Is it too late to post this? I haven’t been online all day lol
Will try to not scroll or post again until maybe my birthday but I had a bad panic attack last night so I’m up late again delaying sleep.
Anyways fuck this hell of an earth and fight for trans people forever. See yall some other time.
I think it’s a sign that every time I’ve given into to the muscle memory and opened social media these past couple of days I’ve seen stuff that’s made me feel so unbelievably mad/sad/hopeless that I wanna explode. Taking a break is doing me good. I have been making sprites I’m not posting. It’s fun
Six sevennnnn
First person to get it. This post was deliberately worded that way on purpose and it’s been in my head for months now
Briefly returning from my break to say I turn twenty-six seven days from now 🎉🐉
i had good days here n there so i thought i was "fine" but i'm kinda not doing well. in case my volatile all over the place posting these past few months wasnt any indicator. I just kinda kept doing my best to cope but it stopped being enough.
anyways, i appreciate my friends and yall. cya around
I think i'm gonna try to stay off social media for a while, but this is hard when all of my income comes from art online. we'll see how i'm feeling after a couple days. I've been struggling with work and my own art basically all year and i've only gotten worse and worse, so something has to change
so turns out the problems i was having with productivity and motivation weren't just results of executive dysfunction. feelings i had been having for a while got kinda impossible to ignore lately and everything culminated yesterday. i got help from some friends but i think i really need a break.
i fell back asleep a second time and had a dream i was in a haunted house that had a mildly irritating ghost controlling it. he had a physical body looked like a floating white sheet with a weird gold mask.
i had a dream that i went to a beach during a storm and just kinda walked around while the wind washed over me. staring at wild waves and spiraling clouds. was oddly calming.

I need to draw more of my dragon characters. She's so cool...
It would appear suddenly in moments where Aster was at her most unstable and it would take on slightly different forms depending on the scene. You can see it again slinking out of the building in this concept art:
actually i wanna talk about this guy more cuz odds are it wont show up in the final version of aster game. in the prologue it was gonna be the first "dream entity" that'd appear to Aster. Affectionately referred to as "Teeth" this guy would appear several times to affirm Aster's negative emotions.
I actually made a ton of sprites and animations for this prologue concept (many of which are on patreon), but it became too big to be "just a prologue."
Here's an NPC talking anim that I still like:
gonna advertise my comic's launch with "it's the beginning of a new and excitingly different story"

It’s a Chaos 0 Fuck All Life gif kinda day
It’s not loading at all on desktop for me rn lol
I love that bluesky is a functioning website (lying)
i was so primed to be productive today, but unfortunately when i get anxious about potential health issues i usually spiral and dont end up doing much of anything. i'm feeling a bit better now but its late and i'm tired so i doubt i'll get much of anything done tonight
She will appear in my comic btw. Just much later. She originally wasn’t gonna, but I intertwined Jira and Beryllia’s stories with that of the main cast so it ended up having more overlap with my side story concepts.
this is an old sketch from like 2024? idk if i ever posted it on bsky

i hope to be able to show people one day. it's a deeply personal story that spawns from a time in my life i almost didn't make it through. it means a lot to me and i hope to be able to bring it to fruition eventually.

It's been long enough that I can confidently say I won't be making the prologue into its own game anymore, so here's some NPC sprites I made for the Aster prologue concept that I still really like!

Lashing Out
I think I might have a pinched nerve or something though. Weird tingling in my back and one of my legs has been getting like hot flashes for the past couple days? So it’s either back problems, or back problems plus hormones. Probably not dying.
