Punkin as a treat for me, personally

I'll keep this thread updated with the findings. Unfortunately heart disease runs in the family so if it's a call between that or the hormones, it's likely going to be my heart.

I reached three months last Friday! There's still so much more I want to experience with it! I know hormones are not required to transition, but it is required by insurance for surgery goals I have. + It is a part of my journey.

Urgent care yesterday sent me to the ER with some concerning heart symptoms. Cardiologist appointment and likely a Holter monitor on Thursday. Unfortunately the general vibe is the doctors think it may be the T. I am once again in the building of hoping it's not the T.

To be totally fair, this has been a common issue for me ever since being close with slenderverse folks BUT it seems extra difficult now. Surprised how many spaces are also minor friendly, but I guarantee that contributes to the Culture overall.

Trying to find a self ship space online that doesn't allow RPF that EXTENDS to people like Youtubers + characters they play

Did I need to use the typewriter? no. But I had access to one and loved using it for whatever I could. Used to do dream journaling on it too.

.....I wonder if I can find old FF.net fanfiction I used to read as a kid. Legit used to print it out with y/n removed and then use a TYPEWRITER to put in my OCs name.

Once again staring wistfully at the Paint Tool Sai Marker brush after exclusively working in Procreate now.

I think about going back decently often but I don't have a working normal tablet rn >.<

Set in the context of Final Fantasy 14 — Hades carries the body of his Persephone as the stars flies across the skies, collapsing into Amaurot, the once glorious capital of the Ancients. Though he is stoic, a single tear escapes to fall away with the rising embers as the city below sinks into fiery turmoil. His Azem is dead, eyes half-lidded to stare sightlessly up to the smoke-choked firmament.

Thank you! I've struggled to find perspective books that focus on placing characters etc into environments versus the hardcore parkour math focused Architecture stuff

A digital illustration of the artist's character, a robot with white armor and a black screen face. White horns protrude from his forehead and red markings are on his face. He is wearing an alternative sci-fi version of scrubs, and is holding a pen in one hand and a holographic screen tablet in the other, it is glowing blue against his pale green scrubs. The background is vaguely medical, he is standing upright in a half-body format, seeming to be interacting with someone off screen.

😳uhmm... Hiii Doctor Mika, is it my turn to see you?

If you've read his first books, how do you feel about them? I feel like I've been on the fence about investing in the Framed series for a while.

Is so much good that has come from the use and adaptation of it. But holy fuck each day I become more and more aware I'm living in a Cyberpunk hellscape surrounded by people who couldn't give a shit about the "punk" part of that.

a course or the SECOND HALF of the episode. The fact that Palantir and generative AI exist, the fact that my job pushes everyone to use Gen AI while the world and environment fall apart around it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Luddite. Technology is wonderful and amazing and there ->

The more I get into digital minimalism, the more frustrated and angry I get at the current state of the world. Having to login to an app to pay for my laundry while being assaulted with DRAFT KINGS CASINO ads on the TV, having three ad breaks in a short podcast episode that then tries to sell me ->

At the age where self discovery looks a lot like "I'm allowed to be disabled, actually" and simultaneously "don't bully me or I'll cum now has /caveats/"

I know this has to be a super tough decision, I'm so sorry to hear that you're struggling like this <3 Good on you for being up front, and I hope this opens up more space for you to draw things for yourself!

Got into the gym for the first time today! It's still super intimidating but this is a good first step

one of the best and most unironic pieces of art advice i can give is to draw yourself with your favorites. whatever you want to call it, self insert, self shipping, hanging out with your muse, doesn’t matter; draw yourself and your favorite characters in the same space and interacting. you don’t have to post it, but make it for the love of god. I’m serious, by the way, and it doesn’t matter what kind of dynamic you’re imagining, either. if it’s platonic or familial– play with the body language. does your favorite’s body language change around you versus other people? if they’re a villain, how would they relax in that sense of privacy versus in the public or “keeping the face”? what are the gestures you’d draw for both of you talking? do they touch their face while talking? how would you draw yourself leaning in with attention? if it’s romantic– how do you draw them relaxing in the space with you, and/or vice versa? if they give comfort with tactile quality, how would they give a hug, and how does the overlapping forms of the bodies interact on paper? how do you draw longing vs satisfaction, and playing with the distance of space of both? (and yes, if it’s sexual– what kind of kinks have you always hidden away? what’s the shit you can’t imagine poking at with a stick in daylight or in reality? how would you render the textural implements of fetish items? how do you draw the raw tension lines of intimacy to the point you “feel” the intimacy and/or it feels believable? how do you convincingly portray shyness or lust?) play with how you want to present yourself too. are you not feeling your own shape language? change it up! want to wear the clothes you’ve always felt a little too scared to put on? want to play drag? use this chance to study how clothes look, how to render the tactile quality of fabric, what makes silk feel different than leather, how would you draw confidence in a person? how would you erase the idea of artistic shame in your vocabulary?

( ^ ᵕ ^ ) old advice i still stand by.

So consistently blown away by your art like WOWIE. How does a 'charcoal' piece look like a sculpture???? Your sense of anatomy, form, and values blows me away.

Going through my yearly "man I miss martial arts" phase. The natural high that you get while sparring, the confidence, how giddy and airy you get, just intrinsically /knowing/ your body. UGH.

Unironically in love with my voice cracking, it's mostly happening while I sing right now. Gets me in a fit of giggles each time.

A good primer for folks who may be on the fence about screen time reduction!

taur-au beam on Mika. He's kinda scary like this but that wouldn't stop me.

Every time I have to do math and draw grids when learning, I just sit here and think "biblically accurate anime girl"

Working through "Complete Guide to Drawing Manga and Anime" and really pushing myself outside of my own style and proportion sense.

Watching a random YT doc - the FF7 house couple doing the same shit in the Hannibal fandom was NOT on my bingo card.
