#checkpoint post

[asktheisle]

Hey you. Yeah, you. Sit down a sec.

I think we all know what's going on right now, it's kinda hard to avoid it. Not just this last week but all over the world too. It's rough out there.

I know we're all collectively freaking out, I've had my fair share in its own forms.

So that's where this post comes in, welcome to ✨ The Checkpoint✨

I'll reblog this post every once in a while at randomish intervals, and with it comes a few things:

did you eat something today?

did you have water?

did you go outside for a few minutes to get some sun? (if weather permits)

have you talked to anyone today?

think of one good thing that happened today, even as simple as seeing a pretty cloud outside

This post is also a little signal flare to drop some positivity for your fellow folks here which can be done by sending an ask in. Use the askbox too to drop something good that happened to you, we're gonna celebrate even the tiniest of wins here.

Look for the helpers, check in on your people. I know I have a lot of people in mutual servers on discord so it shouldn't be hard to find me, but if you want an ear I'll do my best to be available-hell if you want you could add me on discord, message me here if you need my username.

Day by day guys, hour by hour even. If it's gotta be minute by minute, anything that gets you through.

We'll be alright <3

returning to fandom and tumblr all anxious from fomo only to get hit with the never-ending stream of amazing content and thirst and realize nothing's changed too much and I can gradually get back in the game is the best feeling ever

HI FRIEND I have done all of the above today! I am also seeing wicked (again) so I am Hyped and … POSITIVITY TO YOU!! Your current arc is like so gripping and I am so invested!!! I also really have always loved how you draw battle scenes and Pokemon moves!! Have a fantastic day 🧡

Oh HELL yeah love that for ya hehe 💖 I remember listening to the Broadway album years back and falling in love with it, been a dream to see it tour (it always sells out, reasonably so hdjs) but I spoiled myself and took a listen to the movie rendition of Defying Gravity and just *chefs kiss* HOOO, I'm about to go back into my musical phase if it keeps up

AWWW big thanks!! I was wary going into the 180 degree tone shift but it makes me very very happy to hear that this arc has been gripping people-I honestly think it's my best one so far and I'm fearing having to match that with coming arcs gdjsh but yes battles have always been fun for me to draw-I love me some dynamic poses and going off with colors, it's one of my favorite things to do <33

I hope you have a great day too! Enjoy that encore viewing of Wicked for me hehee

Getting some much needed cleaning done today in preparation for my parents visiting for the next week. Making sure to take breaks and enjoy some FFXIV time while I can though. It ain't much but it's an honest work.

Ah yes the classic "si quieres andar tienes que limpiar" philosophy, even though you're not really going out yourself gdjd

Get that grind in for sure 💪 honest work and good work on top of that too, glad you're making time for yourself 💖

I'm going to visit my cool grandparents and siblings for the weekend, so I have that to look forward to. I also took a nice, warm shower and got to use my fancy, good smelling lotion afterwards as a treat. I'm still worried and scared, but I'm doing a lot better.

Also, I want to thank @noblejanobii/Shaymin Cafe and @duskffyart/Ask-Chime-Knight for what they're doing with the little chibi art, and just for being really awesome people in general 💜

Oh HELL yeah family time, I hope y'all do something fun! I'm of the philosophy of having good smell stuff so you're more likely to use it too, we got this nice lemon soap at home that is just *chefs kiss*

Deep breaths and keep finding little things to look forward to, even if you gotta make those things yourself kiddo. You got people to lean on 💖

Hey @noblejanobii and @duskffyart ya hear? Keep doing the great jobs you've been doing. I know things are extra hard and you both got a lot of work ahead of you, but your efforts don't go unnoticed 💖

Even if most of the days might not be great or special, I still have some positive things to tell:

First, I attending Discord streams with some of my friends. They are chill and of course very fun.

Second, I drawing for other people this weekend to make their day better.

Third, I'm finally able go outside for the first time for like, a year or something.

For all people in this community: I might not be very social here, but you are the greatest people I've ever met. Keep living your life in full no matter what. 💖

Always something to enjoy in the mundane, nothing wrong with that c: for me personally I've liked going out in the yard to take the dog out when it's golden hour, it's my favorite time of day to just stand and take it in hehehe

I should join more streams, maybe that's my resolution this coming year 🤔 hooray for being able to get outside a bit though!! It really does some wonders to just get a bit of air even for a few minutes, I hope you enjoy it!

Can't wait to see the joy you spread around with those arts hehe, you keep doing your thing Aro 💖

I ate, drank some lemonade, went outside for a walk even though it was freezing outside, talked with several of my friends, and am having a lot of fun in the Pokemon IRL community!

I'm scared, but I'm going to try my best to get through this.

Oooh share some of that lemonade if you would 👀 glad you're finding some fun for yourself Bench, keep at it 💖
