Good morning.

I’m not sure I’m ready for this week but I’m going to try my best anyway.

[aetherbox]

Goodnight, world.

Genuine friendly summer reminder for my fellow fat people.

We have more body than skinny people so we also contain more water and therefore need to drink more. 2 Litres is something skinny people need to drink we need more. I aim for 4 litres a day.

While any waterbased liquid is good try to not drink all 4 litres in coke or soda. I absolutley do recommend sport drinks or similar things. Fat people like us, or at least me, sweat a lot in this heat even without sport. Refill those electrolytes. Your body will thank you.

My go to drink at home is a 2 litre jug of water with just enough store bought raspberry or orange syrup that it has a taste thats not water.

Please stay hydrated in this heat and take care of your body. Its the only one you have.

(If you clown on fat people in tags/replies/comments I will hunt you for sport)

Recently, I went to a physical therapist and found this in the bathroom. Useful! Especially the part where it recommends drinking half your weight in ounces.

It's been a wild fucking time. Every time a social media site goes down, I start looking to see if it's actually down for me or if something else hinkty is going on. I guess I'm glad I came to tumblr. I didn't see whatever's got die-hard tumblrinas spooked enough about tumblr actually going down for real that they're posting their empty bluesky, pillowfort, and deviantart accounts again, but I guess I'm downloading my tumblr accounts now. Just in case. In case anyone wants to find me, I have a Bluesky account (Grimmdrewit.bsky.social) and a pillowfort I think (Hulderhearth? I'd have to look again I don't use it often.) I have a couple of thoroughly abandoned Mastodons and while I think the fediverse as a concept is neat, I find the learning curve really steep and the experience...buggy. I'm lurking on a lot of sites, like Cara and A03, and Reddit. Nothing ever felt like a good enough fit, so I kept drifting around. I've nuked FB, Instagram, Tiktok, and I'd have to check but I'm fairly sure I nuked my ancient DA accounts? I am on Discord and I'm fairly active there. If there are any other sites people are moving to, I'm always game to check them out and maybe start posting silly drawings and poems about birds or something.

Playing with my copics and tombows. Rah found this sketch I made and inked it last week and I colored it. I'm happy to see these idiots again.

Aaaand now my nasal cavity feels like this! Progress!

One of my kids coughed in my face on Thursday so I spent the next day catching up on Peter draws videos on YouTube and drawing how the inside of my sinuses were feeling.

I have never been so inspired to do a fan comic in my life. This is a fan piece for the web comic @longexposurecomic It is a mildly supernatural teen romance that breathes fresh life into the highschool tropes by taking that time to actually indulge in deep characters (gods forbid). It is brilliant, funny, fresh, socially progressive, sincere and brought me a certain amount of peace when I was running out of energy. By @smokeplanet (Mars) If you wanna see more fan art by other peoples then go to @mitjo the fan page.

I’m don’t doubt u get several hundred messages a day already telling u this, but ur work is gorgeous and inspired the shit out of me. I was in the middle of drawing my own OCs and preparing for Supa Nova when I made the mistake of browsing the mermay hashtag where I saw a seal person to compare to my own and from that point on was pretty much fucked because I suddenly realised that I suck at art. U’ve had me totally rethinking how to light pieces and further push exaggeration in faces and for that I will now be a better artist so thank you for ur amazing work and immensely satisfying comic. I am an incredibly fussy arse so for me to actually find something I enjoy is nigh impossible but now that I have I will look to it whenever I need distraction from the space in my own head. As for the stress u’ve had with people eating at ur own inspiration by in some way or another implying that ur success has been anything other then an excruciating amount of careful effort, thought, work, self doubt and immeasurable love, I am extremely sympathetic and I wish there was something I could do to help make you feel as positive as you’ve made me feel over the last few days, i hope this comic can do something to give you back some energy that thoughtless people tend to sap. I hope you keep going and have pleasure in doing so cause this comic and all your work is wonderful and the world need more people like you.
