Been doing some digging into ‘The King in Yellow’ lately. Been super interested in the lore and where the Lovecraftian-esc monster idea came from so I’m currently reading the main 4 stories written by Robert W. Chambers that are to do with the concept.

I’ve always loved the compliment ‘you’re a good drawer’ cause it makes me laugh. Yes! Thank you!!! At least I’m good at being some type of fucked up Ikea furniture. #artist

Cool so my new laptop that’s only 2 years old won’t turn on AT ALL. I’m so stressed and upset ngl. 🥲🫠 It’s a HP Envy x360 and none of the lights are coming on except for the charging light indicator. I can’t even hard reset it either. I don’t have money to repair or replace it either. 😭

hyperfixating on your own OCs is awesome bc you're the one in charge of what happens to them forever. however hyperfixating on your own OCs sucks bc you're the one in charge of what happens to them forever

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general.

If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

I swear I’m an artist. Will I ever post art? Who knooooows.

Just got done setting up a password manager. It took me half a day. If you are going to do something like this for the sake of your sanity do so before you have like 53+ passwords. 😭

ME: *writing in my journal with the sole aim of pissing off future historians and archaeologists* I returned to my home - which is built in the usual style - by the normal way, and prepared and ate dinner in the way I often but not always do

I came across an outdated guide on image grid sizing crop/proportions for bsky earlier, and I felt it was important to create an updated version! Please use this new guide instead!

Have a lot of goals for 2025 that I hope I can work on including ones to improve myself. However I REALLY want to try and improve my artwork and work on my writing projects. (They have been on the back burner for too long.)

🎇Happy New Year Everyone!🎆

So this year was rough- I won’t get too into it. It was just NOT great. The future looks scary rn ngl. The state of things has me uneasy but I’m going to keep trying to improve my situation and just keep going. More stuff from me to come in 2025!

Am I crazy or is it lonelier on social media now days?

Used to it felt like people were online to connect, now it feels like everyone is in it for exposure yet not interacting in a meaningful way?

Im grateful for my friends/mutuals I just wish people interacted with each other ya know?

Picked up several books about heraldry from my local second hand book shop with a Christmas gift card. It’s literally a book mine- like I get lost in there and it’s WONDERFUL. Love the old book smell.

Went to see Nosferatu day after it released! I enjoyed it!! I’m not familiar with the original so I can’t speak to accuracy, but I loved the whole atmosphere of the movie! I like learning about historical and fantasy stuff surrounding Dracula so it was a fun watch. I LOVED the costumes so much!

Oh boy here comes the next hyper fixation about to take up all my spare time-

Medieval knights, armour history and heraldy 🫠

The research I’m about to have to undertake for this is going to make me jump off a cliff but I wanna make a armoured boi 😫
