I always tell myself I want to do funny little birthday art but then when it gets close, I'm reminded of how fucking worthless this life has been for the last 30 years and wish I died a long time ago and lose all motivation to do anything lol
For the last 2 years I have been living in Boston with my roommate. The day after we signed to renew the lease on our shared apartment, they got accepted into Penn State and are now planning to move there. They are already looking for someone to take over our lease. There's no way I will be able to stay in Boston. This leaves me with a few options.
Option 1) My roommate is planning to rent a 2 bedroom apartment in Pennsylvania, and would be fine with me living there with them for a year if l can find a job in the area. After a year I would be expected to move out since they want to live on their own without roommates. If this happens I could most likely get by on my own between a job, patreon supporters and commissions since rent is cheaper. Patreon supporters
Option 2) If I could find a high paying job in Ohio, I could move in with my grandmother in Cleveland. This isn't really ideal since I would have to leave the house on days my dad visits her. Option 3) I'm being heavily pressured to move back in with my mom who would give me 3 months to find a job in Ohio. If I can't find a job within that time frame l'd likely be unhoused once the 3 months are up. Going back to that house would be bad for a number of reasons: less privacy, less ability to talk to people, and it's an extremely abusive environment.
Right now, I'm saving as much money as I can to prepare for this. Any help finding employment in Pennsylvania or Ohio would be greatly appreciated. I would be totally ok living on my own as long as I can support myself financially. I need to save for covering the first/last months rent on a new apartment, moving costs, debt, monthly expenses, etc. I'm really hoping in the next few years I can find stable long term housing instead of having to repeat this song and dance every year. Thank you for your help. •

Speed paints were what caused some of the biggest leaps in art for me and unfortunately I don't find them much anymore thanks to youtube's garbage algorithm and less than useless search function
The fastest way for me to sub to a patreon is to have speed paints. Files are useless to me if I can't see the process being done to properly understand how you got to the end result.
Optionally sell single speed paints videos on ko-fi if you don't want to make it a consistent patreon reward.
Me at most artists: *sighs wistfully* I wish I could watch a speed paint or long paint by you so I could see your process.
Cu Sidhe A hound usually the size of a small horse, with a coat of black or green fur and curly tails. The Cu Sidhe are harbingers of death, but nowadays roam the town without said obligations. They are capable of striking those who hear them bark three times with such terror, they would die from the shock, but currently only use singular barks to ward off intruders from the church grounds during the tournament. Banshees Banshees dwell in the forest and town, unable to truly rest as the felines hunt for their souls. They are often mourning their lost kin, and with the added stress, usually very irritable. They tend to scream and howl at those who disturb them. Usually Banshees are female, but we allow them to be found as any gender. Cat-sìth A fairy that takes the form of a cat, usually black with a singular white spot on it’s chest. These felines are known to steal the souls of the departed who have yet to leave this world. In this particular depiction, these souls are stored in their tails, which is bright and flickers like a flame. They are easily distracted by music and dance, and tend to be caught walking on their hind legs often. Please feel free to explore different kinds of Fae in Celtic myth! These are only examples we have provided. They are certainly not the only ones.
These are certainly not the only Fae you will encounter in this sealed away town, but a few you may see often…

Name: Joseph Domhnall Age: Young in appearance Species: Guardian Fey Personality: Childish in nature but oftentimes cruel towards those with a negative affinity. Appointed magistrate within the hamlet of Caoin, Joseph resolves conflicts that get a little too out of hand within the towns limits. A guardian fey once prayed to for protection from oncoming raiders or war parties, giving blessings to all who truly believe they're in need of it. As time passed, word spread of this use from small tribes. Warlords would abuse the boon, asking for their favor instead, leading to the demise of many innocent beings. Their form began to twist and resemble the embers of fallen villages, and as such, sought to hide from the world within Caoin to stop this abuse. Abilities: -Capable of providing blessings of fortitude and resilience onto others or themselves. -Shapeshifter, but only in form, not outward appearance. Typically preferring the appearance of a young man or minotaur. The mantle they wear does change in size to fit him comfortably, and is rarely seen apart from it.
Caoin's current magistrate sought refuge here to escape from the violent demands of tyrants. In exchange for keeping the peace, he is free to live a peaceful life as his true self.

A 2D Illustration of a town in a foggy setting. The place is derelict and solemn. There are party streamers up for the festival... The cliffside of Caoin is seen in the distance, with a church perched on top.
The town itself is falling apart; the architecture is preserved victorian buildings, but slowly but surely being reclaimed by nature, flora and vines lace through brickwork.. Fae and people still occupy the houses despite the structures crumbling.

A reference image of an Irish Druid character. There is a headshot on the top right corner, a thigh-up drawing of her holding a staff, and 3 expressions on the very right. Name: Máire Gallagher Age: Appears mid-late 20s Gender: Female (She/They) Species: Half Aos Sí/Human Height: 5'11 Máire is a druid priestess, equipped with the ability to harness a natural magic passed down by her ancestors before her. In the past, she had to hide her true self under the guise of a nun to fit into a rapidly changing society, but now she embraces her nature to the fullest. She acts as an overseer and protector, dedicated to preserving the town, the fae who sought refuge there, and Caoin's history within the ancient Book, whether she wants it or not. She now grows weary, trying desperately to keep the fomorian giantess at bay, who dangles Cooin's safety over her head if she doesn't hold a festival euery 7 years to honour her. While she carries herself with grace and poise, this druid is quite irritable. Her current predicament has worn her down to the point of constant lethargy. She is quite soft spoken and monotone. She’ll try to be patient and listen to concerns, but does have a disdain for small talk. If it’s not important, she doesn’t want to hear it. She can come off as quite passive and shows subtle hints of annoyance with sarcastic remarks and the odd eye roll. She lacks enthusiasm, even when delivering delivering a sermon. It’s hard for her to crack a smile nowadays. As overseer, she feels weighed down by the heavy responsibility, but she does genuinely care for both for the town and those in it, even those who don’t respect her authority. She will protect the sacred text with her life to keep Caoin itself from erasure, even during times where she is certain she cannot triumph.
Reference image of an Irish Druid character. On the left she is manipulating plants such as thorns and ivy to their extremes. On the right is a clear front and back view of her, as well as her staff. Máire isn’s afraid of showing who is boss using her magic. Equipped with a knack for many types, whether it be healing or a destructive force. She will often manipulate the abundant nature around her to their extremes to show her might, or cast fae around the town to survey where she cannot see. Her body tires out easily after using her powers to an excessive degree. It’s all up to your own interpretation.
Introducing your hostess… The Druid Priestess who watches over all of Caoin, burdened by the demands of the Fomorian Princess…

Many have heard stories of a town known as Caoin, a walled community shrouded in fog that had been lost to time, but most common folk chalk it up as a mere folktale. It was known as a haven to fae that were on the brink of extinction, with the town’s Church harbouring an ancient manuscript; The Book of Caoin. It has held the town together in perpetual harmony, its powerful magic sheltering them from the world and preserving the area's expansive history within it. But now, the existence of the town has been made known to you. Shivering in the cold, damp forest, your eyes wander to observe what is visible of the medieval walls.. You hold onto a letter; an invitation to a glorious festival held every 7 years to appease a fomorian princess, hosted by the overseer of the town, Máire. The main event this time has been declared… A fighting tournament, calling for those seeking a solution to their problems to participate, with the grand prize awarded to whoever deems themselves worthy; to make use of the magical book to grant a single wish. Whether you signed up for this or not, you can't seem to leave. As you attempt to withdraw back through the trees, you come across the entrance again within minutes, even after walking in a straight line. The dullahan on guard outside can't help but watch your futile attempts at leaving — he’s witnessed this many times before. The warm light beyond the wall is inviting. Perhaps, you have no other choice but to venture inside and accept the terms bestowed upon you.
