another Deep Love of mine lately has been this absolutely enchanting frog prince doll...look at his lil froggy paws!! 😵💗

i'm revamping this to be a personal space now lol, i don't update art on here like, ever. anyway check out my new doll game obsession

it's honestly made loving things i love more genuine with less reserve. like of course i'm aware of problems and criticisms! but honestly it's been refreshing to feel completely unashamed of Loving Things and enjoying myself so i can continue to endure and do my best for the people around me n my loved ones...

stares in the distance...i've withdrawn from most social media lately and gotten Way Too Into Kpop and it's been so healing...

i'm a bit too sensitive, so openly loving things other people openly hate has been tough for me lately. but since getting into A Fandom i'm like, oh i get it now, i get why people are fans

i feel so much more mentally healthy n less anxious...sometimes i feel i'm being willfully naive but i'm just trying to do away with needless negativity in Shitty 2018

we all need our de-stressor in 2018 and mine happens to be watching 7 beautiful idiots make fools out of themselves

in happier news i took the Indulge horoscope advice extremely seriously and have gotten neck deep into kpop fandom so if anyone here likes block b...let me know

like idk, i'm not satisfied w where my writing is anyway but i know that will only be stronger with time and practice. i just hope as the story goes on people finally fuckkng get what i've been subtly pointing toward for like the past five years (laughs weakly)

like look y'all this ain't my full time job, my readership isn't massive, so excuse me if i'm taking my sweet fuckkng time and just making what i want to make

a little annoyed at feeling like my comic is continually condensed down to "cute" and like webcomics readers forcefully not knowing how to infer information about a story, wait patiently, or even read between the lines

like i don't know maybe i'm just a bad writer but it's!!!!! really frustrating

god thank god every like horoscope lately for virgo has been "have fun, be indulgent, relax" bc that's all the fuck i wanna do these days

happy new year y'all! i spent 2018 trying to muscle my way into an art career and despite a lot of self doubt i finally made it happen. i've learned to lean into my own bullshit, because most people respond better to it anyway. and tbh i'm learning to set limits on letting mean people into my life

claps my hands i just wanna draw shirtless kylo w CLAMP shoulders & vash the stampede scars let me L I V E

i don't have time for this right now

like...i feel like star wars was a mess but i love it and its bones so much the longer i think about it. i go into media a lot being critical, sure, but also trying to glean as much joy as i can from it lol

god i just saw a small town texas mom on fb bragging abt using essential oils on her infant kids and never giving them antibiotics?!?! has the antivax craze just lumped in Common Medicine as well?!?!

oh my god this just seems Unreal to me. when i was a kid i got really bad pneumonia and probably would have died without medicine...there's a reason child mortality is low rn!!!!!!!! it's medicine!!!!! ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

here's a pic of my roommate firing up zelda

WE WATCHED THE EPS OF SAILOR MOON R WHERE PRINCE DIAMOND IS CREEPY @ SAILOR MOON LIKE "she has those same angry eyes as neo queen serenity..." AND KYLO REN SAID THE SAME!!!!!! SHIT!!!!!!!! ABOUT REy'S FACE LOL

oh here's the other thing about 25th anniversary phantom: the actor who plays raoul is actually hot so it makes the love triangle way more compelling

im an absolute sucker for phantom of the opera & les mis and i think it's largely bc both tap into My Bullshit but also the fact they're both like...mostly operas ? as in very little spoken dialogue, EVERYTHING is sung. i just. i fuckin love that shit!!!!!!!!!!!!

also at the end they had sarah brightman come out and sing phantom of the opera & music of the night with like five of the previous phantom performers & i didn't realize the original jean valjean was one of them!!!!!! i lost it!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha
