#to keep with the times

[vacantgodling]

Hello I am here to pay back the attention you gave me, if you want it lol. Pwease tell me about your art style. Do you feel like you really have one? Did you develop it on purpose (and if so, how), or did it just gradually come about?

i always want attention LMAO

oooo so this is a very interesting question and like tbh i didn’t really develop it on purpose. art has always been a PURE hobby for me, and by pure, i mean i refused to really put Extreme effort into learning it as a “craft.” figure drawing bores me, i don’t want to sit down and spend Hours trying to learn anatomy and shit etc etc. much of my style has been really influenced by

things and art styles that i like

the need to doodle possessing me at literally all times.

doodling was my adhd “go to” thing bc my brain needs to focus on something else while i do stuff. i used to read a lot in class as a kiddo but then teachers complained to my mom that i was being “distracting” somehow (??? still don’t get this) so i started doodling instead so it looked like i was still working LMAO.

a lot of my artstyle is definitely influenced by anime and manga like i’m a weeb through and through or whatever. but usually if i see something i like or i learn new ways to draw something after watching or seeing something else i’ll incorporate it into my belief system.

i think an easy example to showcase ALLA this is kind of this thing i’ve been doing since 2021 where i’ve redrawn the same character a few times:

so like, as you kinda see it’s getting more and more detailed. like more practice, more doodling, but it’s actually super hard for me to personally tell when my artstyle is changing? so that’s why doing this redraw the past few years has actually been super illuminating bc i can actually SEE how my style has gotten different. cuz tbh i don’t feel like i’m doing anything different but like i must be for these to all come out SO differently lol

i hope that makes sense?? i don’t really think about art too deeply i usually pick up my ipad and go “i’m gonna get silly :3” fjfjfjfn

#to keep with the times #ren art #about renjamin #thank u for this and letting me blab #i usually do this particular redraw around june/july so #you’ll be seeing him again in a few months lol

process of drawing an OC: - you design them - you get attached to them - their hair gets bigger without you realizing it

#it's always the hair #tbd maybe LOL #one of my OCs rn their hair keeps getting longer every time i draw it... #i'm tryna keep it to their shoulder blades but at some point it started reaching their hips and i was like. Wait.

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

#cw: suicidal ideation #cw: suicide #cw: self harm #cw: mental health #cw: depression #i made the balloon the main representation of my self destructive urges for a reason but im not going to explain it #i tried to keep a lot of the details in this vague #it would be my worst nightmare if this comic encouraged someone to hurt themselves #so. please dont #for a long time even the thought of making this comic felt so insipid and narcissistic #with the state of the world as it is #having the only threat to your life be yourself felt so privileged and trite and shameful #but doing this comic made me sit down and process things in full #and im just. very grateful i didn't give in to my thoughts back when i sincerely felt i'd be more useful to the world dead #i also feel the need to say that this wont represent everyone's battle with mental illness. its unfortunately different for all of us #there is no fix-all #and im afraid this might be one of those comics that either resonates a lot or misses the target by a mile #i made it for myself foremost. and now that its done im glad i did it #thank you for reading #and please stay alive #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics

guy who's stuck in a timeloop for so long he stops wanting to leave it. guy who started out trying to escape but slowly grew used to and became comforted by the familiarity of the repeating day. guy who is no longer who he was before the timeloop. guy who is offered a way out and violently refuses it because he can't leave, doesn't want to leave. guy who escapes the timeloop by chance or force or accident and doesn't know how to live anymore. guy who keeps going through motions that don't match the situation and keeps having conversations that aren't actually occurring. guy who panics every time he realizes he can't predict the next instant. guy who left the timeloop but still lives with it.

#the cryptid speaks #time loop #ik there's been talk of the trope '[x] never left the timeloop' but what about [x] who never Wanted to leave the timeloop #like astronauts who come back to earth and keep trying to let go of things midair #former timelooper who is still expecting to know your next sentence; to predict the next major event; to survive everything

whenever i see another tiktok girlie talking about how she wishes to have been a fangirl in 2010s i feel like a seasoned veteran overhearing a foolish youngin boasting about wanting to go to war for glory and adventure. you naive little idiot. you know nothing. you understand nothing. you weren't there in the trenches. i have seen things, terrible things. i cannot plug in my phone charger at night without being plagued by the visions of Him

#you wouldn't be able to keep calm and carry on through these years #you can't even say kill without censoring it in a million ways #2010s were a bloodbath be glad you were a baby at the time and didn't witness it #on another subject anyone remember that short period of time when everyone was into moustaches for some reason?? #what the fuck was that about

cut it out with till death do us part. i will find you in this life and reality and the next one and the next one and the next one

#ive been thinking about being in love with a ghost. has the ghost been waiting all this time? do you keep the ghost there? if the ghost #leaves first youre left alone.. but the ghost left life first and has been alone all this time.... #idk if im making sense.... #🌬️

Fat people deserve mobility aids, too. No matter if it's connected to their fatness or not, because having a mobility issue that is connected to one's fatness won't change that they're still fat and still have the issue at hand. Fat people don't deserve to "tough it out" because fatness should be this divine punishment doled out to those who "deserve" it. Fat disabled people deserve to have the peace of mind that they can exist in whatever way is most comfortable and accessible to them

#disability #ableism #ableism tw #fatphobia #fatphobia tw #also if it's an issue solved by weight loss why would you want them to suffer until the weight loss helps wouldn't that DISCOURAGE them? #because if i were suffering the entire time i sure as fuck wouldn't want to keep going for the ~idea~ of it's gonna pay off!!! #also even if they 'made themself disabled' by being fat or anything else that doesn't matter. they're still disabled. #there is no 'good' disabled and 'bad' disabled and you cannot sort people into those categories #for every 'bad' fat disabled person there are multiple 'good' fat disabled people but you can't tell them apart often actually! #because you would have to know the intimate details of their medical history and familial lineage and tbh if you're... #...being a piece of shit to a disabled person because you assume they're guilty until proven innocent i don't blame others for being... #...weary of you and not wanting to be around you. because you've already proven you can't handle the IDEA of complex disabled experience

It's still surprising to see people say that when they see the upcoming strike post I made that this is the first time they're hearing about it, especially because I've seen several posts now talking about the same strike.

That being said: regardless of what kind of blog you are, please spread the news about the genocide, the strikes, boycotts, etc.

Even if you are a small blog, spreading word allows for more people to know what's going on and also do their part in protests and strikes, and maybe even the right people will be able to do more than what you're able to do.

And reminder: there is an upcoming strike on February 18th-25th. Prepare accordingly, protest, boycott, call your reps, and spread the word so more people are aware.

#ceasefire now #free palestine #palestine #it still stuns me because i can count maybe 3 different posts myself included that has all the information about the strikes #and just this morning someone rb mine saying this is the first time theyre hearing of it #do you see why its important to keep talking? #i'm not going to apologize for suddenly posting this midway through clearing my likes. it's important #free gaza #gaza #congo #free congo

my absolute favourite thing about the kirk and spock dynamic is that the whole time you’re watching the show spock is gaslighting you into thinking that kirk is this loose canon and spock is paragon of logic keeping his captain on the straight and narrow when its very clearly the other way round. aside from being turned on by everyone and fighting like an old-timey boxer…. kirk is just like.. quite a logical, stable guy. like yeah he rules with his emotions but he’s rarely reckless or erratic, even in situations of immense pressure he’s always calm and measured. sure kirk is unhinged and insane, but we knew that right off the bat. spock on the other hand tries to hide how insanely balls to the walls crazy he is by standing next to jim and hiding all his derangement with logic. i think the reason bones beefs with spock so much because he is the only one who has noticed that spock is an absolutely unhinged individual. (jim is too busy doodling <3 mr jim spock <3 all over his briefings to notice)

#remember that time spock mutinied and pretended to be jim lmao #hes so girl math #and kirk was like lmao fair enough love you while bones just stood there like MUTINY??? #we know that bones is the only thing keeping that ship afloat at this point lmao #star trek #star trek tos #spock #kirk #bones mccoy #jim kirk #james t kirk #spirk #tos

I really feel tremendous grief for friendships that kind of petered away in the face of life's currents. There are people with whom I formed deep, unique, vibrant, life-changing connections, and then we had to go our separate ways and it was too hard to maintain long-distance. There wasn't a fight, it just sort of faded. And I feel like I have more friendships like this than friendships that have endured, so maybe I just have to get used to it. But if grief is all the love we have left over - well, I never did get to finish loving them. I love them, and I miss them, and I probably always will.

#this is a lot #but i just keep finding myself deeply grieving so many past friendships #that are maybe beyond rekindling #but that were so deeply special and important to me at the time #damn #i just hope they're all well and i wish we could hang out
