hi everyone !! it's past midnight but i want to let you know that i am okay .

i did see another inbox message from the anon who sent the previous one i responded to, i haven't replied to it because i haven't been able to think of what to say

i've been working on a new carrd! it's going to be heavily inspired by the PBS Kids Sprout site from around 2010, but of course with my own touch to it ! 

i've also already made my new tumblr account, i haven't posted to it yet as i am working on my dni banner, watermark, dividers, etc etc

i will let you all know as soon as the new blog is ready and has its first post !

[sillykrissy]

hello, as a fellow age regressor who likes hat time, im really proud of you for choosing fulfillment from your own comfort and happiness over that that could come from recognition from people who dont care to see the whole you. I relate to wanting to show people a different perspective on a character and the kind of stories you could write about them, but you dont owe anybody your insight... im sure you will attract likeminded people if youre sincere. Your agere art is very wonderful and i hope Conductor will continue giving you peace and joy for years to come. he loves you very much!

thank you sosososo much anon, i am genuinely crying happy tears reading this , it is like 4 am ET as i'm typing this and i just checked my tumblr

i really needed to see this, the last few days have been really hard for me, and the posts i made here and on my kariductor blog have really helped me get a lot off my chest, but it has also given me anxiety.

Conductor and A Hat in Time (as a character and as a game, respectively) have given me sososososo much joy and happiness for the past 8 years, from the day i first saw Conductor as a child up to now being nearly 20. my love for both is deeply rooted in my autistic brain and has completely changed my life in ways that i can't even understand, so it hurts me greatly to find out there's quite a bit of toxicity in its fanbase, and this toxicity led me to develop unhealthy habits and worsened my anxiety... the complete opposite of what the game itself does for me.

but now that i've recognized that i don't need to appeal to the fanbase or please other people to be happy, i can enjoy the game my own way and share the art that's actually fulfilling to me. i'm greatly looking forward to being able to share all of my imagined adventures with Conductor as my caregiver on my new blog and i'm sososo happy and grateful to have other people who can support me, whether they are familiar with AHiT or not!

i want to thank you again for your message, anon, and i hope you have a super super happy day!!! 🫶🏻

an old picture i took of a custom paci i got from kittycat.crafts (instagram) with my floofyductor plush :D

hi so i think i should clear something up real quick

my posts are directed to nobody specific and are talking about nobody specific

this is about myself and my depression i've been having because of my unhealthy relationship with social media

and i want to make a new account to re-establish my relationship with social media in a healthier way and distance myself from my past that i have a lot of regret about.

if you have any questions let me know :)

[sillykrissy]

okay perhaps the issue wasn't Discord itself but the fact i felt like i had to gain respect and recognition from a community that would never give it to me

that's what was REALLY draining me

so i'm done with focusing on that

and therefore i will probably just keep all Conductor related content to the new Clover blog yep (meaning no more posts to my (now deleted) kariductor blog , after the next thing i post there which will be about my AHiT AU)

let's go back to 2022/2023 where i just posted Conductor as my agere caregiver and didn't care nearly as much about trying to make the AHiT community like me...

also i've decided i'm completely done with the name Krissy and am fully switching to being called Clover. meaning my adult sona you're used to seeing, along with my new kid sona, both share the name Clover.

and furthermore, the new Clover blog actually will be mostly art focused but again i don't want it to be the only thing, i still want to share other silly stuff and not go all in on one or two topics like before

i want to continue Operation Save Umizoomi but i don't think i will ever have the energy or motivation to make a whole comic/story about it, if i do draw anything related to it, it will just be small interactions between characters

i'll also make a new carrd but i will keep the old one (sillykrissy.carrd.co) up until around my 20th birthday, and i'll add a link to my new carrd when i finish it, so that anybody who is looking for me can find me.

after my birthday, i will delete this account and possibly my instagram account as well.

yesterday (March 1st) has made me realize how urgent the matter of moving accounts and distancing myself from toxicity is and that i need to work as soon as possible in order to better my mental health.

[sillykrissy]

is there even a possibility of your commissions ever opening in the future?

of course prioritizing your time and health,, only whenever you feel comfortable

to those who have seen my last post: i haven't deleted tumblr on my phone yet as i am waiting for my new blog to be made, so i'll have access to this one to inform people about the new one

opening commissions has been a dream of mine for so long, i've always wanted to turn my art into my job, and it would be especially helpful now considering my parents don't want me to actually have a job that requires me to leave the house... despite my mental and physical health deteriorating from being stuck at home all day every day...

but throughout this whole time, i've had the same issue pop up again and again: how am i going to get paid?

i was so close to actually opening commissions for real last october, but i foolishly decided to write all over my $10 invoice i sent to my best friend that i was doing an art commission, which PayPal doesn't like... which led to my account getting banned before i could even accept the payment. yep, i literally got banned for doing everything correctly. explained what the payment was for and used a method that would take out a "goods and services" fee, which was required by law since i was using my account for business... and they banned me for it.

also, i've been extremely concerned about data breaches, i don't want to give any companies a photo of my ID and then find out the next week that it's floating around the dark web...

so, with all this in mind, i don't think i'll be able to take art commissions online...

and honestly, i think that's for the best.

important information regarding sillykrissy

i'm not putting tags on this so i don't know how many people will see it but i recently announced that i was leaving Instagram...

so the thing here is, i don't plan to leave Tumblr as a whole, but i do want to leave this specific account and start fresh on a new one .

my reasoning is very personal and i don't feel comfortable talking about it, but what i will say is that the name "Krissy" and a lot of stuff i've said and done in the past as a minor going by that name makes me feel immense amounts of guilt and regret and i now associate it with negative emotions, and i want to move on from it with a new online persona.

my new persona i'm moving towards goes by the name of Clover. it's like a mix of me as a kid and me as an adult, in a sense. it's physically depicted as being 6-8 years old but doesn't look like how i did when i was actually that age.

it's specifically 6-8 because that was before i started using social media, and also the time period i have the most nostalgia towards. that's a bit ironic, since Clover will have a social media account... but i'm actively making steps to limit my social media usage. deleting the Instagram app was part of that, and i've also deleted the Discord app from both my phone and iPad, limiting my usage to being on my laptop only.

Tumblr will be deleted from my phone but remain on my iPad so i can post to my kariductor blog, but i'll have it hidden away, and i'll offload it when i'm not using it so i'm not tempted to open it unless i actually have something to post, because i'll have to wait for it to reinstall itself. the new blog will be accessible on my laptop only.

my new Clover blog will be less focused on art, but still contain art in the same style you're familiar with here. i'll share my photos from my kidizoom smartwatch and other children's electronics i own, documenting my lifestyle. i'll also do journal styled posts, talking about my day or random little things like my favorite smoothie combinations and stuff.

i want to fully embrace nostalgia in a way that helps me overcome negative childhood experiences, without being completely absorbed by social media, aka the thing that played a huge role in many of those negative experiences.

so that's my plan. i'll post here again with the new blog username when i get it going... do not assume somebody is me unless i post here saying it is, okay?

have a super happy day...

Doodles!

here's some more information about Operation Save Umizoomi, in the form of doodles because i haven't really felt like making fully colored drawings lately....

[sillykrissy]

hi tumblr! it's been a while! today, i present to you my new crossover idea....

🌈 Operation Save Umizoomi! 🫧

(this title may change in the future...)

well, despite it having this name, i haven't actually drawn Team Umizoomi yet (beyond a small doodle)

so, here's what i already have instead! LOTS of art of Bluey, who is the captain of a team of characters from preschool cartoons (specifically ones i watched when i was little), who have to save umizoomi from some more disliked characters, such as JJ from Cocomelon, Caillou, and even Bluey's own cousin Muffin, who doesn't realize that the tiny superheroes are actually alive...

they all live inside a DVD case that belonged to a kid born in the 2000s, and know they're cartoons, so there will be a lot of jokes that "break the fourth wall"... Bluey and Cocomelon are the latest additions to the DVDs as the case has a new owner, so that's why they're here amongst all the 2000s/early 2010s media.

as the one leading this team, of course Bluey needs a cool new name.. so i've decided to call her Captain Sherbet! with inspiration from the sherbet in the Obstacle Course episode as well as my current fascination with the creamy frozen dessert of the same name! she wields dual bubble blasters and uses a jetpack to fly high into the sky! there have been minor changes to her design since this reference sheet was created, but i thought i'd still include it anyway.

one of the first characters i thought of for this was Wubbzy. in the above pictures, he has a bubblegum wand and kickety-kick balls. the wand creates bubbles that are a weird mix between soap and gum; they're easy to create and float into the sky, but they're a lot more difficult to pop. when they do pop, however, sticky gum gets everywhere!!! he can float inside of or on top of the bubbles. the kickety-kick balls, on the other hand, function like explosives here, but they're more like balloons popping than anything life-threatening.

i've switched around who gets the bubblegum wand many times already. currently, i'm thinking of Oopsy Bear from Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot. it fits with his character and i'm not fully sure what else he could do...

also joining the lineup is Kai-Lan! she has a hot air balloon and delivers supplies to the others and also provides a method of transport! she might have a weapon too but i'm not sure yet. she originally had a standard soap bubble wand in my first concept doodle.

here's some other characters i've drawn! Lola and Lotta, Max, and Emily Elizabeth! Lola's power has to do with her hair clips turning into butterflies, and she and Lotta bounce really high with their hoppers! Max just throws easter eggs, some of them are painted chicken eggs and others are plastic ones that pop open with stuff in them. Emily and Lotta don't have much specific stuff to them yet, unfortunately.

so yeah!!! that's all i've got so far! let me know what you think and i'll share more soon!!! :D

have a super happy day!!! 🫶🏻🫧🌈

(💖) yay! here's another OC, one of the children that attend Sproutville Kindergarten: Binkie!

(🦋) typically, she's very energetic and moves around a lot, but she's much more calm when making art! here, she made a butterfly out of beads!

(✂️) when i was little, i always loved doing crafts! not just at school, but at home too! construction paper and tape were always my best friends hehe

🍁 OC: Maple! 🍁

🫧🌈🫧🌱🫧☀️🫧💧🫧

(🍁) meet one of my newest OCs, Maple! i haven't shown tumblr my other OCs yet so there's a lack of context, but this one's the big sister of one of the children attending Sproutville Kindergarten, a fictional universe i created myself!

(🍪) as this art suggests, she loves baking and the autumn season! her little brother is a nonspeaking autistic child named Pancake whose curiosity often gets them into tricky situations, so she has to watch over him and make sure nothing goes wrong, much like Max and Ruby!

(❤️) also, this is where my art style started to change a bit and get more simpler like my AHiT/Bluey post! you'll still see that i haven't completely abandoned the fully shaded/rendered art, but i'm drawing it less frequently now.

(🍂) hope you all have a super happy day! 🫶

(💙) hi everyone! here's a drawing i made when i graduated from high school! when i posted it on my instagram, i thought it didn't really feel like it was as big of a moment as it was supposed to be, and i still feel that way :(

(🎓) i'm very happy i graduated though!!! i've been working on trying to get my id and financial aid and maybe get a job too, it's been a little stressful.

(🧡) side note, i absolutely love that my school colors were blue and orange, just like Bluey and Bingo, hehe! have a super happy day everyone 🫶
