It's so worth it too.
Somehow they've managed to make the 2nd game better than the first and it's not even fully complete yet.

I was only in the artist alley, but I wasn't actually tabling.
But had a sweater and a medical backpack on.

Would have loved to see you.

It was so good meeting you.
I'm happy Rae sent me over to your booth.

I walked around too much lol.
Woke up this morning, the soles of my feet burning and lower back screaming at me.

oops
Hoping it won't be a flare up, but ima take it easy today.

A painting set in a autumnal forrest, a robed figure with a walking stick is standing in front of old ruins waiting for the ghost of the shrine to approach. Elder Scrolls Fanart

A scene from the first Earthsea novel when Ged tries to resurrect the lady Elfarran but accidentally unleashes a shadow.

My character Yari, half kneeling on the ground, channeling her fire magic into her raised fist. The backdrop is a waterfall of lava.

Wuthering Heights fanart of Catherine Earnshaw in white flowy clothes and a veil, hovering in the air over her grave.

I turned 30 today! ☺️
So i beseech thee for some birthday shares, please ✨

Drawing of Daisy in a white peacock dress in the hands of Gatsby. Publishing synopsis reads “ In which Nick Carraway develops a parasocial codependency with Gatsby—an aspiring couturier with a fabricated identity— until control shifts within New York’s criminal underworld and a deadly, reignited obsession with a former starlet shakes Gatsby’s grip on reality, thus threatening Nick’s ideal American muse”

✨PUBLISHING ANNOUNCEMENT ✨
At long last, my Great Gatsby retelling - a psychological thriller/drama graphic novel filled with vintage glamour - is getting published! #GreatGatsbyIIE

Ended up going to ECCC on Sunday for the first time. The entire time for 7 hours I was in the artist alley. There are so many incredible artists out there and meeting so many was such a wonderful experience.

I'll definitely be back next year, maybe as a vendor this time?

At least the number is easy to remember.
But it’s not quite what I had in mind.

Got an email from my day job stating that my username was changed to a number (from my name) while I’m going to work with extreme pain from a flair up.

Gotta love capitalism.

You would love the local furry ciderhouse here in Seattle called Slightly Furry. It would be an excellent middle ground.

Thanks Rina.

Well it’s like, I keep pronouns on my bio but nobody actually looks at it.

And people wonder why I don’t show up in art spaces (usually new communities)
Best I can do is voice train again more I guess.

A good chunk of this happens online too because my voice has become very androgynous over the years. So people assume guy upon first glance. Queer communities I don’t worry about it, but it’s always the art communities this proves to be an issue.

Protection

A personal piece to explore the meaning of collaring.

All fantastic games at that.

Got home at like 1:30pm. Went into bed because I was hurting and got stuck until 6:30pm.

Can’t wait to not be in pain constantly.
I wanted to draw draw

Thank you Moth :3

Thank you!
I’ve been tinkering away learning and it’s surprisingly easy. Super fun too :3

What I’ve been up to lately.
Learning pixel art!

Periodically I’ll go to local drink and draws and goddamn the skill of those around me is insane.

Slowly I’m catching up.

Icepick headaches suck.
That is all.

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didn’t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.

I’ll definitely consider grabbing one. Hell even a retractable one may be feasible.
Thank you :o.

It’s just been such a pain to either have people tell me I’m not allowed to sit in the disabled section or not consider giving a seat if I’m in great pain because I look young.

I’m sure if I kept a cane on me, people may end up giving up their seat. The only downside is that often times I’m not in debilitating pain so it may prove weird to people if they see me booking it to a bus and then busting out a cane.

I care too much about what others think(in regards to interpersonal connections). It’s not sustainable for my mental health.

I say as this is the 2nd time writing this after deleting the draft for it about 10 minutes ago.

Nothing like having an invisible disability and I’m unable to sit in the disability section of a bus. It physically hurts to stand.

Granted I don’t know if the people sitting there have them either.
