Haven't gotten to see this (yet) but I've seen gifs/images from it, it really does look pretty good for what it is! May end up nabbing one of these...

Using nostalgia to gaslight my way to victory, surely this will work!

I might rework/complete some of these, if I can remember to, because I do still love a lot of them. I know a lot of sketches tend to get abandoned for other pieces though, that's a pretty normal artist experience. However some of these... I still feel something when I look at them. They call to me.

Tbh I have found that taking care of yourself, even the little things, does in fact take the edge off. And people really don't do this enough...

If you have a toyhouse, that's a great place to sell em! I'd be happy to walk you through setting up a listing and such if you need any help with it

It was either that or devianart, I really can't remember which cus I got into them around the same time iirc. Only still following you and a handful of others from there, two of which I have actually gotten to meet in real life which was wild tbh...

Turcom but sadly this particular model isn't made anymore, however it has lasted me since 2019 and still going strong! So a Turcom could also not be a bad idea either, their tablets do go under 100$ (mine was around 55-60 iirc)

Please don't go for Wacom, esp the cheaper ones. Notorious for driver issues (dealt with this a LOT with my first tablet that was from them) and their customer service isn't pleasant to deal with (too many horror stories). Huion is pretty good from what I hear tho. The one I currently use is a ->

I'm a weirdo and put 1/2 or a full tablespoon of espresso powder in a cup of hot cocoa (I tend to do half though because I have it so sparingly that when I do have it I get quite jittery)

-> look at suffering & I'm forcefully reminded how hated myself & people like me are. I admittedly don't have the mental strength to deal with this along with my health issues & the journey of trying to understand my 2 other selves. Being a functional human being is very hard right now.

Truthfully, I hate being vulnerable on my art accounts. I regret & delete things cus I feel ashamed of being seen & perceived. This thread will probably get deleted soon. But I'm scared & I've been trying to run from that over & over but everywhere I look things are inescapable. I'm forced to ->

I remember lamenting, asking why they were doing this, saying "We're people just like them!! We're human too!!!!"
I still think about this dream sometimes. It scares me. Sometimes it feels like that dream is coming true.
