It's important to remember- love is a miracle. And when love comes to you, it could be fate or it could be for no reason at all. But you shouldn't look at the miracle and demand it be better. The moment is precious and easily lost. Love each other, it's just that simple.

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.
You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

Sketchbooks should be a place where you can get messy.! That’s easier said than done, but I think sketching technique plays a huge role. That's why I made a tutorial about my process!

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

commissioned experimental noir styled art for @appletateru.bsky.social 💙

#art #commissions

A wide shot of a long alleyway street with darkened, abandoned buildings lining the far side. A dark silhouetted figure stands center frame, highlighted by the blaring bright headlights of an automobile. Standing around the corner stands a woman dressed in fine clothes and a large, ribbon wrapped hat. She looks to the viewer as if she knows something you do not, casually smoking a cigarette between dark clawed fingers. A shadow cast behind her reveals the line of a halow and the shape of a scythe that curves around the illustration and towards the silhouette of the other person.

Hi, I'm really hoping to take a few more commissions before the end of the money! ;w;

puppy ✨ (comms open) @puppypresident.bsky.social · 22d

Hey everyone! Please consider commissioning me, I've got quite a lot of things I need to take care of & make a minimum amount for rent (as you may know, this art is how I pay for my costs of living!)

Take a look at my prices: puppypresident.crd.co and pass this around for me? ;w; #art #commissions

One of my Experimental Comms of the beautiful Calathea!

I've always wanted to play with reversible tarot compositions and this was the perfect subject for it 💙

#art #commissions

A digital art illustration of the Strength Tarot card featuring Calathea, an ffxiv oc Swashbuckler redmage with long blonde hair and a bright red feather earring. On the Upright of the card is a flower filled beautiful visage calmly stroking the mane of a crimson dragon, in her arms is cradled a stem of red gladiolus with a torrential wave in the background symbolizing inner strength and perseverance. On the reversed card is a show of uncontrolled rancor and excessive force as she drives the blade through the beast's neck and grapples it's mane for control, blood drips to/from her face like hunger. Behind her is a streak of fire in juxtaposition of the waves of her counterpart.

Don't put him in a situation. Or do. I do every time I rotate him slowly like a rotisserie chicken in my mind.
