Sorry I’ve been super inactive this past month (and basically this whole year in general).

I’ve been dealing with a rough spell of art block which turned into … well, everything block. I’ve been trying to draw more traditionally to break out of it, but I either don’t have enough time to draw or I judge my work too harshly and throw everything away. Also, I got into a car accident earlier this month so I’ve been preoccupied with physical therapy. For a while, I couldn’t actually draw at all after the accident but I’ve luckily gotten back to the point where I can. The next couple of months are going to be pretty busy for me so I may become fairly inactive again, but I hope to post more original art and pixel art before the year ends.

Anyway, thanks for sticking around. Here’s a little something I drew over the weekend. It’s been a long time since I’ve drawn my OCs.

This post legitimately knocked me out of a doomscroll. Had to put down my phone and everything and stare at a wall.

I really do regret my inaction the most. Every time. All of my future problems are always caused by things I failed to do in the present. And every time, I get so mad at past Me for not even trying because I’m so afraid to fail.

Like. Damn. Didn’t expect pixel art of some planets to hit me so hard.

You cannot consume your way into being a good person.

#consumerism as an activism my beloved (oh no)#i just will add that this way of thinking is viewed as “english-speaking fandom behavior” in russian-speaking fandom LOL#like this is not the way how other cultures perceive media#if you get called “you act like англофд” that is not a compliment#and it means that youre too obsessed with being pure and unproblematic to the point of becoming toxic

@pinkmiraclesparkle, thank you for this addition. Add this to what Japanese fans call it, “feelings yakuza.”

Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

Have you ever looked closely at a car windshield?

The edge of the glass is painted where it is glued to the car but it has these small dots between the clear and painted glass.

These are there for a reason. When the sun hits the glass the painted areas and the clear areas will absorb heat at different rates. This causes the glass to expand and contract differently putting stress on the glass.

These dots help the glass to warm up more evenly over a larger area so the glass does not suffer stress that could cause it to spontaneously explode.

Fun fact: the Tesla cybertruck doesn’t have these.

Yes, the glass will spontaneously crack or explode in the sun.

pssssst hey. hey. free and expansive database of folk and fairy tales. you can thank me later

[amvs]

genuinely they have probably saved people.

[amvs]

they HAVE saved people actually i’m 100% sure of that. i’ve learned about so many recalls i would’ve had no idea about otherwise !!!! from the bottom of all of our hearts thank you mamoru

[mamoru]

aw shucks, thank YOU! what a pick me up!

when I was younger, I got food poisoning. I was supposed to recover from it, but I wound up with a bunch of nasty medical conditions instead. I never imagined I would become disabled from food.

so I am really glad I have been able to help spread the word every now and then about food safety and recalls, since it hopefully means a few less people going through what I have.

while I have your attention, I do not post every recall, even just for the US, so here are a few of the links I use!

recalls.gov/recent.html <- aggregate of official government recall links for the US! food, drugs, products, child safety seats, motor vehicles, and tires! (half the feeds are broken half the time, but hey, it works™! check the FDA enforcement reports for a more complete list of recalls, especially drug recalls!)

recalls for canada <- recalls for canada!

RASFF <- food recalls and safety alerts for the EU!

food safety news <- news about food safety in the US, canada, and around the world!

I was poisoned <- see where people have gotten food poisoning near you, and report your own! (worldwide!)

thanks for reading, stay safe and take care!

Can't be sincerely dark without being called edgy, can't be sincerely emotional without being called melodramatic, can't be sincerely silly without being called stupid. They're gonna hate every emotion you put in your art no matter what so make it anyway and be as sincere as you can be

[podcastwizard]

sorry boss can't come in today i was on my way to work and then a gentle spring breeze kissed my cheek and reminded me it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in this broken world
