i went through and removed a LOT of text posts from the past. i apologize is this saddens anyone but, i have really been needing to remove loads of posts that were honestly just way too venty/personal for me to want online. i have done things in the recent year to return to privacy/less personal details about myself online.

my fandom side blogs are untouched.

problem: i accidentally deleted my pinned post, oops. i will remake it

well its that time again, art summary for the year. before i write an essay about this hell of a year, fun fact its been 10 years since i did my first art summary in 2015! goddamn. All years here.

I will put my rambles under the cut here.

well this year was certainly not at all what i couldve expected, and while last year had some shit situations towards the end in terms of social life this year showed me that i could certainly have More lol. Unlike last year however, my life was far more over taken by the hobbies i got into and it slowed my art production down to a halt by June-August.

Its not worth going through the layers on online bullshit drama i got tangled up in after turning into a mmorpg nerd playing GW2 and joining the RP community. but i can fully admit it was probably the fastest i ever made (what i thought were) incredible friends only to lose them all in a snap. I speedran losing a friend group this year unlike last year's many months/years worth of build up lmao.

But I am here to blog about art-- and i hate to say I am not happy looking back at this year, but its kinda... reality. I had a great middle of the year in 2024 but when social shit got fucked then, it hurt my art. i thought i had more to show in Jan but its just a fetus ??? and i was quite slow with art due to all the social/IRL issues. it kinda recovered in the summer when i had fun getting into GW2 and filling social/hobby needs.

it slowed again though, when i let RP consume 99% of my time. that got worse when the environment became toxic and my inspiration/energy just didnt exist anymore. all the art from these last months have been my Sylvari though, as theyre the only thing on my mind that i had energy for. my issue here was that drawing them is entirely different from how i normally draw. i am actually proud/happy w the ways i drew them, something semi realistic, but it was very constricting which is why you mostly see portraits.

i am recovering mentally and emotionally still, even though things are turning around in the last month. RP has been mostly restricted to in-game for GW2 which means i am not accessing discord threads to write at my fingertips, which was a problem w how i paid no attention to anything else in the summer.

i hate to sound so utterly negative but the stuff i dealt with was so recent, and a devastating blow to what i thought was a turn in the right direction for my life socially after losing something the previous year. i dont feel the worst i could thanks to support i have, but goddamn i am crawling out from under the rubble and im so fucking tired man

it has however left me to look at my projects again. i hate that i dropped what i wish i managed to work on in between RP, but i didnt. ive felt directionless and overwhelmed with what i am supposed to do with Twisted Roots/Penrose, my art fell off of what it was last year that people wanted to see, idk what inspires me, i want to redirect myself back into a more comfortable art style, and i desperately want to manage my time well so i can work on those things and sort it out.

that is kind of where this year ends. i try to find a positive here in being able to look back 10 years to my 2015 art summary, and its there- i see it. its been a long 10 years but sadly 2025 struck harder than last year than ive ever been hit before, even more than 2022 when i had to dip from a different RP community that i poured a lot of work into. the world is unpredictable in the worst of ways. but i already see the better things coming so i will be fine.

i have basically not been existing publicly online for the last few months for Reasons and you know, it is so nice. to not be logging on here or twitter or bsky and posting like thats my life. it doesnt have to be and idk why it was. ill have to see about how getting back into sharing TR updates and doing on OC stuff will feel in terms of posting, as i want to keep doing so. but atm i am accepting how fine i feel not really existing so much as i used to online
