People often ask me, “are you excited for camp?? The dance?! You can’t wait, right?” …And I realized, I don’t feel excited for anything. I never look forward to things. I know I will like it in the moment, but before? I feel nothing.
I’m autistic also (IDK who of you was the neurodivergent one, but hey! We’re in the same neurological club! lol) and tbh I can “turn off” the part of my brain which is excited about events. I choose not to be excited about it until I know it’s happening. (I don’t care for dances specifically lol)
My dad’s not like that, he gets super excited over events and trips and stuff, and it’s led to him being disappointed several times, so maybe my brain took tips to not do that.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
That map. Wow. It is quite literally one style that my brain makes book maps up in, but which I haven’t been able to get on paper.
This is so weird, like seeing a spare brain cell just laying around. (Which is a weird metaphor, now that I think about it.)
Anyway, great job!

Fork the GorkThank you!!! 😊❤️
Signature is limited to 100 characters? That seems awfully unjust. We refuse to be bound by these ru
And… here’s a sketch I’ve been meaning to share, especially for y’all sci-fi peoples who inspired this medieval girl to actually start a random sci-fi WIP.
It’s Silvia. And I got carried away trying to figure out gauntlets that she and her (crobar?) were never finished (and I have now forgotten what she’s holding. As one does, of course).

Ooh, I love it! Your shading on the armor and skirt is amazing!

BRO LITERALLY SAME I have to fake excitement for people all the time so they dont think I’ve changed my mind about something 💀💀 Nothing feels like it’s ever really going to happen until it’s actually happening, if that makes any sense.

@koshka EEK your art! 😀 Profile poses are tricky (imo)! Her face is so well drawn and I love her calm expression, plus your shading is simply exquisite ✨Monsters creep

In the shriveled hand-keepThank you! It was drawn in an F pencil, then shaded with a 4B with highlights lifted out via random eraser I picked up.

Sorry if the format looks weird; my device isn’t working lol
“ Wow, I could never do that lol! My problems actually are there problems too 😂”
I think for me, my characters still have my problems, but they’re still different from me so I’m able to look at the problems from the outside. Like who would compare an artist girl with a comedic gremlin doodle? I know people won’t look at him too closely, so I feel safe 😛
“ so yeah, I’ll probably move out next year. It would be a lot less nerve racking without my chronic illness, I’m used to getting help with it.”
I’ll be here waiting to hear how it goes 🙂 If that’s an escape for you and it’s best for your mental health, you go for it. Maybe that mental freedom will, in the long run, help handle the physical issues.
“ Not sure if this is exactly what you’re saying with the new opportunities, but I often avoid new things to avoid failure, and I’ve realized that I’ll never publish my series if I keep that up. ”
That’s pretty accurate XD
“ You should be proud.”
I am :] I really like it so far, even if I’m not good at it.
@loopylin
Yep, brains can be weird sometimes 🤪“Everything is a mountain”
XD y’know that’s the way to do it. My characters resemble myself so much that if I let my fam read my book, they’d catch on and know waaaaay more about me then they are allowed too 😂
Defenetly, and thank you so much for being here. My sister’s health improved when she moved out, and I think mine will too. I’m so relieved, I think I might finally get better from just like… everything LOL
Also Whaley can I just say that I always feel better after talking to you? Especially when my mind is a cluttered mess. 💗💗💗

You just need a new space to declutter everything ❤️ Obviously it won’t feel immediately better, but over time you’ll find a new normal.

*Eyes water just a teensy bit* 😂❤️ Thank you so much girl. I was really worried that I sounded too factual or overbearing. There are just so many people who I emotionally support, that I constantly worry about becoming a dark empath. It’s just one of my fears, especially because I can be judgemental inside for no reason 😖 I’m glad I can help tho ❤️❤️❤️
