Dan and Phil yap, writer's block, bad drawings, directional symbolism. They/them, millennial, possible cryptid.

For Dan (happy 35th) but also for all of us who are going through it right now because holy shit are too many of us going through it right now? But on the other side of that are better times. Tumblr bonus commentary: I don't love seeing people say they're not aging because they so visibly are, but in the way where they just seem more themselves every year? Please keep getting older, getting more lines where someone made you laugh, where the smiles add up, it's so much sadder not to be changed by so much living.

So many hours into something I'm optimistically thinking of as birthday art and like 99% of me still absolutely hates it but the 1% has the keys right now and really thinks we're cooking.

Dan isn't even the one I like doobling best, he's just the one I've actually finished the most pictures with at this point. I've got a bunch of half-done Phils in Procreate because what needs finishing is like shirt designs or background or something that isn't as fun. What is discipline, I've never met her.

Another repost from Twitter for posterity's sake. Look, the outfit looked good, and I'm still grieving.

Why would I do this to me. How could I.

I'm alive on Twitter again as of last night, which is great! A whole dozen people might have noticed even! Which is weird when I know I have hundreds of followers and yet no this probably is the accurate number of people who routinely see when I post stuff.

Was serious about keeping this for blogging, though, because I'd already been considering it before anyway. Also so the art lives in at least a couple places. "Art" snerk. Pictures, anyway.

I really did just say "yeah I'm thinking about getting back on Tumblr" and Twitter was like "how dare you". Well over 24 hours and zero response on the appeal. Can still receive DMs from anybody I already had them open with, I guess, but apparently can't send them now. I'm supposedly in "read only" but my algorithm is completely busted and since I can't like posts it's unfixable. So this is a relief, here, but a little lonely at this point.

I do intend to keep this up after, though, because OH GOD NO CHARACTER LIMIT YAP YAP YAP YAP.

(Bringing some things over from Twitter like I stuffed whatever I could in my car when I got evicted because god knows what could get deleted.) I can't really explain why Dan sometimes has Audrey Hepburn vibes to me, but he does? ...And as in the 50s, if you don't have your own curves, storebought is fine.

Okay I've been cut off from my primary distraction during the worst period of my life but birthday scribble is coming along.

I have actually had these shoelaces I got from the president for a long ass time. But I haven't used my main in years and tbh I am embarrassed to have a bunch of people who still follow me there see this stuff, even if most of them aren't active either. ...Like mostly for the catastrophic RL reasons, but the bunny Dan wouldn't help.

Twitter is a trashhhhhhh fiiiiiiiiiiiire and it looks like they're mistakenly suspending so many people that it's routinely days to get them back at this point, so uh, hi, welcome to my non-video blog.
