Honestly idk if I’m gonna be mentally stable enough to play Evercold. Xiv is so inherently dark and tragic and both the previous expansions made me need some breaks at parts because I’m so sensitive to death but lately I’ve been handling it even worse lol And I’m sure death will be a big part of it!

The only thing I still miss from being religious is not worrying about death. I really wish I could go back to that mindset, but I’ll need to wholeheartedly believe in something again and that’s… probably not possible anymore for me.

I play games and do art to distract myself from the looming fear of entropy, but when your favorite games are ALL about death and purpose it’s KINDA HARD

Numb is a great song for sure. But LP grew so much after it, that I don’t think it’s a good rep of them as a whole, nor their BEST song. It’s great for relatable teenage angst, but they have much more mature focuses later on.

I don’t think “real artists don’t use references” was started as an idea by any one person. It’s an assumption learners can come to while dealing with impostor syndrome, especially in the cartooning/anime space. It’s still wrong and should be debunked, but it WILL keep coming up again.

Like yeah, the realization that using references isn’t wrong is mind boggling to almost every new artist. It feels like a “skill” to not need them, and feels like something one can practice. I was in that boat. But just because someone thinks that doesn’t mean someone else is to blame???

You can't become better unless you try hard to be better But trying hard is HARD and makes me STRESSED and feels WORSE Just kind of a shitty situation eh

Glancing back at this even a couple hours later I’m actually like… really proud of this one. Kinda nailed it! Still some jank ofc but not nearly as bad as the one yesterday xD

How I spend most of my mornings nowadays.

Love how that quick sketch is getting way more attention than normal and I am already looking at it like “oh that arm is in the SUPER wrong place”

I need a hubband for snugglies aaaa Didn't realize how exhausted I've been this week until pretty much just now, and a cuddle sesh would be a great way to recharge

Weird-ass question: Are the different levels of aphantasia available for the other senses? I can imagine visuals and sounds perfectly, but tastes, smells, and touches, I cannot “envision” or whatever the equivalent would be called. CAN anyone do that with those? Are they ALL different for everyone?
