I not?" putting herself against Mizu more critically. Kayo obviously is still damaged by her past when it came to women, she can barely take most of the women who confront her seriously but overtime as she spends more time with Mizu (and possibly with Akemi too cause the girl needs more female companionship-) Kayo would see women in a different light

While Akemi finally has a supportive female friendship system Kayo needs time to open up again toward women. After being constantly hurt and lied too it's no wonder why Kayo would rather work for men like Heiji or Fowler. Keep in mind though Kayo isn't hateful with women, she won't call them names but her empathy for them is a bit lower. She has a hard time opening up and being traditional feminine in a safe environment

Paraelling with Mizu- Mizu has a masculine/androgynous built but there'll always be that hint of soft femininity in her even if it's only few. Kayo on the other hand is physically very feminine but the way she carries herself natural is more masculine leaning. Mizu and Kayo are just as different as they are equal to one another.

TLDR: Kayo was let down by the women in her life that subsequently turned her into a woman who has a hard time opening up to other women.

Next post I'll rant about Kayo's sexuality and how it's actually a retelling of the yandere trope in queer media

#AND MIC DROP #thank you for coming into my tedtalk #im feeling ranty today so I'm dropping this here #i wanna give her more depth that I couldn't do in my art sometimes #⊹˳⁺ ♡ miau//who speaks #blue eye samurai #blue eye samurai oc #oc x canon

WE DID IT!!

we did the thing me and merlin posted!

It was okay

The first wave of flyers were taken down by 4th period, if you know please beat the shit out of whoever did it, if it was you beat the shit out of yourself.

To quote myself from 6 hours

"We have 2 rolls of tape and a dream in our hearts"-Autumn 6 hours ago

Mrs.schell saw us putting one up and said she "liked the colors" God that was awkward

Though thanks to her that one survived the day

The second round of flyers we put up after school

those flyers haven't been taken down y e t

Keyword yet

We were putting up one but then Anders showed up and said some shit about how we need "permission" to hang stuff up

VANDALS DONT NEED PERMISSION ANDERS! WERE FUCKING VANDALS WE DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT PERMISSON

GO SUCK MERLINS DICK!

anyways it was tons of fun and I encourage all queer people to make their school queer

Comment if you did this too

Do you think this was a success merlin?

i have so much beef with this one girl on YouTube whos whole channel is " making 15k a month as a full time artist? tips and tricks on how to be a full time artist " videos. and like. you click on it and she's like " you can sell on Esty! " ooo what does she recommend selling? " I sell financial guides for artists!" ..ok I cant do that, what else! " I also have a patreon! " ooo I've always wanted to make a patreon, what do artists post there? " I provide financial guidence for artists! "....ok.... " and my biggest money maker is YouTube! I get to make a living making art videos :)!!" ............*checks her yt and its 95% financial tips for artists videos*...........

#like good for you girl make that bank but stop saying youre a full time artist #you're a financial counselor and that's great!!! but stop making videos about it claiming that its a universal skill all artists have #i wanna know what products to sell what websites to go to what i should learn what skills are necessary #idk ranty today #art

Very much inspired by @toh-tagteam-au!

I am very intrigued by the concept, wanted to do some fanart for it. The amount of extra sibling bonding potential, yaaaaas queen!

SO not to drag on a convo from last week but I was listening to Stacy’s beautiful monster and apparently ppl???? Don’t like it???? And I THINK beautiful monster follows the same pattern as ready to love concerning mediocre/whatever mvs making fans think a song isn’t good???? Idk if you’ve listened to the song but it’s a wonderful one and I actually really enjoyed it and didn’t realize ppl didn’t like it???? BUT yeah someone was like “it’s the only bad stayc song” and I was like. This is not correct. - dokcheol <3

omg i get to talk more!!

ok so I'll be the first to admit that i have almost no ability to tell what makes a good mv and what makes a bad mv, i think it's mostly due to indifference since i've never been a big music video person. I had also never seen the beautiful monster mv till right now but honestly i feel like it's not that bad?? Like ready to love I get, even I could tell it's awkward and just like not shot very well?? (Don't get me started on the filter on it WHY ARE WE ASH GREY RN???) but beautiful monster looks normal to me idk. The drawings are cute and the filter isn't THAT annoying. I also don't get why everyone hates that song. Is it the best song I've ever heard? no, but it was fun and completely passable.

#people are SO quick to switch up on groups #st*yc and i*zy being great examples #which just feeds into overconsumption and oversaturation #it also plays into why idols (especially female idols) are debuting younger and younger #this got more ranty than i wanted but basically you're right #also maybe just cause i dont really watch mvs but i feel like a lot of people consider the mv to be like the “primary art” #if that makes sense #but for me i consider the music to be the primary art? #which is also why streaming culture really confuses me #because why are we focusing on a youtube video and not say a song on spotify #ok this is long and not even what our conversation was about but this was fun i love talking with you #to you?? i've lost all sight of grammar now #noa.answers

[justjupitersart]

got a request for an outrageously complex commission (they were willing to pay very well though), but oh my god, they just did NOT undertstand that i can't do that right now??? like i'm literally leaving for college halfway across the country in 5 days, and it's my very first time ever living away from home?? i explained that to them multilple times but they didn't get it?? they just kept asking and asking. jesus christ.

#like. i appreciate that you like my art style enough to commission me. but i genuinely cannot do that. #and LISTEN to me when i say that!! don't just keep pushing the issue- jesus. #this is probably more ranty than it should be but i've been communicating with them all day and they will NOT stop. #anyways. #just jupiter #not art

[allthepandasintheworld]

a short comic to process some feelings after a rather intense therapy session today. it was about having compassion for the mistakes and pain i felt as a teen/preteen (please use they/them for past me)

transcript and some additional thoughts below

TW for mentions of self harm, depression, and anxiety in the additional thoughts section

September

Every September, I think of you

Of joy and of promise

Even after you're gone.

Every year.

Always, September.

I didn't understand how to love

and how it's lost.

Or how long the ghost of you

will haunt me.

But if I could go back in time,

it wouldn't be for you.

It would be for me.

To chase away the ghost

of September.

-----------------------------------------

september/october and february/march are always the toughest times of year for me. in particular, it's very very hard for me to go outside, because one of my strongest triggers is scent since they tie so strongly with emotions for me.

to explain some of the symbolism and what they mean to me:

the first panel is me, now. an adult, 22. i'm actually not *that* much taller than my 13 year old self but for the sake of differentiation i exaggerated a bit

the second panel is them, as they appeared at the time, around 8 years ago (i don't know what they look like now). i remember that i would do anything to try and make them smile. a real smile, not a sad one or a fake one, because they were going through a lot at the time. and then i remember we'd make a huge deal out of just hugging or holding hands. and then, they cut themself out of my life, and me out of theirs.

the third panel is how i remember feeling like i looked as a 13 year old, complete with gigantic backpack and violin case haha... i ended up cutting my hair after i turned 14, but i chose to leave that out to make it less confusing

the fourth panel... bandages after i discovered they cut themself on purpose, pencil and paper for all the 'secret' notes/confessions i wrote them, and an ipad notification for how much i wanted to talk to them all the time. and we kissed, twice, both in september... i think you can guess why the smell of september triggers me now, and why i titled this comic 'september'. and then, an artistic rendering of how our conversations changed afterwards.

the remaining panels are me trying to be and feel more compassionate towards my younger self. it's hard. i don't feel like they deserve it for what they did. but i should still try, because they were hurting and they didn't know how to stop it.

i'm still trying to heal, but some days it feels like the pain will never go away. it's always there, at the back of my mind. it guides my hand away from the send button, it seals my mouth shut when i try to speak, it roots me in place when i want to go. i used to wish i could go back in time because i know how to treat them differently now, but as i wrote this comic, the longer i thought about it... the more i realized if i could go back, i should go back for me. i was so insecure and confused and anxious. i needed someone to be there for me, but nobody was. so if i could go back, i would talk to my past self, and i would ask them to tell me everything and i would sit and listen and not judge them anymore.

#long post #comic #mental health #lgbtq #relationships #doodles #digital art #it's a little venty and ranty #i havent done real vent art in years #nor have i done vent poetry in awhile either #maybe ill send this to my therapist and we'll talk about it next session

[snoozefm]

i don’t get when ppl are like “digital art isn’t real art 😡😡” like you do realise that to draw digitally you still need to know how to you know DRAW like idgi?????

#what am i missing #like you still have to be able to draw proportions and features and whatnot #and still need to know how to mix colours and shadow and all that stuff #like what exactly are we talking about here #art #also just fyi like when i make posts like this i’m not beefing imaginary people #i must likely seen smth on another app and made the post in response to that #as a little ranty rant

[vilelittlecritter]

there should have been sixty more dollars left from the Amazon gift cards we got for Christmas but it’s fucking gone. I shouldn’t have waited a week to buy more useless shit apparently 🙃

#ranty rant rant #INGNORE ME #the thing is I didn’t even want anything. it took me this long to go looking for shit to buy #because there is practically nothing on Amazon I even want anymore #decent art supplies and stationery are all shipped from other sellers so they’re slow as fuck AND marked up massively #but when I finally think ‘oh I’ll get a dress I already have and really like in a different color’? voila! money gone
