Another Lucario Ralsei

[danshakuarrow]

I drew a Lucario cosplaying as Ralsei. Or this is Ralsei from a continuity where he presents as a Lucario. Or this is Ralsei from a continuity where he was turned into a Lucario. Take your pick

Dwelling on a friend

There's a friend I miss a lot. Around a year ago, he told me he "wanted to distance himself from various friends, at least for a while." He was very polite, but thought I would be upset. So he blocked me.

I'm sad I couldn't say goodbye to him. I've thought about him a lot and wondered what it was that I did wrong, or didn't do right. I still don't know. Was I too scary? Insensitive?

I don't know. I wasn't upset with parting ways, I'm just sad that I couldn't wish him well.

I hope this isn't selfish... but on the chance that you're reading this, I just wish you're in a good place, and that you have lasting happiness.

Take care of yourself, man 👍

The people we wish we were

Sometimes I wish I was more like Toriel - gentle, patient, friendly, and empathetic. At the same time, I wonder if Toriel wishes she was the person she used to be before tragedy struck.

This drawing came out more naturally, so I suppose this speaks to a deeper nature.

Toriel's nuance eludes me this day. Another day, hopefully

People complain that my art is messy and sketchy. Little do they know... I am a mess of a person. And usually the subjects I draw are messy in their own way. On a good day, the lens into my world is clearer than normal. But for the all the days that it isn't, I hope it's obvious that I'm trying to polish it.

[danshakuarrow]

You're not alone in feeling absolute fear and terror of the future, Ralsei. You'll find that a lot of us are in the same boat.

I want you to know that living and acting in the face of fear and fatalism - that makes you real.

2025 Summary

Oh, where do I begin?

I've been able to draw characters I refused to draw for years, ending a 3-year-long depression and hiatus.

Lost some friends that meant a lot to me. I had a bitter fight with one of them that's weighed on me ever since. The other said they wanted to distance themself from me and some others for unknown reasons. I miss them, but if it's for the best, then so be it.

I came out to my Grandpa. He said some homophobic shit the next day. It was very traumatizing for me. I summoned the courage to stand up to him, and it seems like he's trying to understand.

Made some cool friends in art class, so that's really great!

...

...

I wonder if seeing the world go to shit is just part of growing up. You become more aware of the world, and how messy and fucked up it is. I dunno. I don't think it really matters.

But... even if this timeline gets more fucked by the day... I was still born to see these days. It doesn't matter if we're living through a utopian period or an apocalyptic one. These are my days, and I'm going to live in them as best I can.
