2 years as Fi-Core! And an alt version, the New year eve party outfit with the tumblr vode.
Today is my 2 years anniversary as a -core. My corenniversary! 🥳
The life as a -core continue to be kind to me. ☺️
he clones and the coresona, Fi, give me the courage to face my chronic depression and accepting my limitations. They teach me to become a better version of myself and be there for those who matters to me. The coremunity gives me enornous strenght and the new friends help me regaining a long time lost faith in myself.
Before Fi-Core. There wasn’t any hope. There weren’t friends or community. There wasn’t anyone who gives a single fuck about me and my art journey other than my IRL partner.
Things were dark as I tried to relearn how to create for the sake of creating. In Fall 2023, I decided to draw clones and Temuera Morrison portraits. That felt like healing that part of me that still see myself as a loser and broken artist.
My expectations about becoming a -core were pretty limited. But.. it is ...working? 🤷
Somehow, the inertia became the memeing and arting. The jokes and good vibes are attracting nice folks from around the globe.
I put smiles on people’s face. I push myself to draw things out of my comfort zone. I allow myself to dream of a better future.
When you spend a decade thinking everything you do and everything you are is worthless, it feels amazing to discover it matters to some. Even if it's just some likes on my dumb memes.
I still have a long journey on the path of healing and when I look at what I currently do as an artist, I know I haven’t tapped into the full potential yet.
Physical health seems to improve too. We learnt in November I had a iron deficit and since I have to take iron supplement. Guess what, I no longer need to nap daily. That mean I have 2 more hours and less brain fog, therefore I can do more STUFF. With the resistance training routine I began in July, I think 2026 will be quite promising about me getting in better shape.
I also plan to expand my non-fanart business on tumblr and bandcamp. Trying to make some of it in English (and not just in French) Maybe streaming art again?
We don’t know what this year will be for social media climate, the AI slopperies and shitty politics. Probably worse than 2025 tbh but I will do my best to continue providing nerdy brainrot about clones with queer disable leftist vibes to you’all.
Thanks for being around.🫶
Together we are stronger. Vode An.🫡
