I won't lie, I got some news from my family regarding their health that straight up removed the winds from my sails a little bit, I might be a bit more silent over these next few days

Kinda sucks but it might not be anything but a scare, so let's just hope

Made this one for one of my players, a big eyed psionic fly named Zoi
Best RPG? Best RPG.

Big eyed anthropomorphic fly with large wings and a short, cartoonish body

Learned about PICO, the cutest TTRPG I've seen in a while, and I just have to run it at some point

The best part? The art style is so fun and whimsical that I can just draw a full token in like 20 minutes, 10/10 best RPG

My family is offering to help me get some private healthcare, and I hope that means I'll finally be able to return to therapy and who knows, maybe do something regarding the "so anxious of failing that it becomes paralyzing" thing

I sure hope so!

My most toxic trait is that I feel I need to offer something special to do anything
"No point in streaming/making videos/writing because I don't have anything special that would make someone choose my art for their time"

Being myself should be enough, but tell that to my anxiety pfff

Look, besides some grammatical mistakes because short prose is really hard to write nicely, I've revisited my first short adventure and it isn't even that bad

It's PWYW for MÖRK BORG, but let me know what you think!

It's a good mood for October :P

I really want to get back to streaming
Doing something regular as work might help out

Patreon is in that weird position that they want to support adult content, but it's sitting in between more specific kinks and might at any point decide whatever content is now not allowed anymore

My only issue with Subscribestar so far is the 150US$ threshold for payment, that's a big one

Still thinking on this and waiting in possible answers

There's so many communities out there, what attracts you to a new one?

Shukin 💛✨ @itshuk.in · 19d

If you enjoy watching streams, what do you expect when subbing/getting a membership?

Trying to figure out what to offer and what to focus on in vgen and my own future streams 💭💭

I'm offering professional TTRPG sessions again at a more convenient timezone, I'm honestly considering streaming again and making some short videos because I kinda need to throw everything at a wall and see what sticks

I know the answer is "none if the only thing you want is income", yeah 🫠🫠

I want to make a difference to those around me, but to do that, I need to be stable myself

I need the energy to fight back and rebuild from scratch if needed be

Shukin 💛✨ @itshuk.in · 22d

Might even give it a shot as a smaller, demo Live2D project as practice

I do need some resources to show what I can do for vgen

I think I want to rework a few details of my sona to make the fox closer to how I look

I've seen such an adorable take on another character that really made me go "oh wait I could've done that, right?"

I love the idea of just sharing my experience with chat, it's great, but I also know I'm absolutely terrible at planning and maintaining a schedule

Sure, it's an acquired skill, but you need it to get enough support to be able to sustain yourself through streaming and videos

I might try again tho

Shukin 💛✨ @itshuk.in · 23d

Beyond the financial reason, the only other reason I have trouble streaming is that I don't want to fill up my available schedule that I'd hangout with friends into, technically, more work

I don't know how streamers can handle having a social life outside streaming ngl

And I'm not even talking IRL

This is an open letter to whomever it may concern:

if you move to twitter.
Do not expect support from me, or even for me!

kaidzsu @ BLFC 🎰🍸 @kaidzsu.com · 23d

ppl pointed out that twitter doesn't enforce these rules. no shit because that website sucks! but this means if some stray 4channer keeps reporting you for posting noncon you'll eventually get suspended or banned. you are still breaking their rules, just got lucky getting away with it.

kaidzsu @ BLFC 🎰🍸 @kaidzsu.com · 24d

"welp twitter might be a festering nazi shitpile ran by baby hitler but hey it allows noncon so I guess I have no choice but to go back" first of all, no balls lol. second, brother i have bad news about twitter's porn guidelines

I don't think I have another platform migration in me, so I hope the backlash is strong enough for them to reconsider their ways

Because I'm just too burnt out and tired to fight this shit anymore

Shukin 💛✨ @itshuk.in · 23d

I'm so exhausted
We've seen this a thousand times, it's not even a slippery slope anymore, it's just the natural progress of censorship

Good job on enforcing a community with self-tagging and content warnings, they're now tools to figure out who to ban first

I won't blame posts without tags tbh

Please god don't delete your old bad art in the back end of your galleries, it's one of the few certificates of authenticity against AI that we have left 😔
