Date night (... Wip possibly??)

"We can skip the dejarik tonight, love."

Hello there

I cancelled my Photoshop account after 15 years. Now I'm getting used to Clip Studio Paint, bear with me.

Lialana sketch for the gays. :*

I finally got into Dungeon Meshi. Should I give it a go for some Falin x Marcille Fanart? 👀

There's something about being able to fall asleep next to the one person you love, or merely in their presence.

When your brain knows you are safe, you are loved and you can let yourself rest.

There's something about experiencing your loved one falling asleep under your care, a feeling of connection, love and trust.

It's a silent way of being told they trust you.

When every second together is precious, with so much outside conflict and the fate of the Galaxy on their shoulders, relying on each other is more than a comfort, it's the reason they always come back alive.

There is emotion, there is also peace.

---

Warming up to go back to drawing these two, haven't done it in a long time.

Thank you for your understanding, folks! :3

[lightsidepaladin]

So....

I downloaded SWTOR again.

Expect gay content <cough cough LiaLana cough cough> in the near future.

Thank you for your patience and continued support. 🩵❤️

Wow there’s some fucking bullshit going on in the replies here. Moderate your fucking spaces on the internet, kick racists and other bad actors to the kerb or you risk losing everyone else. This guy has the right of it (scroll up to top).

Quit thinking you need to be fair to unfair voices

[big-tiddy-goth-ghoulfriend]

For anyone who can’t/won’t read that twitter thread, it’s by Michael B. Tager (@IamRageSparkle) and it says: 

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, “no. get out.”

And the dude next to me says, “hey i’m not doing anything, i’m a paying customer.” and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, “out. now.” and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, “you didn’t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.” And i was like, ohok and he continues.

“you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it’s always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don’t want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it’s too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

And i was like, ‘oh damn.’ and he said “yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.” And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven’t forgotten that at all.

[ID: Screenshot of a tweet from @/AmazonChique that reads ‘Pathfinder FB fan group banned all racist members. The next week, they saw a drop in harassing & threatening posts of ALL kinds. From the mod: “I encourage every community to quit thinking you need to be fair to unfair voices. Get the rot out and you’ll have a healthier community” End ID]

Tolerance is not a moral absolute; it is a peace treaty And peace treaties are not unilateral. They have obligations running in both directions.

You are not bound to tolerate people who have a stated intent to not tolerate you. Nor should you tolerate people who have a stated intent to not tolerate people who are tolerating you.

Thank you for sharing this everyone, for image IDing and all of it, thank you.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

holy carp, i miss drawing fjkxlana... their wholesomeness gave me life!

Working with UI is awesome but I miss drawing... hope I can make a come back someday...

Well, as for an update, if anyone is wondering: I’m alive, working like crazy, trying to learn swedish (moved to sweden yay), and trying to keep my health is check.

maybe at some point I’ll be able to take a breather and go back to drawing...  fandom related or not, it would be awesome.

thanks for the continued support, even if I haven’t been posting, every reblog, every heart, every inbox message, give me strength and makes me smie.

it’s comforting to know I’m not entirely alone. Although being alone in a foreign (that has very different social dynamics than what I’m used to) has been taking its toll on me.

thanks again, everyone.

may the Force be with you.

[lightsidepaladin]

Hey do you still have slots open?

Hey!

Not at the moment, sorry! ^-^

Maybe by February I might have some time to open a few commissions again! Thanks for your interest! :3 💕

[lightsidepaladin]

AHA! You might have forgotten me but... I’m not dead!

Have some space wives. :3 I MISSED THEM SO MUCH OMG. ;----; My Jedi Knight OC Lia’nne and our favorite sith wife Lana Beniko. :3 ~ “In every one of us shines the light of love”

[lightsidepaladin]

Hello you precious beans!

Gotta get something out of my chest.

I miss drawing swtor... And having time to draw at all. ;-;

I've got so many references lined up I wanted to use for Lana and Lia. 😩

Hopefully when the moving happens I'll have some time to draw when I'm all settled in the new place.

Just wanted to update you folks in case you were wondering.

Stay safe, stay hydrated and stay awesome! ;)

May the Force be with you all.

[lightsidepaladin]

Are you gonna make more SWTOR Drawings?

Sure!

I just haven't had time to sketch anything at all and when I do, I'm more hyped for Steven Universe than Swtor due to personal reasons.

I wish Bioware would release more content so it could inspire me further to draw more swtor. I just need to reconnect with that spark.

I’m really glad you included EVS, sanitation workers, and other professions that people often forget. 💕💕💕

How to Deal With Your Emotions During Lockdown

Emotions. Very few aspects of the human condition have been analysed and discussed more than our emotions and while everyone feels them in very different ways with some actively seeking to suppress them, for many these feelings may well be what makes life worth living. All emotions whether painful or joyful affect the quality and meaning of our existence, relationships and experiences. They help us grow as individuals and form the basis of our memories over our lives.  

There’s no doubt we are experiencing very difficult times now and emotions might be heightened or you’re less able to control them than normal. Maybe you’re taking them out on others. You might be feeling angry, anxious, sad or lonely or a combination of all of those which change frequently. Whether you’re isolating with loved ones or navigating it alone, our usual coping strategies may no longer be there, or are just not working for you right now. We get it. Remember, it’s completely okay to experience negative emotions so to help guide you through, we’ve put together our top tips on how to deal with your emotions during the coronavirus crisis. Rather than ignore your emotions take a few minutes to read on and discover how our tips could help you.

I know that quarantine is giving many people time to write/draw a lot of stuff and that's really amazing! Seriously, the fandom content is keeping us sane during these times! But I'm going through the opposite, that is, quarantine murdered my ideas and I know that happened to a lot of people.

So friendly reminder to everyone who isn't able to produce content: It's okay. We're in this together. It sucks that we can't do something productive when we have a lot of free time, but please don't be hard on yourself. This is a very stressful time already, so please don't make yourself more anxious if you're having a writer's/artist's block.

Take care of yourself and stay safe! I love you all! 💛
