#Destiny2Art #Felwinter #ScintHArt #sketch

Destiny 2 fanart sketch on lined notebook paper with the character Felwinter wearing a fan-made custom design of Warlock robes and armor, complete with his canon accurate helmet, Iron Truage boots, and Iron Truage gloves. He stands leaning up against the side of a car with his left elbow propped up on the roof and the right is holding the handle of a gas pump nozzle into the car's tank. In leaning against the car he has his left foot pulled in front of him to cross and rest on the right ankle casually.

Me: I just don't understand why I can't just out-think my anxiety and emotions and simply react and respond in the most ideal way every single time and never feel bad

One surprisingly heartbreaking thing about living in these times is seeing young people who finally made it to college/graduated/got a job/achieved the thing they’ve worked so hard for… just watch their opportunities disappear. And it’s even worse because absolutely none of this had to be happening.

You weren’t “low-maintenance”.

You were starving yourself of care.

You weren’t “resilient”.

You were burned out.

You weren’t “bad at intimacy”.

You were forced to perform it.

They thought you didn’t want connection.

But you needed it more than anyone.

That’s autism.

This year has been a rollercoaster, y'all; after an unexpected warehouse move & inventory shuffling, all while still working on multiple active projects & navigating the state of commerce (& tarriffs 🙄), we're happy to have our storefront back up and running!

Our team has put in so much work 💪

✨Time for more lizards and more mechs!✨

The charity fundraiser for the #AACR continues, so if you'd like to stick tape to me, get a silly sketch, or get art of your OC? For a donation, you can! (Or, order me to *not* paint!)

Live 1515 EST. :) (Nowish!)

Two blue lizards wear variations on white armor and black jumpsuits, a green lizard wears teal armour with a black and red and purple body suit, and a crested basilisk type lizard wears a deep blue and red uniform with red and gold trim.

If you are preparing for Imelda and own a portable generator, make sure your have working carbon monoxide alarms on every level of your home. One portable generator can produce as much carbon monoxide as hundreds of cars. CO is a deadly gas you can't see or smell and can kill within minutes.

Depends on the size of them. If i was just working on this one in my own time I could get it done in a week, but I mostly work on them on stream so it takes quite a bit longer. I've been working on this one since Monday before last, but that's only been 3 streams of about 2 ish hours apiece.

A few things I'm working on. Magpie embroidery, cowl, and shrug (I'm barely started on one cuff)

I feel that. Destiny is inherently a social game for me as well. And they made it where it's not rewarding to play with people. I haven't really been enjoying playing either. The one thing I really enjoy doing is dungeons and raids and there's like no point to them right now.

✨Thank you to everyone who donated today for the #AACR with #PlayersVsCancer. ✨

My little stream raised $75 USD today. <333 Thank you to my amazing community for your big hearts.

Our top donator, BigBearBee, got this little mushroom friend in return for their generosity:

A little green mushroom friend sits on a mossy rib-bone, with little white accents and moss growing over their bioluminescent body. This image was created as a reward for a charity donation to the American Association for Cancer Research. <3

We’re $25 away from chat picking my next hair colour! Join us tomorrow for more silliness, tape and goofy hairstyles :) (and art, of course.)

✨Hey! This is important!✨

For the rest of this month + October, I'll be streaming for the benefit of the AACR with Players vs. Cancer.

This will include art, rhythm games, ~and~ a Baldur's Gate 3 (honor mode!) play through on Thursdays!
