i ordered part of my halloween costume but im gonna have to DIY or thrift the rest and im worried i wont be able to by the time halloween is actually here :(

yk fundamentally Roadkill isnt even a story about a serial killer its a story about toxic relationships, trauma, and the loss of innocence, but more importantly its also a story about hot lesbians with knives

todays hot take is that i think surface level art is still art. i think products and toys and trinkets are still art. art made without any specific meaning or purpose is still art. and if you cant accept art unless it fits your personal tastes of "deepness" you dont actually care about art

i dont like capitalism and i do think that the intersect between art and capitalism often strips art of its meaning but i also like getting things with characters on them because i like that character. like idk. its almost like society is complicated and theres no perfect solution to any of this

i only post new Roadkill chapters like once a year at this point and im ok with that and honestly i want to keep doing that. because the constant jumping around just makes things a lot more stressful

even though my lethal combination of mental illness makes me feel compelled to pump out art like a factory im honestly coming to terms with the fact that i would genuinely rather post once in an entire year than force myself to rush just to have a decent posting schedule

remembering that one of your favorite bands is, in fact, a christian band when you yourself have no interest in religion is always like a punch to the face, like what the fuck do you mean Flyleaf has been singing about God this entire time <- has known this since the age of 12

godddd i just remembered i need to submit this bullshit essay todays the last day of this class. i hate college WHY DID I DECIDE TO GO TO COLLEGE!

actually yeah i think the Main reason social media makes me miserable is because i use it in a miserable way. and also because i use platforms where people are notorious for being fucking miserable

the climate of the internet has definitely changed since i was a kid,, and hell, there were miserable people when i was a kid, but i think i had a relatively healthy relationship with social media before i started relying on it as a shoddy coping mechanism for The Terrors

i think the reason i hate tiktok isnt even because its tiktok i think its just because i was happier before i realized that nastiness and bullying gets views and i miss being a kid on scratch who literally didnt even care about all that

i wanna draw and write so bad but for whatever reason im just sleepy. i slept in super late today and now im exhausted. too late to have a coffee or anything but i dont wanna take a nap or i wont sleep tonight. fuckkkkk

"viscera you know you're allowed to just make comics forever you dont have to make art that you dont like making" sobs no i cantttt god will personally pelt me with rocks if i do

idk if ive said it before but the more i try to force myself to make like super scenic symbolic art with like super pretty composition and shit i just think man i would rather be drawing either a comic or some sort of design right now. so i think i might just pivot at this point

ive been thinking about it for a while, but every time i try i feel like a weird sense of obligation to not just make comics full-time? but like... i just love drawing comics so much!! and if im not drawing a comic im drawing basically glorified tattoo designs

im constantly stuck between wanting to plan a bunch of big projects and have an optimized routine for making art vs drawing all my art off the cuff and not caring if i even finish it or not

"do both" you dont understand if i do both im miserable but if i stick with one or the other i feel like im somehow missing out!!

like if you genuinely unironically participate in proship vs anti discourse on either side of the coin you're automatically a dork ass loser ass insufferable dweeb to me like OH MY GOD I DONT CAAAARE

for some reason, even though ive gone out of my way to block every single account that unironically posts proship vs anti discourse, tiktok has still decided i must really want to listen to the most insufferable people ever tell me why their rape fanfics are actually high art deserving of praise

thing that nobody else gives a fuck about: why does everyone say that Viva La Vida in JD'26 has bad choreo or that its boring? mf thats ballet. i used to do ballet. do you realize how fucking hard ballet is

i need to constantly remind myself that im not going to die if i dont pump out a fully rendered illustration every single day and im especially not going to die if i take multiple days to finish one piece

i wanna do a thing where i try to draw in my mutuals' art styles but most of my mutuals are digital artists and im solely traditional 😭
