Uhhh I haven't drawn in a millennia but That Song (™) is stuck in my head and the lyrics are so comforting (and my Elsa worshipping has awakened in 6 years) so here's a freehand that felt cute might delete later :9

HAPPY HALLOWEEN AND SAFE TRICK OR TREATING

I made a haphazard video to celebrate

BGM: “This is Halloween” from Nightmare Before Christmas

National Suicide Prevention Week (½)

[Content warning: Suicide] I’m a week late, but it’s never too late or irrelevant to talk about suicide prevention. Here’s a brief (pretty personal) comic about my own experience. If you’re experiencing suicidal thoughts don’t be afraid to get help. And if someone around you is struggling with these thoughts, having a nonjudgmental attitude and listening is one of the best ways to support the person. LIFELINE: 1-800-273-8255

Pipeline Comic #11: Gumball I think it's important to practice expressing your thoughts and emotions. Personally if I don't do that for extended periods of time, I feel like words and thoughts get clogged in my brain and throat like a hideous ball of gum and it's difficult trying to pinpoint problems or convey my intentions.

Now that I've shared what it feels like to have anxiety and depression, maybe the next comic will be some things I found useful in coping with it. If you personally have any good techniques, feel free to share!

For me when depression hits hard, it's difficult to do the stuff I like because I'm constantly judging myself, and it doesn't help that I feel like this nasty, dense, viscous goo unable to move. I get frustrated trying to do the stuff I like, and I end up isolating myself. But in the past months I've gotten better at being less judgmental and doing my favorite activities to ground myself.

What does it feel like to have depression? I don't know, is what I'm feeling actually depression? I'm sure people have varying experiences, but I think it's safe to say it's not a pleasant one. These are just a few of how I feel when I'm going through what I categorize as depression. There's a lot I want to talk about in regards to mental health through this series (and they're not all sad and concerning!). If you struggle through similar experiences, I hope these make you feel valid. And If mental health is a foreign topic to you, I hope these will be helpful for understanding!

Drawn back in 2015, I joked with my roommate that a vengeful turkey would be on the loose during Thanksgiving and stuff my face with a ton of pork shoulder that I was planning to eat during the break. This is the origin of gobble turkey.

Please accept this poorly drawn "deep frying of a frozen turkey"-esque comic for turkey day

I got complimented by an awesome underclassman and it was so honoring

It's only day 2 and I'm crying for all the food I can't eat (and also being extremely paranoid about having dry socket)

I was going to dump all my inktober posts, but it seems like it might take some time to find the files so instead I’m dumping my digital comics.

Inktober 1

Crisp air! Leaves changing color! The crunchiness when you step on leaves! Pumpkin spice everything! That warm feeling! Needless to say I miss the East Coast autumn.

It's been a while! I've been pretty busy planning out some things, and in the midst of it I decided to take the FE exam next month. Whiiiiiiich means my updates will be pretty erratic. I mean. Not that they're ever consistent. Who knows. Maybe out of stress I'll actually draw and post more (probably not lol). I'm going to try to dedicate the next month into preparing for the test, so thanks for all the patience in advance!
